Writing was going great guns & now I’m down with an upper respiratory, sinus, & ear infection. Maybe I was pushing too hard, but I was so close to finishing the book. I’m still learning how to balance long covid & my writing.

“What are you doing Friday night?” I asked.
“Whatever you tell me to do.” The line dripped with the kind of innuendo they invented the Hays code for.

When inspiration comes knocking always answer even if it’s 5:00 AM & pitch dark outside. Sometimes especially then, because that means the book is at a white, hot heat. If you go back to sleep the creative flames will cool & hours later it’s just ashes. The muse fled & the writer left in the dust.

The writing is red hot, at last. Dinner last night I started to wash my hands. Realized they were clean that the dirt & blood I was certain was on my hands was in the scene I was writing, not real life. When the line between imagination & reality blurs this hard it’s magic.

To my fellow Sherlock Holmes fans - have I missed it in the stories or do we not get any mention of extended family for Dr. Watson? Yes he gets married, but I can’t seem to find any mention of parents or siblings. Is that correct?

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.
When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them

Took the weekend off to spend time with my husband. Theme was books so we hit the library and a used bookstore we’d never visited. Relaxing and great bonding for two bookworms. Then he had gaming scheduled so I went to my office. Finished first big edits on the current book on my desk.

The movie HEADS OF STATE with Idris Elba and John Cena is a rollicking action packed romp. We laughed out loud a lot.

Freedom! I finished the second round of edits for the new Merry Gentry book at 2:00 AM. It’s off to my editor in New York and now I can sleep.

Sorry, I haven’t been posting, but I’m knee deep in the second round of Merry Gentry edits. I find that online splits my focus too much right now, so I’ll see you on the other side of the creative divide.

@laurellkhamilton.bsky.social I’m rereading “Affliction”. I love this book because I vibe with it so hard as a woman that served in the military and as a police officer.

"His hand hung there, pale and slender. There was no tremor to the fingers, no movement, as if he could stand there offering me his hand forever. And maybe he could."
The patience, even stretched thin, that this man has... So sexy.

2025 Book 39: Divine Misdemeanours by @laurellkhamilton.bsky.social
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can see why the series is making a comeback… she was about a decade ahead of the fairy-smut curve😆
I think I’ll stop for now, and hold off on book 9 (A Shiver of Light) until closer to book 10 release date (2026?)

Signed up for Covid booster, but when we arrived for our appointment the place was closed. Sign said they closed 2 hours before our scheduled time. Anyone else having trouble getting boosters?

Anita’s love of coffee is part of her character & an homage to hard boiled detectives which is part of her literary heritage. Just as my character, Zaniel Havelock prefers tea because he’s 6’3” & the epitome of what most people think hard boiled detectives are, so I want against type.
Is that why Anita always has a coffee? I swear, coffee is its own scene sometimes.
