All the infamous Juni-Q wanted was to be a movie producer and get her film distributed, but a rich and powerful stalker who gets her into the Mariposa Film Festival may be luring her to her doom...

Sequel to Juni-Q and the Secrecy of Desire

Getting several of these a day now. Clearly the scammers have snagged Juni-Q without purchasing it (trust me, I know my sales figures) and fed it into their AI, which is good at this kind of empty fluffery.

Now if only I could get a new review from a real human on Amazon or Goodreads...

By then my son will probably be out of the house, so I'll have room:)

Someday, I'll have enough disposable cash that I'll buy the Millennium Falcon and AT-AT Lego sets.

Again, not really wrong about Juni-Q, but still AI-generated spam.

The Oppenheimer backlash is a little tired.

They look at me like I knocked on their door.

Just staring at me in Gen Alpha. I stare back.

Finally, I ask, "What do you say?"

I don't intend to be a sonovabitch, but you're gonna have to say, "Trick or treat!" to get candy. Those are actually the rules.

For #FunPageFriday, from my Marx Brothers homage Poppycock: the cosmic trio meet the POTUS.

Not that far from reality, I admit.

My friend just finished his incredible four-part series on Siouxsie and the Banshees on Substack. Absolutely worth reading and exploring this legendary band. I was a fan of their hits but this inspired me to listen to their entire discography. Epic.
