One of the greatest perks for a reader is having a character relive that childhood trauma... but this time see it finally be resolved, dealt with, and moved on from through the love of a partner who cares what the love of their life has gone through enough to see them through it to the other side.

Thank you. 💖 I've started on the pain management protocol since the opioid problem it's necessary to get anything really strong (& helpful). It's glorified aspirin but at least stronger than OTC, which I'm eating like candy. Add PT & back brace - it will be dealt with; have to get to that point.

I'm at level 10 which is considered by the docs here in the USA as max. Their scale doesn't go higher, believe me. Mine does. I'm surviving. It's the frustration of going from walking normally but slowly I am after all old. To needing a cane and crawling down the halls in 2 days. Weird.

I should, but I have so many arcs due right now that I'll pick it up when it releases. But thanks for the offer. Just discovered I have a compression fracture of the spine, I'm barely getting those arcs read in time! So, I'll wait for now. But I want that one when it is released 😘

Ohhhhh. Why is there not an emote for "grabby hands"? Yes, that's on my list, well, actually, your books are on my auto-buy list anyway. But yeah, can't wait to read that one! 💖📚 *grabby hands-give it to me* :)

Maybe since I'm not an author, I don't see that owl quite the same way. But, writing up a blog post review that just isn't saying what I mean it to say without spoilers... oh, yeah. I can relate. 💖📚

That's so pretty.💖

Love it. Thunder had the bra as well, though. 😆

Oh, adorable. And he reminds me of my Sam. Loved that persnickety, stubborn cat!💖🐱

I've had 2 black cats, Sam & Thunder. Sam was pure black except for a barely there white-haired necklace. Thunder was long-haired, pure black when viewed from above - if he flipped on his back, he had perfectly formed patches of white hair in the (I kid you not) white bikini on his underside. :)

Looking forward to this one! 💖📚

Oh, my goodness. You have an amazing talent, so lovely and lifelike!

Thank you. He is now forever in my heart, kind of a level that other cats have to, unfortunately, rise to in a way. Perhaps unkind to those future cats, but totally in the fashion of keeping the best cat ever in my heart. 💖 I'm sorry, too, for your loss. Never replaced, never forgotten.

Definitely on my to-buy list now. 💖📚

Our 21-year-old good boy, Charlie, left us a couple of years ago, and there isn't a day that something doesn't remind me of his cuddles or his shenanigans. They wrap themselves around our hearts and never, ever let go.💖🐱

It's great to be here finally. I just kept putting it on the backburner to get to one day... today was that day! 😉
