Thanks for coming back to the steampunk riverboat, my chuckaboos! I took a little break, but I’m here today with an episode that is… eventful to say the least.

Random Reader Things

Dan Antion at No Facilities provided the “random reader thing” used in this chapter — stopwatch. This is a fast-paced segment, so that’s doubly suitable.

Today’s episode builds on many past chapters. An important one was Chapter 6 — Listen.

Last Time

“Blue John was ranting like a lunatic. I didn’t understand half of what he said. The only part I heard clearly was ‘It’s coming.’ And as nonsensical as it sounds, I could have sworn he said ‘the other pearl.’ For a moment I thought he meant the Delta Pearl, but that’s insane,” Victor commented. “Then…

Welcome back to the steampunk riverboat, my chuckaboos! This is a short episode, but it helps explain what is going on in the story. If you’re paying attention, you’ll find a clue.

Random Reader Things

Diana Wallace Peach has left several great “things” during course of this voyage. This time I used martini. By the way, I’m running low on random reader things, if you care to leave one in a comment. Thanks again to Dan Antion‘s for letting me use his photos.

Last Time

Last time we left just as Blue John somehow launched himself toward the tear in the sky. The Delta Pearl answers to no one, and she acted as if she might leave at any minute.

All aboard!

Welcome back to the steampunk riverboat, my chuckaboos!

Random Reader Things

Weeks ago, Dyanna Wyndesong asked me to use the Victorian slang word bricky again. It’s such a fun word, that of course I use it whenever I can. This time I wanted to make sure I gave her a shout-out. Thanks again to Dan Antion‘s for letting me use his photos.

Last Time

As this paddle-wheeler has traveled the river, some of the passengers have left. First, the Harveys — a newlywed couple and their bratty nephew. An early encounter with the kid’s pranks had our heroine dangling precariously over the railing. With enough passenger protest, the Captain put the trio ashore in Chapter 27.

Last time the circumstances were entirely different when we parted company with Alison and Azalea. That goodbye was much…

I’m happy to see you at the river, my chuckaboos! As many of you know, I’ve thrown my hat into the “ring of fire” for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).

As if drafting a novel in 30 days wasn’t enough… Well, I already intended to be editing Dead of Winter for serialized book publication — so I added it as a second NaNoWriMo project. My goal is to edit at least 30,000 words in November. That should keep me on track for publication. Although, I’m afraid I still haven’t found any mojo for my novel in progress. I keep hoping my mojo will sizzle and pop out of that ring of fire known as NaNoWriMo.
