Library Reading at the Inkwell

8/24/2011

I'm blogging over at Inkwell Inspirations today about my first public reading last year.

And yes, although it's last year, the information is very relevant, but what I like best is that it shows my weight loss. Nothing like a visual image for confirmation. :)

Hope you see you there.

Old Wooden Train

8/21/2011

Train Sighting!

I saw this old relic on my recent research trip
to the Batoche area of Saskatchewan.

I'm sure it's an old train car, but I've never seen anything like it.

Of course, the other option is that it's one of the original mobile homes.

Does anyone have any information they'd like to share?

I'm Branded

The complete story of my new logo...

And how my brand evolved...

And thanks to the special person who helped me create it . . .

. . . it's all at the Inkwell.

Victorian Womens Underwear BlogPost

8/9/2011

I'm blogging at Inkwell Inspirations today about a Victorian Underwear Research Workshop I attended at the end of July while at the Romance Writers of America (RWA) conference in New York.

Presented by historical romance author Deeanne Gist, the workshop was described as:

Bottoms Up: a Look at Victorian Women’s Clothing from the Inside Out
Ever wonder what Victorian women wore under all those gowns?
Find out as a best-selling historical author strips down to chemise and bloomers,
and then watch as her lady’s maid dresses her, layer by layer.

It certainly grabbed my attention. If you'd like to know more, head on over to the Inkwell and see for yourself.

Today's discussion accompanying my Inkwell post is about corsets, research, and 19th century fashion in general.

Hope to see you there.
