I’ve been taking a much needed social media break. So here’s an apology pup pic. I hope to be posting (in moderation) more writing news for you all. And if nothing else, there will be dogs.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
