A Bit From 1920.

Wow, that whole "I'll update this blog monthly" really didn't pan out, did it? Wellll...anyway, here I am!

I've gotten some lovely reading materials for research!



So, I thought this post would be all about my historical fiction work, 1920 Interbellum (working title) which is currently nearly done and going through edits as I finish the final chapters. I think I'll have it finished by January 2013.

It's only due to Abby's prodding that ANYONE knows about this little work in progress that is now up to 600ish pages.

Here's the teeny blurb again:

The story of Vencenzo, a young "man of honor" and his complex world of family, enemies and forbidden love. Set in prohibition era Chicago amidst a world of speakeasys, opium dens, and brothels. A novel. (1st of perhaps 3 tales of Vennie's life)


Would you like to get to know the main characters? Read a bit of the story?
