I wasn't sure that this book would enter the world. To make it happen, I had to be all things people hate women to be. Assertive (aggressive, pushy). Persistent (whiny, complainy). Ambitious, hungry (greedy, unsatisfied). (A regular bitch.) Onward. I have more writing to do and more people to annoy.

SCAM ALERT
Sadly, Richard Powers doesn’t want to be my pen pal, but I’m considering being the pen pal of this scammer because they know just what to say to a girl.

My good-natured publicist, @iammblankenship.bsky.social, and me taking deep breaths when we realized it's only three months to pub date for A Complete Fiction. "It's going to be all right," she said, doubtfully. @igpublishing.bsky.social

Bright and sunny with highs in the thirties. The kind of day when the elusive snow people like to gather though I caught this group earlier in the year. #colorado

It's never an easy road getting to this place. This book received a lot of rejections until I took it back and rewrote it. I'm a better writer for it and the book is a better book. Comes out Nov. 4 of this year. I hope you all like it.

Hope springs eternal. I didn't put on my fuzzy pants (lined pants that weigh about 50 pounds) today, then checked the weather. Still 🥶 10 degrees.
