I've been quiet on social media for several years because life suddenly got complicated. I've hit the Reset button, and day by day, I'm working to refocus on activities I enjoy, especially writing and sharing insights on writing, editing and publishing that I've gleaned over many years.

US consumers should plan on tariffed products to cost 40% more off the shelf--the 25% tariff plus the inevitable markup at both the wholesale and retail level. Inflation will skyrocket.
very excited to see what happens to grocery prices when we impose large tariffs on our two largest agricultural trading partners
This is going to be an absolute mess y’all.

Writing isn’t just putting words on a page—it’s wrestling with ideas, taming chaos, and finding clarity in the mess. Every draft feels like a battle, but in the end, it’s worth every struggle.

I grew up on my grandma's Avon #romance & transitioned to "bodice rippers" by the time I was 13, right along with V.C. Andrews. I was -always- going to write a #Regency. The first in the series is now just $0.99! #AgeGap #Widow #Rake #Duke, a little #Mystery, & definite #HEA

I actually love being part of anthologies. Hope I can be featured in more!
I’m in four anthologies so far this year. Here’s feedback on a near-future sci-fi one. Now it goes to some scientists for review.

It's my pleasure. FYI, my plans for the weekend include being prepared for another round of query letters. Thought I would mention it. I was impressed to see your name on some versions of Strunk and White.

I'm not sure if I was #200 or not! But it's great to connect with you here on Bluesky.
Ahhhh we passed 200 followers on Bsky when I wasn’t looking. Was that you @writer2.bsky.social ? If so that would make you the winner for the book giveaway, if you like dystopian scifi aimed at YA that is :) also this means I have to fix @lexfori.bsky.social ‘s book today.
