Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces!

Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies."

When a rash of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and her uncle are right in the thick of the investigation. And through it all, Evie has a secret: a mysterious power that could help catch the killer--if he doesn't catch her first.

Flappers at Floyd's in May

Flappers at Floyd's
a virtual book event
May 13-19, 2013
HEY kiddo...

You are invited to a 1920's ritzy party at Floyd's!

There will be music and dancing (and bookish stuff).

You might be lucky and meet Mr. Gatsby or his crush, Daisy (from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald).

Perhaps you will have a word with Evie O'Neill who may give you a reading, if she is so inclined (from The Diviners by Libba Bray).

Hotsy totsy Bright Young Things (by Anna Godbersen) are sure to be on the dance floor.

So RSVP in comments and send me a link to a picture of a 1920's flappers dress (or gentleman's suit) you would get dolled up with for this event.

Hope you can join us, it will be swell!
