I don't have the Scrivner template anymore. It was so very old and they have a whole new build now. But I followed you in case you ever want to DM me. I'm not very fluent in Bluesky.

This one is SO good. (Somehow I got lucky enough to always get first reads plus it usually involves food and stuff.)

It feels weird doing book promo now, but also with the government shutdown & my husband being furloughed, we need my income.

Worth noting: False Flag goes after #pseudoarchaeology, disinformation & using AI to rewrite history to fuel a white supremacist takeover of government.

I haven't had a website in a long time! I'm semi-retired, y'all. @nrlines.bsky.social DM me your email and I will see if I can find the pdf template on my drive.

Things become clearer when you figure out that the purported autism-fixing leucovorin (it doesn't work per actual science) is available at one of the biggest herbal companies, iHerb, which is -- here it comes and I know you're not surprised -- owned by...

Dr. Oz

All of this is just lies for grift.

Years of research have shown that acetaminophen is a safe and reliable treatment for fever and mild pain, including when used during pregnancy. We also reaffirm that vaccines remain a critical tool for protecting maternal and child health.

I thought Samhain Publishing filed copyrights on behalf of authors but I guess not. My Samhain books are not registered at Library of Congress. #booksky #romancelandia

And when not comeuppancing, I'm growing mutant tomatoes in my greenhouse. #Gardening

Picture of a scary tomato that looks like three tomatoes went through the transporter and reassembled into one entity upon arrival.

Gwen Hayes @gwenhayes.bsky.social · Sep 9

Much like Beetlejuice. I have been summoned. Not very active on the socials (this being my only one left) but as you can see, I am still active in villain comeuppance.

Today I'm meeting with the brilliant & wonderful @gwenhayes.bsky.social for a consultation on my WIP! She's going to help me decide who (in my book) needs to die. I'm focusing on pseudoarchaeology, disinformation, & white supremacy. My villains WILL suffer & pay.

Yes! I applied with the first step but didn't finish because I realized my tbr on Libby was already towering. LoL. Libraries are awesome.

Gwen Hayes @gwenhayes.bsky.social · Mar 1

Whoa. I just saw the SNL clip of Cher performing. She's 78! Amazing. I hope we all get to keep doing what we love at her age

Oh man. I had pneumonia last month and had to take two antibiotics. The cure was harder than the infection. I'm pretty sure I have a UTI right now but can't make myself go to Dr. I just can't do another round of that. Eat fermented food and be very good to yourself. Many hugs, friend.

Gwen Hayes @gwenhayes.bsky.social · Feb 28

Did you also know that you can add libraries to Libby? The Sno-Isle system was free for me as a WA resident even though I live in a different county. And other places let you pay a yearly fee. It really opened up my reading choices. Now the only thing I need Amazon for are KU indie authors.

As a not quite functioning fetus, I approve this message.

Jillian David @jilliandavid.bsky.social · Feb 26

Okay, what if--WHAT IF--we changed age descriptors to:

uterine fetus
non-crawling fetus
crawling fetus
elementary fetus
teenage fetus
pregnant fetus
adult fetus
elder fetus

Maybe then pro-fetus folks would protect, feed, provide healthcare for all fetuses

I mean they do seem to care abt fetuses 🤷‍♀️

The Home Depot in the next town over plays 80s heavy metal. Like Dokken and Judas Priest. It was very unnerving but also made me feel like a badass who could build anything.

Gross. Why do people use AI to reply on social media? It can't be faster than just typing.

Gwen Hayes @gwenhayes.bsky.social · Feb 23

Please don't use AI to reply to me. It's very obvious.
