I suppose you're expecting a writer's first post to be witty, or profound.
Might happen later.
Right now, I'm learning a new SM format, so please be patient with me.
In the meantime, this pic of me sums up today: trying to write, and wondering where's the tea gone?

This year I had the opportunity to add A Fey Tale to a book-buyers Christmas Guide, which focuses on books set in 1920s (some set 1910-1930s). Genres include murder mysteries, fantasy, romance.
If you love the 1920s this Guide was made for you.
