No, Democrats don't "hate efficiency."
Democrats hate that there's an unelected South African seizing access to & control over government systems and citizens' private data,
all without appropriate oversight and with the full cooperation of Republicans. #stopthemnow

Hard to Get starts with a bang & brings a surprise to determinedly single Andi & new-to-town teacher Kevin.
Andi doesn't trust men or romantic relationships...but watch her try not to fall for this sweet golden retriever new guy.

Happy 2025, everyone!
Seemed like my first post of the new year should be about something worthwhile, so... here's acknowledging past trauma and our ability to work through it with help <3

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Well, I'm screwed, but at least my death at the kidnappers' hands will be well-reported (if a bit too heavy on the kidnappers' feelings for my taste).

I feel like I went through several months of labor on this one; "What She's Having" is the book of my heart. The main characters were at least partly inspired by wonderful people I have known in real life.
Welcome to the world, little one.
Now I need me some juice.

Excellent response to the unfortunately titled Bloomberg piece:
Photo from a Bloomberg article about RWA declaring bankruptcy; the original piece was badly titled "Romance Writers Group Goes Bankrupt After Diversit Fight Decimates Ranks." Photo shows a white hand reaching to pull a book from a store shelf labeled "Romance." Above the piece and its photo, social media poster Racheline Maltese corrected the claim, saying "A diversity fight didn't kill RWA, RWA's unwillingness to address systemic racism & homophobia in its contest, chapters, and national event did. Primo case of "If you let a couple of nazis drink in the corner of your bar, you now have a nazi bar.""

I write green flag guys because if there were enough of them in the world, so many women wouldn't have felt the need to say "bear."
