We’ll Be Back!

Four months and nearly a hundred episodes ago, we began telling Muriel’s story. Sharing her remarkable life with you has been a fun and rewarding experience filled with many pleasant surprises and adventures.  Your response had been wonderful and Muriel would be thrilled to know that she has fans from over 30 countries.

Jazz Age Diva has also been a challenge, as organizing and presenting the thousands of Muriel’s pictures, clippings, diaries, and stories (and those of her dozens of famous friends) in an entertaining way is no small task.

To ensure we tell the rest of Muriel’s story properly, we need to take a break, get caught up and change a few things around, so please be patient with us as we get ready for the next chapter in this journey.  We know we are leaving you hanging just as things are getting exciting, but we have a sincere desire to do this right.  We owe that to our readers, to ourselves and to Muriel.

As is often the case, just as you plan things in life, the universe speaks up and says, “Oh wait, that is really not the way it’s going to go at all!” Work and family and life often have other plans.  It is certainly true that the journey with this blog and telling Muriel’s story has not taken a simple path.

If you would like to send us a note at jazzagediva@aol.com, we will e-mail you the exact date when we begin telling Part 2 of Muriel’s story – her exciting and crazy 1920s Paris years. Or if you subscribe to our RSS feed you will be notified when new posts are up. If this is your first time at Jazz Age Diva, this is a good chance to get caught up by checking our archives not only in “Muriel’s Story” but in the family and other archives as well.

And just so you know that coming back will be worth it, here’s a bit of what you have to look forward to!

• You’ll find out why Scott Fitzgerald was reading Muriel’s diary!
• Muriel and Bob are invited to the south of France to live and party like rock stars.
• Muriel and Bob are faced with a life altering decision.
• Road trip! With all the fun and excitement of meeting new people and discovering new places!
• And there is shall we say, a royal or two who befriend Muriel and Bob and give them a glimpse into the life few of us can imagine

Muriel’s story is just getting started!

So thanks to all our loyal fans and please be patient.  We’ll be back soon ~ better than ever.
