This #laborday lets focus on the history not the sales.

As my countdown to #York continues, today I am celebrating my favorite city “bar”. Not a place for getting drinks. But a name for the city gates. York has four major bars left in their city walls. This one’s my favorite because— besides being a stunner —it’s near my favorite coffee shop.

My countdown to York has begun. This Thursday I fly to the UK to begin the next chapter of my author life. I feel so fortunate to have been granted a talent visa in literature. Feels like a fairytale.

This is NOT what Democracy looks like.

Over the moon to share I've been granted a UK Talent Visa. That means my beloved York will be my home-in-chief for the next few yrs. SO excited to connect w/ British historical fiction scene, & work on some UK based stories. UK writer friends, hope you don't get sick of me! #historicalfiction

so the historical novel society of North America‘s conference is in the books. What a fabulous time. Such a privilege to reconnect with so many superb fellow writers and friends. #hns2025

If you want peace in Ukraine, pressure Russia. If you want war, don’t. The Trump people only make concessions. Which is exactly what the Kremlin expected. The US through its astounding weakness is making the war longer and bloodier than it has to be.
