Skype has just automatically pulled an annual renewal fee out of my paypal account, two months before they shut down. I am so fed up with corporations.

Germany has issued a travel warning for trans and nonbinary people going to the USA. It's a sad day for this British-German enby. I have close friends in the US. My publisher is based there. My books are in dozens of US libraries and have been taught in US colleges. And I'm no longer welcome.

maybe i'm missing something, but I am struggling to understand how staff shortages can be blamed on "diversity."

WTF just happened today? ⚡️ Day 1463: "An ongoing threat."

Let's see, what else is a first: first convicted felon to be inaugurated. First to lead an insurrection to be inaugurated. Come on journos, this ain't 1974.

Sherri L. Smith and I are so grateful to our fellow authors for taking the time to read and review American Wings in advance - this next wonderful endorsement is from the award-winning Candace Fleming. @rhymeswithcapri.bsky.social #americanwingsbook
