How is it that I'm just hearing about "Cozy Fantasy" now? What a revelation! I've been trying to "shoe horn" my novelette into "Low Fantasy" and it's a perfect fit for 'Cozy'. Nothing even on Wikipedia! #booksky #cozyfantasy #stilllearning

This may seem obvious to some, but here's a tip based on recent conversations I've had with people who love to read. You do NOT need a Kindle to read "ebooks", there is an app for phone and computer. Nook has an app as well.
The apps are free.

If we released a list of all the companies that supported Trump and Project 2025 during the election, would you consider boycotting them all?

This is Chewey. He just had lunch. He's mad because I just put the ham for Thanksgiving on the stove and not on the floor. Please don't call Sara McLachlan or the A.S.P.C.A.

This is Chewey. He followed me all day while I smoked a turkey. He hasn't had a bite of it. He ate his dinner and got his Kong treat with his favorite dentix. He has asked three other families to adopt him away from the hell he is living.
