Welcome to The Teacake Gazette, my blog where I write fiction set in the Victorian, Edwardian, and modern eras. It is mostly romance, but there are stories of adventure and magic set in the American West, Victorian England, the circus, fairy tales, and some spooky tales thrown in.
I was posting historical and nonfiction articles, but I am migrating those into tidbits at the end of the fiction based on that week's theme. I have realized over the past few months of writing that I prefer to focus on fiction within the modern era and the historical world of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, but I don’t want to vacate the factual and practical side altogether.
I will still post twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays in my various themes and settings.
Happy reading!
Twilight Tales
Whispers in the dark linger in the air - is it friend or foe?
This is where my love of the mysterious, and perhaps a bit darker, gets to be explored. You'll find yourself caught in the romance of the Victorian era, when seances and spiritualism were in vogue. These stories may have you glimpsing spectral figures in the gaslight and wondering if that mist in the dark distance is friendly or means harm.
A raven 🐦⬛ indicates a scarier tale. A magnifying glass 🔎is a true encounter.
