I love to read. I especially enjoy history. Author of HEYERWOOD: A Novel and A RATIONAL ATTACHMENT, both set in the Regency era. Closed door romance. Currently working on a non-fiction book about 7 women.
Perfect morning for today's walk-cool, sunny, clear blue sky. You'd never know we were in the middle of town.

Autumn color in Florida on today's walk. A cold front's coming-I might even get to wear a sweater!

America’s Future Is Hungary
MAGA conservatives love Viktor Orbán. But he’s left his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

On the @WordWenches blog today Susan is talking about #witches and #witchcraft with some gorgeous paintings as illustrations! Are you a fan of witchiness in fiction, nonfiction or movies? Any recommendations?

Ron DeSantis says people under 50 don't need preventive care. All they need are HSA's & catastrophic coverage. That also includes children. This, from a man who has coverage for himself & family through the military & state gov. floridapolitics.com/archives/761...
Ron DeSantis says people under 50 don’t have much use for comprehensive health insurance
'Catastrophic care' should be enough for them.
