Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

In case anyone’s curious, that one 99c ebook you bought is 1/3 of a coffee for you and 100% a day made for an author. It truly does mean the world to us, no matter how small the sale. Just knowing our words are out there being read is an amazing feeling. Thank you, dear readers 🫶

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something...

My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

Happy Juneteenth, to those who celebrate.

Double Happy Juneteenth to those who don't.

Good morning. 🙂

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Black people created Black History Month, and bigoted White people are trying to cancel it. This pretty much outlines the Black experience in America for me: Black people built it, and racism attempts to tear it down — trust me, you can keep trying; we are not going anywhere. ✊🏾

Don't beat yourself up about how long you've been away from your writing practice.

The important thing is to go back.

Tonight, why not read the last pages you wrote?

Worried and in disbelief. I live in Encino and my heart is in my stomach. Sending prayers and hugs to ALL who have been impacted. From Altadena to Pacific Palisades. #lafires #heartbreaking #staystrongfam

Every day is more surreal. We live east of Los Angeles County, away from the fires (fingers crossed) - but the photos and footage look like war.

I’m a writer and I have no words.

Sending love to anyone near the path of the flames - and those who have already suffered losses.

President Biden appointing 61 Black LIFETIME judges during his time in office is a serious flex.

He understood the damn assignment.

Okay but hear me out:

A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.
