I am so deeply saddened with this news. I had the honor of being at Anne and Stuart’s wedding. It was honestly the most joyful wedding I’ve ever attended. It was sweet, charming, FUN, delicious (of course duh), and truly heartfelt. This loss really is so hard. Anne was an absolute light.

What a treasonous, hateful, pro-Russia, anti-democracy, thug ambush, abomination of an administration. 🤬 Absolutely DISGUSTING.

I just finished this sequel by TJ Klune. *chefs kiss*

I LOVED IT SO MUCH!
Feel good, chosen family, fantasy, pro love and LGBTQ, imaginative, I will totally read it again. I adore these characters and literally laugh out loud. All the feels. 📚💙

So… apropos of *waves hands around wildly* everything…I write the Art Deco Mystery series that takes place in the late 1930s in NYC. 💙📚 At their heart, they’re about the art, the grit, the sarcastic humor, and the beauty out of adversity that got New York thru the Depression.

What r u reading?

My golden retriever cat is happy to assist with any head butting that might help, cuddles and of course a dash of feline disdain if needed.

Well the Louis Vuitton Building that looks like AI BUT ISN’T (!!) really is so cool. Such an ingenious idea while they’re under construction.

So as a survivor, it’s killin me that it was *just that easy* for Americans to vote in a self-proclaimed and convicted predator to our highest office. Not even a big deal. 🤬 If you’re facing that and struggling, you’re not alone. A BUNCH of us in the #writingcommunity have your back- they had mine.🩷

After hours comforting and commiserating with friends all over the map, I made cookies bc like…I just don’t have anything else yet. So I highly recommend Pinot Grigio w the walnut chocolate chip cookies. 🩷

(And yes that’s ice- I’m from Detroit originally don’t @ me🤣🤷🏻‍♀️)
