US friends! FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL DIRECTOR (by me, as Hazel Graves) is 99c in ebook all month!

It's Freaky Friday x Six Feet Under x Legally Blonde and probably the funniest thing I've written :)

A Jack Russell flopped on a couch with his legs dangling. Nearby is a laptop with an "eat the rich" hungry caterpillar sticker on it, and some enormous cushions

without editors my books would take place all on one day, and also somehow a week before that day

(which is fine for my time travel WIP, but not the others)

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Made lots of online and IRL friends. Stayed in touch with friends and family back home. Landed numerous book projects - seriously, have probably sold 6 or 7 books thanks to leads I've seen on the socials. Enjoyed looking at books, films, pets, art, food, lovely landscapes. Thanks, friends!

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

my best friend’s baby shower request was books instead of cards to build up a library and that’s one of the many reasons I love her.
