Welcome to Hidebound Hump Day, my chuckaboos! If you are looking for the latest installment of the #Steampunk fantasy, “The Delta Pearl,”click here for Chapter 2 – Fret.

Most of you weren’t too excited about the “cock-a-leekie soup” that turned up in the last episode. However, several were downright enthuzimuzzy! At least one reader asked for a recipe.  With that in mind, I’m doing a post with recipes of some Victorian foods you might find on the menu in the Delta Pearl’s dining room.  All aboard!

Welcome, my chuckaboos!  I warn you in advance that I’m flying by the seat of my pantser pants even more than usual today.  My week has been so full of insomnia and interruptions, it’s no wonder Émeraude is looking like a worry wart.   Internet interruptions have become a constant thorn in my side and pain in my patootie.  If you are stuck with a company called TDS Telecom, you have my complete sympathy.

In the interest of getting this posted before I lose Internet too many times (note that I didn’t simply say “again”), there’s little explanation or preamble today.

This week’s random reader things:

Great minds think alike.  John W. Howell and Jacquie Biggar both left Brass BellsChristine Robinson left Chignon, and Andrea Stephenson gave us a lovely Aspidistra.

Thanks to Dan Antion for…

Welcome to Hidebound Hump Day, my chuckaboos!  Sheiks and Shebas — hi there, you’re at Jazz Age Wednesdays!

Update: I apologize that I’ve been a poor excuse for a hostess at my own party. My Internet has been down more than it’s been up the past three days.  I find myself repeatedly redoing comments and emails, and losing Facebook posts and comments, every time the Internet drops again.

I’m of two minds — and eras!  Or couldn’t you tell?  Where to go with my midweek post?

I’m still, every so slowly settling into my new home, 2,000 miles away from the place where I lived for ten years.  Meanwhile, I’m also having a great time using  Dan Antion’s photographs and writing my new serial, The Delta Pearl.  It’s a steampunk fantasy…

Welcome, my chuckaboos!  (If you are new around here, “chuckaboo” is what the Victorians called a dear friend.)

As most of you know, I’m reworking an unfinished novel The Delta Pearl for this serial.  Since I have a good bit of material that I want to keep, my secret hope was that many of the “random things” you readers leave would already be in the story.  For once luck was with me!  In Chapter 1, a very minor change let me use old pal from David J. Rogers.  Using dubbed from Jill happened in a similar way.

Also a particular item has a rather significant part in the story.  I was sure someone would eventually use it as a thing, but would it happen in time? Thankfully, Maggie did leave it as a thing — cameo
