I love that he's named Hieronymus Bosch. A touch of class in a gritty world.

I'm concerned about when he does. Then Stephen Miller and the real Project 2025 will be in position to take over.

But not all mainstream media. Some of it has been pretty reliable and even courageous in speaking the truth, considering the intimidation and threats the media has been under.

Greetings from war ravaged Portland, where nothing is burning, no one seems to be rioting or looting, no wars or insurrections are happening, and people in their robes or PJs or cute animal costumes are offering Voodoo Donuts to ICE agents. Despite Noem's report, no hidden violence can be found.

I've been working with this excellent book by author and agent Donald Maass. Lots of fine exercises for helping writers put more emotion and subtext into their work. I highly recommend it!

Nobody🌍should ever be targeted because of their gender, religion, or race. Everyone deserves respect & dignity, regardless of their background or identity. Discrimination and prejudice have no place in a fair and just society. Instead, we should celebrate diversity. @UN @UN_HRC

RIP, Greg Iles. He was one of my favorite authors and a true inspiration to me. He made Natchez, MS come alive, and his Bone Tree trilogy is a modern epic. He'll be missed.

Neither Obama nor Biden has ever been accused of any crime, wrongdoing, or corruption until Donald Trump made up false accusations about them. In 1973 Donald Trump was convicted of housing discrimination and has been in legal trouble ever since.

This is a photo of international bestselling author Michael Connelly. He’s sat starring at the camera, wearing a loose grey shirt, looking serious - but cool.

He wears glasses, has a white bushy goatie beard and grey hair slicked back.

McGowan: He seems to be getting rid of statisticians and climate people and weather experts and scientists and anyone who doesn't agree with what he wants to tell or what he wants to say.

"This may be the worst piece of legislation ever written." And yet the Republican senators who criticized it still voted for it. It's likely to be political suicide for them, but they still voted for it. The autocratic oligarchy has arrived.

How long should your novel be? I like this guideline from Writers Digest. It uses ranges and gives a good indication of what's realistic. But always use the requirements of the specific agent or publisher you're querying.

I love Lisa Jewell, including The Night She Disappeared. I'll have to try AJ Finn. 🙂
