For National Fountain Pen Day, my favorite is a Sheaffer Tuckaway in carmine red striated celluloid (circa 1940–44). I have hundreds of vintage fountain pens that I've restored, but I'm especially fond of Sheaffers. Isn't she a beauty? Writes like a dream!

Saw this sobering exhibit today. The importance of art and culture in society cannot be overstated. History can't be ignored, lest the past become prologue.

Months after we lost Forrest, Winston has adopted Forrest's bed over his own. We put the bed on the table to finally put it away and Mr. Man hopped right in and made himself at home. This makes my heart smile. #HappyCaturday, all!😻

A dash of 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘢, a pinch of 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴, and a drop of morally gray. A sultry spy falls for her assignment in this epic WWII love story. If you enjoy classic Old Hollywood films and stories with forbidden love, twists, turns, angst, and redemption, the Shadow series is for you! amzn.to/3icwd98

Sixteen years ago, this handsome dude showed up brimming with cat-distribution-system bravado and stayed. With heavy hearts, we said goodbye to him yesterday.

R.I.P. Buddy, aka Mr. GrungeBucket, King of all he surveyed.

Thanks for choosing us, pal. Love you forever, you handsome so-and-so, you. 😻

When things start going sideways, it's hard to know how to help. #BannedBooksWeek reminds us that our voices can be silenced at any time. Here are a few tips on how we can support authors and keep those voices loud and accessible. Representation matters. Always. 🫶

Our voices ALWAYS matter, but #BannedBooksWeek is a good time to point out that representation saves lives. Erasure is the goal. Nuts to that. I'm going to keep writing my sapphic stories and shouting about them. Anything you can do to amplify our voices helps us all. 🫶

I stand with Golden Crown Literary Society and the Sapphic Action Support Squad to support those working to ensure books remain accessible. It goes without saying that this applies not only during #BannedBooksWeek but every day. Please like and share to show your support!🫶
