Saturday, January 19, 2019 Welcome back to Straightlaced Saturday! I’m toying with a new feature, that will complement the era of my steampunk serial, Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers. My thought is to give you some information about novels written in the Victorian Era of the real world, along with a link … More Straightlaced Saturday — Lady Audley’s Secret
Saturday, December 29 , 2018 Here we are, in that limbo between Christmas and New Year’s. It’s still a festive time, but it is rather a “between” time.

The multi-talented Sarah Vernon at “Rogues & Vagabonds” sent the three things that fueled the steam … More Copper, the Alchemist, & the Woman in Trousers: Episode 27
3 Things, 3 Tags, & 777 An Author Spotlight The steam locomotive to the Victorian Era is on the way, but it has to make an extra stop. It’s too difficult for me to post more than once a week, so please forgive me for doing a combination today. Before the engine reaches our Steampunk platform it’s … More Copper, the Alchemist, & the Woman in Trousers: Episode 26
