Note: If you're still looking for holiday gifts for loved ones, buy books. You can also buy books for people you hate. The authors will not mind.

North Carolina’s descent in one-party rule today deserves as much attention as Mike Johnson’s past. We’re talking about a state of 11 million suddenly having an election-proof GOP government.

Writing has been hard lately. For instance, every time I type my main character's name I type Alive instead of Alice. Tbh, I'm tickled by the idea of naming a character Alive. Good idea or great idea?
