Welcome my chuckaboos.  Thanks for being patient while the steampunk riverboat, The Delta Pearl was in unknown waters.  Today she’s back!  

This is a brief episode, to get my toes back into the water.  Even so, I was able to use a “random reader thing.”  It’s from GP Cox, who suggested Icepick.  Immediately, I thought of the Dealer using it as a weapon.  However, it popped right up in a different way.  You’ll see what I mean.

Last time Émeraude learned more about Victor T. Elam, the young inventor who sets her young heart aflutter.  His sad past gained her empathy and ours as well.  Maybe those two will go ashore together for a little R&R.  Let’s see.

All aboard!
