Just in time for AWP, The Writer's Chronicle was so kind as to run an excerpt of my forthcoming novel.
This is the second time I've worked with
@jamestatehill.bsky.social at TWC & he is a tireless champion for writers.
If you'll be in #Baltimore, come say hi at booth 527 @sfwp.bsky.social

Image of the novel The Last Supper with blurb from Mo Daviau. "In The Last Supper, a woman's conventional path-marriage, motherhood, big plans to become a parenting influencer-takes a turn from the perfect life she envisioned for herself. Wendy J. Fox masterfully makes the ordinary extraordinary in this compelling and heartfelt novel. I rooted so hard for Amanda. A relatable story, beautifully told." - Mo Daviau, author of Epic and Lovely and Every Anxious Wave
They say blurbs are dead (more about that below for non-industry watchers)!
But, it's still nice to get a blurb.

But the key issue is equity. We know the NBA is bigger and pulls in more money. Yet, WNBA players take home only 9 percent of league income, while NBA players pocket up to 51 percent.
Yet, viewership of WNBA games is up by 23 percent, and in-person ticket sales have increased by 26 percent, compared to the prior season.
For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

Notice how the the brand color is yellow. Coincidence?!
I reviewed The Mel Robbins for Podcast Review (which is a thing I do) — and wow did this one stick in my craw.
Celebs are not really my focus area, but I think what really drove me bananas is how immensely popular this podcast is, when it ultimately says basically nothing.

I took a change & it changed my writing life. 10/10 recommend.
