Republicans. The time is now.
Are there any Republicans left who are uncomfortable with the idea of being on the same side as the fascists and Putin vs. the democratic free world? If so, they better speak up now or live forever in infamy.

We’ve had snow, ice, and rain in the first two weeks of my book tour but the light keeps shining in. Ask for Dancing Woman at your local bookseller or order it from Bookshop.org

That’s my novel, #DancingWoman, in the window at #McIntyre’sBooks. It pairs well with a plush Valentine pillow. @blairpub.bsky.social

Had a great time last night at the Quail Ridge Books launch for Elaine Neil Orr’s DANCING WOMAN. I can’t wait to read this story about a woman torn between two men and two cultures, struggling to find her passion and her purpose. @elaineneilorr.bsky.social @quailridgebooks.bsky.social

What I’m reading on MLK day. @angelajacksonbrown.bsky.social ’s new novel, #Untethered, set during the #CivilRightsEra. One woman is trying to make a difference while keeping herself whole. Isn’t that what we must all do?

This Wednesday, warm up with Dancing Woman set in northern Nigeria. A woman is looking for herself amidst cultural, personal, and political unrest. This is a quintessential story but surprisingly told.
Come out to @quailridgebooks.bsky.social on Wednesday, 1/22, at 7 pm for the launch of DANCING WOMAN by @elaineneilorr.bsky.social! Elaine will be joined in conversation by David Payne. Be sure to reserve your seat and signed book!
