I know the author...
Authors: So do you think a video of you opening the first box of books of your published novel (and posting it) is a bit corny? Asking for a friend...
Weather is awful and I'm staying in. Made a cappuccino. Having it in a bowl...like they do in Montreal. Very French.
It's the US, George. They have to look up words like Aphorism.

Thank you so much, June, for taking a moment. I really appreciate it. As you may know, those weeks prior to publication can be a bit disquieting. We're hoping for the best and dreading the worst.

My girl awaiting the storm.
I still have one.
The new president doesn't quite get it. And her henchman at the Board of Regents is all about the money. This is a political problem, not a financial one.

Well Paul...here's the thing. Your kind words & support kept me going through 2025 when I had all but abandoned hope of finding a publisher & began to think my writing was just obsolescent sentiment.

Congrats to you too, Jim! Being on the shortlist is HUGE!
Congratulations Ruth Taylor!
Congratulations to Ruth Taylor! Well done.
Crazy, wild-ass, windy day out there!
