I’m a retired math teacher who now writes—mostly short stories. I live in a very red part of a purple state. I’m currently jazzed because I can write π on my iPhone. Also, I knit.
I’m excited. I won an ARC of Penny Reid’s TRUTH or BEARD. It has maps and character pictures and playlists and a great story!

A mystery no more. Just for You #11 designed by Laura Aylor is a lovely cowl and fingerless glove set. It’s nice and squishy and very warm.

In a complete plot twist, we were instructed to bind off today. Yet, we have four clues to go. As you can see, I had the old guy model it as a cowl. This could be a red herring.
