-Buckeye by Patrick Ryan slashed to $2.99 on Amazon 😥-
Wounds my writer's heart to see a work of this caliber already in the bargain bins. Not even six months since its release-and after being named Amazon's #1 Book of the Year. A stark indictment of a system undervaluing authors' work.

Amazon is adding an AI feature called "Ask This Book" so you can chat with your Kindle while reading. Because if there's one thing we want while trying to get lost in a story, it's a distraction built right into the page. 🙄

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.
"We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,"
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

Finished crafting my query for a 1966 historical novel, only to find she had switched from "open" to "referrals only" sometime in the last 24-hours.

Had to cut a beautifully crafted description of a character using a payphone because in 1966 he wouldn't have dropped a dime for a long-distance call, but rather would have simply dialed "0."
At least I didn't write iPhone.

I just destroyed this chapter like a bad building being demolished by a wrecking ball. Half the words gone. Different point of view. I don't even know if it belongs in this book anymore, but it's good editing.
