Hi everyone. I’m sorry to interrupt The Delta Pearl. My steampunk riverboat serial will be back next weekend.

Today I’m doing a very special post. I’ve finally “bookized” the third novel in my Roaring Twenties series about Pip. I’ve brought a bunch of friends for this shindig on a magical 1920s trolley. First let me tell you a little about this novel.

When my character, Paisley Idelle Peabody (better known as Pip) came along, I started writing a type of fiction that I never expected. Pip is a flapper. Her stories took me…

Early Lucille 2 A very young Lucille Ball

Hi there, Sheiks and Shebas. I’m happy to see you back at Jazz Age Wednesdays. Here we are in the month of March. For many of us, March came in like the proverbial lion. I hope it takes on a much more lamb-like countenance for the remaining three weeks.

Good riddance year of the Fire Rooster!
Welcome year of the Earth Dog!

Speaking of critters… I haven’t done a post for Chinese New Year, although I did last year. I’m going to re-share the story I wrote for last year. I hope you don’t mind. If you are curious about the original post, click here*. Anyhow, I used my “three things” exercise to write the story. Those things were Fire, Rooster, and Calendar. Without further ado, here’s 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).

1923 Harold Lloyd Safety Last clock Harold Lloyd in Safety Last, 1923

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.
