I love Sequim. I recently stayed there because I was meeting with Gwen Hayes to plot my WIP. I stayed in this caboose overnight.

Whatever that praying means for you, get it done. That includes scientifically cheering for her wellbeing. Don’t fuss about it, just make good thoughts for a good woman.

This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

Today my furloughed husband went to a Japanese thrift store to give me the house to myself for a while so I could work on FALSE FLAG. He came home with this. I have regrets.

And I promise the villains will suffer. Democracy prevails. My hero and heroine will get a very satisfying HEA.

It feels weird doing book promo now, but also with the government shutdown & my husband being furloughed, we need my income.

Worth noting: False Flag goes after #pseudoarchaeology, disinformation & using AI to rewrite history to fuel a white supremacist takeover of government.

excerpt from book:
He held out his hand to the beautiful woman, deciding a do-over was his only shot. "I, um, I'm Jake. Lieutenant Jake Burns."
She didn't take his hand. Instead, her gaze swept down his length. "Oh, I remember you, Jacob. You were quite impressive. Until you opened your mouth."
Rand laughed. "That bad, huh?"
Jake shrugged. "Hey, all I hear is memorable and impressive."

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

After getting up at 5am to watch the Seahawks, there is no way I'll have energy to watch the Mariners today.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

Welker: They say the house is not in session because you don't want to swear in the newly elected democratic congresswoman who would be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein files.

Johnson: It's totally absurd. This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring.

I am regretting that choice right now.

With my husband on furlough we decided we might as well get up early and watch the Seahawks game live.

I love the frozen garlic and ginger! They have basil and cilantro too. Sadly, I can't get any in Okinawa. 😭 However they have a ton of other great ingredients. I have forbidden myself from buying more sauces until I've actually tried everything I have in the pantry already.
