Red light district, Leadville, Colorado

Silver got her first taste of drink and parties while still in Leadville. It was here she started a relationship with the much older stable owner which caused her mother to send her to Denver. In Denver Silver pursued a writing career, applying to various newspapers. She finally got a job but spent most of her time covering society events. For a short time after this job she started her own gazette. She also wrote a novel, "Star of Blood" which her mother helped her publish. She took the novel around to reviewers and publishers hoping to get noticed. The only reviews the book got were due to her name and the noteriety of her parent's past history. She was seen as a novelty act, not to be taken seriously.
