I wish. Unfortunately, at this time, I am just published through Amazon.

I'm researching other options. I hope to have them available through my website.

Tanya Packer @tanyapacker.bsky.social · 3d

I can't believe how fast time is flying!

Pssst, I know it's spooky season, but did you know there's only 64 sleeps until Christmas?

Have you started shopping?

Anyone who cares about #reading #books #libraries needs to watch this documentary. It should be mainstream. It's scary and here in #UK we need to be alert to #censorship

BBC Four - Storyville, The Librarians

Documentary about the US librarians who are risking their safety to defend free speech.

I love having my son home! Last night we watched Here We Go Again! Mama Mia two!

Bane was being silly! The cats were trying to make me feel better by snuggling and purring.

Ryk was at band rehearsal.

My leg screamed, but my heart was full.

I am so incredibly grateful for Ryk and Bane.
The growth has been removed, and now we wait to hear the results.

Unfortunately, the doctor missed freezing one side.... 😕 I am not sure which was worse the cutting on that side or the digging 🤔
