The Armadillo Files by Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a quirky, fun read. I enjoyed Dilly and Tatu's adventures as they time traveled during World War II.

Jazz Age Wednesdays — The Cat’s Pajamas
Looking forward to hanging out with Artie and Pip again!

Lucille Ball as Pip
Sheiks and Shebas, it’s another Jazz Age Wednesday. Today I’m here with a little trivia. If you’re a regular, then you know that I like to use Roaring Twenties slang in my replies to comments. They had such fun with language back then.
Twenties Tidbit
One of my favorite 1920s compliments is You’re the cat’s pajamas! Which, of course, means something along the lines of “You’re terrific.” It describes someone (or thing) who is the best at what they do, something highly sought after and desirable.

Jazz Age Wednesdays — The Renaissance Era to Fantasy
Wednesday, October , 2019
I’m still celebrating the launch of A Ghost in the Kitchen.
Sheiks and Shebas, welcome back to Jazz Age Wednesdays. Thanks again to everyone who supported and visited my book launch for A Ghost in the Kitchen.
It’s hard to choose a category for this latest novel, or any of the stories about Pip and her friends. Above all esle, there’s whimsy. Yet there’s also the 1920s setting, mystery, food, and there’s speculative fiction or magic realism — whichever you choose to call the ghosts.
From the Renaissance to Fantasy
Two of the ghosts were inspired by real-world people in history. However, their time was long before the Roaring Twenties.

Jazz Age Wednesdays — Toasting a Ghost in the Kitchen
Wednesday, September 25, 2019
I’m still celebrating the launch of A Ghost in the Kitchen.
I wonder if Pip will ever learn how to cook. It seems like she always lands in hot water, but I don’t think that’s what Granny Phanny had in mind. As if Pip didn’t find enough distractions on her own, now there’s a ghost in Granny’s kitchen!

Sheiks and Shebas, those of you who have scheduled in the near future, and those who have already hosted my book launch have my heartfelt thanks! I hope you could tell, because I’ve found that WordPress has been eating a lot of my comments when I visit your stop on the trolley. I apologize for that.
Yes, I’m celebrating, so I tried to make a real life Roaring Twenties champagne cocktail! This one is a perfect match…
