A general blog about Teagan’s books
Wednesday, December 26 , 2018 I hope everyone who celebrated any sort of holiday this week had a joyous and relaxing time. I’m always hearing people say “Christmas is all about families.” Well, I don’t have a family, but I enjoy the holiday in my own way. Festivities were perhaps a little restrained this year for … More Hidebound Hump Day — Cornelis Drebbel 23

Howell at Fiction … More Straightlaced Saturday — Cornelis Drebbel 22.1
via Tales from Fraggle Towers Monday, December 10, 2018 I’m having a Wayne and Garth moment for not realizing the fabulous Fraggle had done a rockin’ review of not just one, but all the Atonement books — at Fraggle’s Other Place. So, I’m doing an extra post to share it. I hope you’ll click over and … More Tales from Fraggle Towers
Saturday, December 8, 2018 When I was ready to publish Atonement in Bloom, blogger extraordinaire Dan Antion did the first ever (as far as we know) fictional Thursday Doors post. He used doors and buildings from his part of the country that made him think of my quirky fantasy town in Tennessee. Recently, with the photos Dan … More A Bloomin’ Barn
Wednesday, December 5, 2018 Welcome back to Hidebound Hump Day. Find your seat on the #SteamPunk train. We’re headed for another episode of Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers.

Saturday, December 1, 2018 Welcome, my chuckaboos! With promoting the release of Atonement in Bloom, I haven’t done a Straightlaced Saturday in awhile. Let’s take a little #SteamPunk jaunt today. As most of you know, I’ve been rerunning the serial, Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers. We haven’t reached the halfway point of the story … More Straightlaced Saturday — Character Recap — Cornelis Drebbel

Wednesday, November 21, 2018 Welcome to Hidebound Hump Day. Find your seat. The #SteamPunk train is preparing to leave the station. Oh, and buckle up, because we may encounter some dangerous curves.

Saturday, November 17, 2018 Welcome, to my sanctuary. Could I offer you some coffee or tea, and a pastry or maybe a breakfast biscuit?

Wednesday, November 7, 2018 Hello, November! It’s National Novel Writing Month again — or #NaNoWriMo as it’s also called. I have more going on than usual, so this year I’m doing the editing version.

Wednesday, October 17, 2018 It’s Hidebound Hump Day, and another episode of Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers. There was not a Straightlaced Saturday chapter last week, so today we pick up where we left off a week ago. Remember I’ve mentioned that this serial was originally presented as a “culinary” mystery. All of the random “things” that … More Hidebound Hump Day — Cornelis Drebbel 13
Saturday, October 13, 2018 Straightlaced Saturday will not be at the steampunk train station today. This weekend I must not blog, no matter how much I miss visiting with you. Why?

Saturday, September 29, 2018 It’s another “Revealing” Straightlaced Saturday. The first blogger I got acquainted with — back in November of 2012, for National Novel Writing Month, was Mary J McCoy-Dressel.

Wednesday, September 5, 2018 Welcome to Hidebound Hump Day! I call it hidebound because Victorians are sometimes described that way.
