For years, I've had a fascination with the 1920s. I don't know if it began when I read The Great Gatsby, watched people dance the Charleston, or first listened to Rhapsody in Blue, but I've had it.
It's hard to dislike a decade that crams flappers, speakeasies, Gershwin, Ruth, Lindbergh, and runaway prosperity under one roof.
For that reason and others, I decided to set my next novel, the third in the Time Box series, in the Roaring Twenties. I can think of few more fascinating stops for the Lanes, my adventurous time travelers.
I can think of few more interesting eras to study. For the past four weeks, I have reacquainted myself with everything from Prohibition to the movies and music of the time. I paid particular attention to East Hampton, New York, in 1927, the primary setting in the book.
I hope to finish the first draft, now twenty percent complete, by Christmas. I intend the publish the book itself by February 2021.
