Welcome to my sanctuary — a safe haven from politics, religion, and all the hard happenings of the current day and age.  The steampunk riverboat is here, my chuckaboos!  I’m happy to see you.  Heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited, hosted, and supported the launch of Hullaba Lulu, a Dieselpunk Adventure. You’re all pos-i-lutely the cat’s pajamas! 

Background of the Storytelling 

Bloggers come and go — it seems like a lot of them go. Sometimes they gradually fade away. Others leave abruptly. Either way, most of the time we never know why. Early in my blogging career there was a bright young woman who followed my first serials, and I followed her blog. She happened to be a lesbian and asked me if I would please write such a heroine.  If you’ve been around me, you know that…

Welcome back, my chuckaboos!  I’m so glad you could come to the riverboat for an all new episode of The Delta Pearl.  Thank you for being here.  Special thanks to everyone who was threatened by the awful fires, but took time to let me know you were okay.

Something Personal

I’ve been gradually working on several things.  Rebecca Budd and I (along with superb audio-editing work from her husband, Don) have been cooking up a podcast.  She’ll be posting that soon.

A “meanwhile” effort has been in progress over the past ten months.  At night I’ve been editing a novella that was a serial here on my blog in 2018.  Hullaba Lulu, a Dieselpunk Adventure is finally at the dieselpunk train station.  Since some weekend readers aren’t available for…
