Thanks for the shout-out @mgcobbett.bsky.social. Much appreciated!
Thanks, I joined 50 years ago.
No thank you.
Great news for my writer friends! Publishers Weekly has reported book publishers saw a 7% jump in sales for the first nine months of 2024. Full story below.

US consumers should plan on tariffed products to cost 40% more off the shelf--the 25% tariff plus the inevitable markup at both the wholesale and retail level. Inflation will skyrocket.
Yeah, my annoyance threshold lately is low it seems, so I've turned off DMs.
Thank you! 😊
I've been quiet on social media for several years because life suddenly got complicated. I've hit the Reset button, and day by day, I'm working to refocus on activities I enjoy, especially writing and sharing insights on writing, editing and publishing that I've gleaned over many years.
Writing isn’t just putting words on a page—it’s wrestling with ideas, taming chaos, and finding clarity in the mess. Every draft feels like a battle, but in the end, it’s worth every struggle.
Hey, likewise! ♒

Yes, please. #FollowFriday I'm a bit of an introverted extrovert. I mostly work & watch, but new sky, new efforts to spend time finding the people who inspire me. #writers #booksky #romancelandia #artists #music... yes, #creativepeople. #Sculpting, #photography (my 2nd passion), Let's see!
I grew up on my grandma's Avon #romance & transitioned to "bodice rippers" by the time I was 13, right along with V.C. Andrews. I was -always- going to write a #Regency. The first in the series is now just $0.99! #AgeGap #Widow #Rake #Duke, a little #Mystery, & definite #HEA

I actually love being part of anthologies. Hope I can be featured in more!
This magnificent anthology is out tomorrow...

Come on Barbie, let’s go write alien body horror!
I've got the best rebrand. Jendia is pronounced jen-DEE-a and is an old nickname combining my first two names. Gammon is my born surname. And this will be my author name for all future works after The Inn at the Amethyst Lantern. Check out my fabulous new site: https://jendiagammon.com

It's my pleasure. FYI, my plans for the weekend include being prepared for another round of query letters. Thought I would mention it. I was impressed to see your name on some versions of Strunk and White.

Thank you for clarifying. I'm relieved :-)
It's a small publishing company. Nothing horrendous or even offbeat is forthcoming. If you are unhappy with that use, the first invite I receive I will gift back to you, which should be in about a week, assuming users receive invite every two weeks.
