Writer of words, knitter of yarn. Owned by two adorable cats. Slightly steamy, slightly sweet historical romance.
Pinned
Since I’ve gained a number of new followers, I should introduce myself again. I write Regency Romance, with 🫑 spice. I love research rabbit holes, usually for history or films/television. Casablanca is my comfort film, and I always have some knitting project on my needles. And I read. A lot.

My Novel November project has decided not only are my leads in a romantic suspense, which is *not* what I set out to write, there is a sinkhole in the middle of the plot big enough the city council may have to pass a special appropriations measure to fix it. :: sigh ::

Antifa, 1925. (Read the whole post.)
Nov. 11, 1925: Masked Ku Klux Klansmen march in an Armistice Day parade in Red Bank, N.J., protected by an escort of over 100 police. “Many of the spectators made it a point not to raise their hats when American flags carried by Klansmen went by,” a wire report notes.

Today we remember my husband's great-uncle, who served as an ambulance driver in WWI. Awarded the Belgian Croix de Guerre for the number of men he pulled off the field and got back to hospital alive, he did not speak of what he saw in those days.

“Speaker Johnson, many Americans are wondering why you’re unable to see or hear any developments in the news. Some are speculating that you were kicked in the head by a horse; others theorize that you’ve been huffing spray paint. Which is it?”

So Johnson is not really a Republican, but a member of the Know Nothing party.
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

Just closed both of my Linkedin accounts. The spur was notice of an extended in-law’s birthday whom I’ve blocked everywhere else. I’d “connected” with him when I’d created the account because to do otherwise would have caused grief with the late f-i-l I didn’t need.

And because I did promo, and it is #nationalcatday, here is my cat tax. Our wonderful Gimli, son of Miss Timmy. The only orange tabby in his litter, he's a bit of a chonk at 16 pounds, most of which is muscle.

Nothing more fun than opening the Vellum file you spent, oh, an hour and a half on yesterday, and realizing you forgot to save before you quit.

From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

I've been digging into family genealogy via Ancestry. This is setting a basic family tree as far back as we can and finding links for more serious research.

Have discovered I had an ancestor murdered by his wife in 1600, so that's one point where I definitely need to do more research.

And let history sound the alarm of how
The future demands that we fight for it now
It will only be ours if we keep marching

There was a museum who did a demo of an antique card printer. When they finished, the card read, “We’ve been trying to contact you about your extended car warranty.”

I wish I could find that video again.
It won't be long till only old people like us get this joke.
It's brilliant.
