Jazz Age Wednesdays — In the Pip of Time

Early Lucille 3 copy Young Lucille Ball as Pip

Welcome back to Jazz Age Wednesdays. I planned to do a cover reveal today, but something came up to take me out of the blogosphere for a day. So instead, I’m sharing a short story I wrote two years ago.

Back then one of author John W. Howell‘s hilarious lists of what not to do gave me the “things” for this story. Those random things for this pantser story were Counterfeiting, Time, and Hollywood.

This is a “hump day” rerun of a short adventure with our flapper, Pip. She’s at the Bijou Theatre, and things get weird…

Hi there, shieks and shebas. Welcome to Jazz Age Wednesdays. Horsefeathers! Look at that date… June is more than half over, and I still haven’t gotten back to work on finalizing my third Roaring Twenties novel about Pip and Granny.

Maybe it’s hard to have my head in two different eras at once (meaning the Brother Love serial is set in the late 1950s). Maybe it’s that I’ve had “issues” (I’ve blogged about some) in my new location. Maybe it’s a lot of work for one person to move across the country, and do all the work of settling into an older home. (At this rate it will take me two years.)

Anyhow, I’ll stop beating my gums and get to the point. While I try to get back to the Jazz Age and finalize A Ghost in the…

Copper conclusion image It’s time for Hidebound Hump Day, my chuckaboos! I’m grateful to everyone who started this wild ride on the #steampunk train, and then the submarine. What mode of transportation will we take next?

As you know, the serials on this blog are pantser stories. They are completely unplanned. I let the “three things” readers send drive the plot of each episode. This conclusion is the exception. It was not driven by three things — rather it was formed by the “things” from each of the previous episodes — so that’s 99 things! I warn you that it’s a long chapter, but like I said — 99 things!

Hang on tight. The story concludes today!

victorian novels Composite altered image by Teagan R. Geneviene

It’s Straightlaced Saturday, my chuckaboos! It’s been awhile since I shared a Victorian Novels post. Since my steampunk serial, Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers. will conclude with the next chapter, I wanted to do one more of these features.

A few years ago I read a Project Gutenberg copy of The Jewel of Seven Stars by Bram Stoker, and I enjoyed it tremendously. I only knew Stoker for horror, so I was delighted to find the novel was (at least to me) more of a suspense/detective story. I was in equal parts fascinated by the innocence and chivalry of the barrister hero and uncertain about the lead female character.
