So we’re writing fantasy and creating an entirely new world and what we choose to take with us is SA. Seriously? We can create this entire universe and this is our one thing that can’t change?

When you write “body”, I picture corpse. That’s a mood killer, right there. #editing #amediting

I’m struggling to finish Silver Elite. So tempted to DNF. I agree with a lot of reviewers about it being a predictable mash up. I also find Wren’s wallowing in self pity hard to take. Who else has read it? Thoughts?

Listening to the audiobook of “The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels.” Not entirely sure what I’m listening to but it’s delightful and whimsical and funny as hell.

I’m listening to Devil In Winter by Lisa Kleypas, read by Mary Jane Wells. It’s about my fourth listen. Mary Jane Wells is superb, the story is sublime and Sebastian St Vincent is delicious.
