I will be on hiatus over here for awhile - I don't know how long, but I thought it might be a good idea to let you know. I thought that I could research a historical mystery AND write/research history posts, but guess what: it isn't that easy, and they don't reinforce each other quite the way I had envisioned.
I am not closing VDM and I'm sure I'll be posting once in awhile. I just don't really know how often, that's all...And if I decide that fiction is not for me, I will be back a lot more, working on the non-fiction book that I hope lurks somewhere in some of the longer posts here (I still want to write that Victorian NYC true-crime book, just not this year).
There is plenty to read if you do visit VDM - 600+ posts over the last 2 years (another reason for a break, BTW). I'll try and make them more accessible through sidebar widgets and lists. And I am still going strong over at Kitchen Retro. That one is always fun and easy to write, off the top of my head - and I hope you will visit me over there.
I won't say goodbye because - well, that's not what this is. It's sort of like my blog is going to a spa for awhile while I do some other work (lucky old blog!). Cheers, and see you over at Kitchen Retro, I hope :)

I still love reading Kitchen Retro and I totally understand and sympathise with your reasons for putting the virtual dime museum on hiatus. But:
