The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden as part of their sweeping book ban efforts. One of the titles removed? Freckleface Strawberry, a children’s book about self-acceptance. Seriously, who gets offended by that?

I had the great pleasure of answering some questions for author and blogger, Meredith Rankin. Check it out and leave a comment! meredithrankin.substack.com/p/meet-lynda...
I enjoyed the variety of questions and delving into some I haven’t been asked before, like how I learned to solder!

About a month and - almost - a fortnight late, I finally managed to write my review for:
Lynda Allen @lyndaallen.bsky.social: Flashes of a Dying Hour, 5⭐
Great cosy mystery with wonderful characters and humour. It also has Poe.
I enjoyed it very much!

Lacrima Mundi's review of Flashes of a Dying Hour (Liv Wilde Mysteries #2)
5/5: This story has been absolutely amazing! I love Liv, her Grumpy Gal persona, and her gang already to bits from the first book, but now we also get one of my favourite authors featuring in this on...

Thank you, @lacrimamundi.bsky.social! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Liv and her friends are fun to write!
I've read it, only haven't got around to writing a review yet.
But, it has been great!
Loved the 1st book, Flashes of Insight, and this one has been equally great. An intriguing mystery with a great MC (I really like Liv and her gang), who's not a 20-something. More please!
Go check it out

What if menopause gave you a superpower in the form of psychic visions during hot flashes?

Mood swings & insomnia are one thing, hot flash-induced psychic visions are quite another.

If you haven't read Flashes of Insight yet, why not order the audiobook? Then you can listen to book 1 while you read book 2, Flashes of a Dying Hour! 😂
