Welcome to

Bonnie Turner's Den
~

Thanks for returning to my site. I'm still plotting and researching my "flapper"-era novel--the days of speakeasies and jazz, the Charleston and prohibition, when young women rebelled and cast off their physical and symbolic Victorian corsets to become just plain naughty in an age of craziness. This is a long process, but please stay tuned.

Meanwhile, I've resurrected a novel I wrote about twenty years ago, and I can't believe how my writing has improved since then. This novel was composed on a clunky manual typewriter--all 100,000 words of it, and several drafts. It's full of grammatical and punctuation errors, so I welcome the chance to hone my proofreading skills. I know I can cut at least 20,000 words from this monster!

I still think this story is worth pursuing, and I've even taken another look at the title. Now I realize that what I have here is a mystery, so I've re-titled it THE GHOST OF CALICO ACRES. The setting is southwestern Wisconsin . . . and that's all I'm saying for now.

Here's the good thing about working on another novel: I'm getting plot ideas for Jazzbaby while concentrating on something else.
