#Editors, if you loved Jane Austen's "Sense & Sensibility," you'll swoon for the obstinate headstrong heroine in "Lady Weatherby's Soirée."

I had my three seconds of fame yesterday when I saw Bernie Sanders at the Burlington, Vermont airport. I exclaimed, "It's Bernie Sanders!" and he replied, "How ya doin'?" and went on his way. First and only US politician I've ever seen.

Asked a mate to pitch my #NA #F #R book:

If her people aren't being hanged in the town square then they're being eaten by the monsters in the meadows. The Elites want dominion and Alayna wants to destroy them. Except Tiv. He's cute.

Nailed it imo.

Mommy?
I'm a mom.
Mamacita.
No, I'm a mommy.
A mom of what? A bot?
No, of a Love Island romance WIP but it’s set in a dystopian world where they’re appointed soulmates and they make a reality show for those who don’t have one, but it’s a blood bath.

AITA: After I (immortal, F, muse recently trapped in a human body) got caught sneaking food from the mortal market without paying, I manipulated someone (25, M, butcher) to take the fall for my so-called theft.

They cut off his hand, and now he’s mad at me?!?!?

Figured I’d pitch my #NA #F #R set in a dystopian world using comments from numerous beta readers. Yes, they're all adults, even the one asking for their mum.
