#WritingCommunity people out there, I have an aquaintance who has written a series of very funny short stories somewhat like Garrison Kellior's LAKE WOEBEGON book. Are there agents looking for that sort of thing? I know nothing about the short story collection market.

My #JaneAusten -inspired #romcom is now available in hardcover as well as paperback & ebook. Link in the comments. Just for info-it's not a hardcover with a sleeve. The cover is printed on the binding itself. New trend? I don't know! Still working on a large print paperback edition #WritingCommunity

The weather forecast today called for exactly five clouds. I thought that seemed weirdly specific but here they are! Postcard from my collection, mailed 1907.

Yes, I learned to grout tile, and no, I will not be doing it again. Not fun, though it turned out well. (My husband is responsible for that)

If you are looking for something fun and escapist to read this weekend, check out my #JaneAusten - inspired contemporary #romcom, availabe as an ebook, paperback and #KindleUnlimited. One reviewer on the Blue site called it a 'delightful read' :).

I also on @librarything.com have reviewed Pride and Pemberley by @deegarretson.bsky.social which I found to be a delightful read. I got a copy through the @librarything.com Early Reviewer Program.

Seven Sins Resort & Casino OK, it’s really Beetlejuice but with sapphic witches, a haunted Florida island resort, mean mommies, and coven politics. Oh and a Hispanic FMC 🔮. Pls enjoy my terrible book trailer—hand drawn and everything. #Unhingedpit #Q #A #F #Sapphic #H

#UnhingedPit Why not a #JaneAusten mashup of characters? Why not Lady Bertram as a ghost? available now in ebook, paperback and #KindleUnlimited #romcom #r #romance PRIDE AND PEMBERLEY

I am open for editorial consulting work--if you've been querying manuscripts and aren't getting interest, but don't know why, or are otherwise stuck, I may be able to help! Information here: www.underdown.org/pced.htm Happy to answer questions here or by email (there's a link.)

@authorrhysbowen.bsky.social I'm assuming the person using your name on Twitter is an imposter since I didn't see Twitter listed on your website. They are using the name @RhysBowen there. Twitter has been inundated with fake author profiles the last several months.

Me purposefully descending back into the primordial ooze to get a moment of peace.

Why read Jane Austen? I'm indulging in my love of all things Austen Link to post in comments. #JaneAusten

Self-publishing isn't for the fainthearted. I'm keeping careful track of my expenses, and I'm 1/4 of the way to breaking even. The book has been out 3 weeks. I'd like to get to the halfway payoff point at one month. :) #WritingCommunity #JaneAusten #romcom

A cheetah would be nice too

Does anybody know author Linda Sue Park? It looks like her Facebook account has been hacked and the impersonator is contacting newbie authors, probably with the ultimate goal of scamming money from them. Her website doesn’t have a great way to contact her.

Why yes. I needed to review when to use 'awhile' versus 'a while' because I start to doubt myself when editing. www.masterclass.com/articles/awh...

The IGs fire back. Trump might eventually get his way...but don't make it easy for him. Don't let him circumvent a single law. Challenge every amoral, unethical, unconstitutional action. Fight him tooth and nail every step of the way.

Working on my historical fiction bookcover and double-checking dates. Not every landmark in Paris was in existance when the book is set, 1878 Eiffel Tower - built 1887-1880 Alexander III Bridge - built 1896-1900

It is a bit annoying that this site is just as full of fake widowers as Facebook. I guess I should put in my bio that I'm a liberal crazy cat lady who is also married. Maybe that will deter them.

I'm realizing if I'm going to republish my historical mystery & do it right, it's going to take a lot of time & effort. I'm going ahead though, because I believe in the story. It made it to the quarterfinals of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award competition 2014, so top 500 out of 10000 #amediting
