Blue Lucille Ball Stage Door Trailer Welcome to Jazz Age Wednesdays here at Teagan’s Books. Last time I posted part-1 of a story that resulted from a collaboration with Fiction Favorites* author John W. Howell*. John did one of his terrific lists of Ten Things Not to Do, and I wrote a story. You can read part-1 here*.

John Howell Books I didn’t share his list with part-1 of the story because I felt it would be sort of a spoiler. So without further ado, I present John’s list, followed by part 2 of Pip Meets Tiny.

Ten Things Not to Do in a Tree with a Bear

10) If you are in a tree with a bear, do not poke it. If you do, at best he’ll think you want to play. At worst, you will find yourself defending space limb for limb. (Didn’t think you…

Happy Valentine’s Day

Dennisons 1920s Valentine girl Happy Valentine’s Day from Jazz Age Wednesdays here at Teagan’s Books! Awhile back I was lucky enough to do a collaboration with Fiction Favorites* author John W. Howell*. He did one of his outrageous lists of “Ten Things Not to Do” and that took me to my short story, In the Pip of Time*.

John Howell Books I’m happy to say that John agreed to work with me again. Reading the list that John created especially for this collaboration gave me such fun, vivid images that my story will be more than one post. However, his list will be sort of a spoiler. So I’m saving it as a treat for next week.

Anyhow, in John’s lists of things not to do, a recurring character is Tiny, the WWF champ. I thought it might be fun if Pip…

Jazz Age Wednesdays 21 ― February Pondering

Hi there, Sheiks and Shebas. It’s darb to see you back at Jazz Age Wednesdays. It feels like it’s been a long cold winter to me… and it’s only February.

Teagan’s Pondering

The research geek in me wanted to know how different I might have felt if I lived in the Roaring Twenties. How did they keep their frozen spirits up and generally cope with winter? Putting it into perspective, some preferences weren’t profoundly different from the present. I thought I’d provide you my pondering.

Snuggling with a pet is still a great idea. I can’t make out all the text on the cover, but much as we might, the folks in the 20s thought about spiffing up their “nests” with new decor. A new lampshade or an art map (maybe a map of warmer climes).

Welcome back to Jazz Age Wednesdays. Last time I posted part-1 of a story I wrote because Hugh Roberts, of Hugh’s Views & News, asked me to participate in his new feature series. (Click here for Hugh’s post.)

Writing Process

Lately the real world has provided an over abundance of the “s” word. Take that anyway you want, but I meant stress. Stress drain. It leaves me depleted of… well everything. When that happens it’s extremely difficult for me to write, as this story proves. I spent two weeks of my writing time developing a simple short story. I finished it last week, but I didn’t manage to make it short enough for one post, but today we have the conclusion.
