It’s Election Day with critical races in several states. This is the first general election where voters get to tell Donald Trump what they think of him so far. Don’t miss your chance to make your voice heard! Vote like your country depends on it. Because it does.

Desperately needed a pick-me-up, so I made a playlist for my new historical novel, The Miniaturist's Assistant. Songs inspired by and/or vibe with the novel: time travel, art, soul, early 2000s/early 1800s, Charleston, SC, love across centuries. open.spotify.com/playlist/776... #playlist #booksky

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
