The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Went to Tahlequah, Oklahoma last evening and was pleasantly surprised to find this quaint little bookstore and a pride flag flying at the pizza restaurant we ate at. 🏳️‍🌈

Did you know my aunt was the first female reporter allowed to interview jockeys at the Kentucky Derby? This was also the same year the first woman jockey raced there. Badasses, both of them.

Long days with babies
Hasten into shrinking years
Time, a lovely thief

You can’t be both a terrible human being and a good President. It’s just not possible.

Never thought when I started this dystopian novel 10 years ago that I'd be able to draw from real life fascism as I work on it again now.

Hello Bluesky, it's been a minute. I've been trying to do less social media (with variable success). But if there's any group of people I want to hang out with online, it's writers. Oh, and I have a new Substack out. :-)

When you’ve always had a complicated relationship with your mom, Mother’s Day just feels weird.

I’m so sad that I could only dole out money to buy one book on Independent Bookstore Day but I suppose one is better than none!
