Most of what I've accomplished this morning is a blog post & 400K in PokemonGo (I'm trying to hit 276m before the new levels kick in, but I've got another 13m to go & just not enough time), & now I'm going to 100 Things the synopsis for BONE & BLOOD, out in February!

www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXFPLQW...

The staggeringly fabulous cover for CE Murphy's upcoming BONE & BLOOD, a retelling of "Snow White, Rose Red" features two women standing back to back: one is garbed all in blood red, with dark red hair and a black mask; the other wears flowing white, with wheat-pale hair and a glittering mask. Cover art & design by Ravven. Preorder at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXFPLQWY/?tag=mizkit-20

Everybody takes pot shots at Soros. Even the show Homeland did. There was a bomb threat against his house uptown.

I worked for him for five years. It’s nothing like antisemitic propaganda makes it sound.

His funding uplifts and empowers people with real needs and that scares leaders everywhere.
