Every now and then, I totaled the number of books done (mostly so I can convince myself that I can finish the current WIP). Eight books available on Audible (7 novels, one anthology) by a variety of talented narrators. Crypt was the very first:

The 1911 Flying Girl arrived in the mail today. It is in much better condition than my 1912 Flying Girl and Her Chum. Both by L Frank Baum writing as Edith Van Dyne.

The Flying Girl cover is still bright red and illustration shows Orissa piloting her brother’s experimental plane. The Flying Girl and Chum is much more battered and the cover has darkened to a brownish red. Illustration show Orissa and chum seated side by side in plane.

Lovely conversation last night with the graphic designer about the next anthology. We're mostly settled on the front cover, but she's doing more fancy on the back cover than Jaunts. Also dealing with plumbers, so that's slowing stuff down. But a November cover reveal may be possible. Onward!

Writing life is made up of random moments, no more so than the accounting end of it. There's a mystery deposit that must be a royalty of some sort ($8) that no way offsets my plumbing bill today ($481). So I'm treating myself to a pumpkin spice bagel and closing the books on another month.

I'm still reading books off the TBR pile, although fall reads seem to be many classics off the shelf. Including L Frank Baum's The Flying Girl, which turned out to be an exciting 1911 aeronautics adventure: rosemaryjones.blogspot.com/2026/09/re-r...

The weird nonfiction from the early 20th century needs to find a new home. Help me make room on the shelves for the next obsession and find deals under $20 at Biblio: www.biblio.com/search.php?s...

Snow Baby is a circa 1928 edition. Blue cloth boards with white decoration and photographic pastedown in the middle showing the child Marie Ahnighito Peary ("The Snow Baby"). She was born on September 12, 1893, the daughter of Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary and his wife Josephine. This book was extremely popular in its day for the accounts of the time that the family lived in Greenland while Peary prepared his expeditions to be the first to reach the North Pole.
