I hope every citizen of Idaho makes them feel unwelcome- don't provide services, hotels, food, NOTHING.

I wish we had someone who could leak the real reports of trump's health. We're being lied to.

just what we need... more "alpha' misogynists...

Does ANYBODY have anything good to share? We NEED some happy! My brother came through well from his critical back surgery, and we're all happy about that. And that's all I got.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Muchado, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. She exemplifies-and lives- the principles of the prize. Congrats also to the committee for such an excellent, well-deserved, choice.

While I wait for news about brother's back surgery (& sitting here with a heating pad on mine), going to review story before sending it to critique group. Try to be kind today, even with the hateful & idiotic...

I got a full manuscript request for my holiday romance!! I subbed that baby within minutes of reading the email. Now I just have to wait- up to 30 days. What should I do? Write another book! #writingandbooks #readers

Oregonians should refuse meals, hotels, any kind of services to the National Guard and ice.

FYI: the @ustreasury.govmirrors.com is now complicit: They are breaking the law by issuing a coin with trump's puss on it (no living president or person permitted). REFUSE TO ACCEPT OR USE IT! Make them choke on it.

Great day at Collingswood Book Festival! Did a fantasy author panel, met other authors, talked and sold books! Perfect day for sitting outside!

Thrilled to find out that my pubs registered my 3 co-authored novels for US Copyright. That means I get in on the settlement. Multimillionaires making millions more, & it's 3,000 per title before agents & pubs get a cut? How is that fair?

Hollywood is raging about AI 'actress' Tilly Norwood replacing real actors. Yeah, we authors and illustrators were targeted first. Our works were stolen.

It's #friendlyFriday ! Don't have much happiness to offer with the sh*t show going on all over the world (and here in the US), but here's a pic of flowers from my summer garden. Chin up, elbows out as my Canadian friends say.

I'm so disappointed. Been thinking about Kentucky Fried Chicken... went today and it was soggy. I am heartbroken (so maybe buy my book and make me feel better). (photo by Mariana Silvestre: www.pexels.com/photo/fried-...
