If there was one thing I learned this weekend, it was that I can happily live in a tiny house all by myself and do nothing but Books all day.

At a solo writing retreat this weekend to get a handle on the romantasy trilogy that has languished since last November. I feel like I have never written a book before in my life.

So many of us are absolutely desperate for a crumb of integrity in politics.

So, I got scammed out of several hundred dollars by a well-known artist in the book community. Today was a pretty rough day. I'm not the only person she ghosted. There were red flags I wasn't aware of - I saw people getting their art and thought she was legit. No way to get the money back, either.

An M/F royal marriage of convenience romance set in a modern, alternate UK where the Wars of the Roses never ended. Contains a genderqueer teenage court witch, lesbians in the House of Lords, bird auguries and a best friend fighting off the paparazzi with her flip flops www.amazon.com/dp/B06XBPDJPM

For my Victorian romance series in which the FMC is based on Catherine Walters, aka "Skittles," that there were no women who slept with men for money outside of marriage during that time period. Believe what you want, I guess, but this is very simple to fact check.

ITS THAT TIME AGAIN

What better way to celebrate the 4th of July than by getting a bunch of my novels, with a big chunk of your purchase price going to World Central Kitchen, my selected charity for this bundle. Pay what you like (the more you pay, the more you get), and help feed people in need all over the world.

As I embark upon Maternal Instinct, the true crime show on Netflix, I am again reminded that if I should meet a grisly unfortunate fate, I do not ever want to be described as a woman who lit up the room. First of all, that would be wrong.

the single biggest takeaway i have from this interview is that on top of being profoundly incompetent, bari weiss and her flunkies at CBS are genuinely terrible human beings. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

Rather than rubberneck at the inevitable implosion of the Platner campaign in Maine, I'd urge everyone to focus on another swing-state or even red-state Senate race that we might actually win. Ohio and Michigan are toss-ups and we have a fighting chance in Iowa, Texas and Alaska too.

A lot of us who lost jobs have given up searching. We can't get interviews. So no, everyone who wants a job cannot in fact find one, no matter how pretty your graph is. The data for everything impacting real people, not just airy stock market valuations, is in the gutter and has been, for ages.

Someone said this last night, but if you look in the threads about "vibescession" the main thing people are talking about is the constant precarity. So what would happen if one wage-earner in your house got cancer and couldn't work?
