My plunge into the earliest photoplays yielded Perils of Pauline (1914). The serial and the book followed the Adventures of Kathlyn's success. The novelization has 15 photos. Including this gem featuring Pearl White and unidentified actor in a gorilla suit! Happy Monday!

Happy #caturday to me! Adventures of Kathlyn arrived. A very early movie novelization (published in 1914 for the ongoing 1913/14 movie serial adventure of same name) and illustrated with photos from film. The star was known for her willingness to work with big cats. The leopard shows his best side.

A friend asked if I had ever had three books out in one year before. No. This was a first for me, but very fun. 2025 saw two new novels released in the Drowned City series AND an omnibus including the first three Arkham Horror novels + two new stories from @aconytebooks.bsky.social. #writer

Diving down research rabbit holes, I ordered the novelization of a silent movie action serial which pioneered cliffhanger endings. Doesn't everyone needs more 1914 action fiction on their shelves? There's lions. Tried to explain to my #writing meet-up today. They looked like

The review had me at "Morris Dancing and sinister rabbit" but toss in the conductor is named Finnegan Downie Dear and I'm trying to figure out how I could transport myself to Opera North. If you are near Leeds, let me know how it is. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...
The Devil’s Den review – folk horror opera with morris dancing and a sinister rabbit is an eccentric delight
Isabella Gellis’s first full-length stage work has the feel of a modern mystery play as it unpacks the legends surrounding an ancient Wiltshire monument

Listened to a fascinating lecture about Gutenberg and the early days of printing while sorting and recycling a pile of printed mail. The irony is not lost on me. But I love learning about how Gutenberg printed small projects, like school books, now lost to history. Thanks Book Club of Washington

Enormous fun yesterday chatting about 1920s art scene in Seattle (reopening of Kerry Hall as community arts center) and writing as a collaborative exercise (Quasar @sfwa.org). Today is writer's group and a lecture about Gutenberg's book collecting habits (the printer guy liked books!). Happy Sunday!

There are so many great books in this bundle. I already own about half. Certainly Stephanie's Harwood Spellbooks! Also the Miss Dark series (Tall & Dark is the first book) is a steampunk Leverage delight.
My complete Harwood Spellbook boxed set usually costs $9.99/£7.99, but right now, you can snap it up in the Leading Ladies StoryBundle along with 9 to 11 other books by amazing authors for just $25 in total! Check it out:
