Beautiful ❤️

I was hoping to get the perfect shot for my winter fundraiser at the humane society today and Soleil frickin NAILED IT. This sweet and handsome meatball gentleman is available for adoption in northern Vermont! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Should be a law….

😳🤯🤣

Usually, the cracker biscuits and peanut butter. Although, as you can probably see, my husband puts the chocolate on the highest shelf, where I need a step ladder to reach the goodies.

🤣

Where did you hide the cameras at my place?!

Good luck! 🙂

Hello Wilhemina and Emilie. 🙂🙂

🤣 Good morning, Jimmy.

A book acts as the getaway car when you need to escape. Even when you're the one writing it. -Julie Wright - Keep Writing. - Background shows a relaxing rope hammock between two trees under a true blue sky with cotton-like clouds in it and warm breezes just waiting for you to rest in it.

After being on the phone AND in front of two computer screens all day, I can barely force myself to look at another screen - even to communicate with friends. Sorry. 😖

Watching the [world] news, I've concluded Shakespeare was right when he wrote: "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here."

Book cover with words: "Wanna Score? - an anthology of micro-fiction (EXACTLY 20 words) following 30 prompts, humorous & serious. ALL profits to Amnesty International." The cover illustration is a black and white drawing by "Phizz", originally drawn for "The Pickwick Papers". It shows several young women surrounding Mr. Pickwick. One is whispering to him "psssst! WANNA SCORE?" The anthology was edited by Emilie van Damm, and ALL the people listed in the main text contributed to it. The La Granota logo is situated lower right.

Book cover in colour. The scene is apparently Stonehenge, with various figures from fiction attending, as well as a tree frog, a red kangaroo with a wombat in her pouch, and a zombie edition of Jane Austen. The title is THE saga. A red, diagonal banner proclaims: "The SENSATIONAL new novel by Jane Austen!!! Her first in over 200 years! (Not for readers of a nervous disposition.) The kangaroo is explaining: "Of course, she didn't write it all by herself: she DID have help... a LOT of help!" Jane Austen (zombie) says "I must confess that, I cannot gainsay the veracity of, this elegant antipodean's pronouncement." The wombat says "Strewth, Sheila! You're a fair dinkum bludger!" This alleged saga was conceived and edited by Emilie van Damm. Four of the people listed in the main text contributed to its writing, along with six others. La Granota's logo is represented/replaced by the tree frog, holding on to the diagonal red banner.

Book cover with the title "draGons [exclamation mark]" in three languages: English, Spanish, and Catalan. The three titles are in lower-case letters, except for the Gs and the C, which are in upper case. The illustration is an anatomically correct drawing of a draGon, drawn by a 5-year-old. We are informed that the author is Wilhelmina Lyre, aged 89, and that the illustrator is Georgia Lythgoe, aged 5.

Book cover, with words: "And Then The Dragons Came! - an anthology of dragon invasions of famous works of literature. ALL profits to Amnesty International." The cover illustration shows a winged dragon tossing The White Rabbit into the air, while Alice flees un the background, flinging a book o er her head. La Granota's logo is situated lower left. This anthology is currently being edited by Emilie van Damm, and MOST of the people listed in the main text have contributed to it.

There is no power on earth for authors like word of mouth. Especially with the death of Twitter, so many of us have lost huge chunks of our reach. So please, if you love a book, tell your friends and talk it up on your social media. No voice is too small, every single word counts. And thank you!

Jimmy, I quit coffee last year, so I sincerely hope it's not a necessity. 🙃

That being said, I was completely caffeine-powered for over a decade of freelance writing... 🤔

Absolutely! 😁

If you want there to be F&SF fiction mags, we need to do something now, while Amazon is removing their support. Check out one mag's website today and support them, if you have the means. Or just RT this if you can't, because the situation is pretty dire.

Thank you, Jimmy. 💖

Thank you, Jimmy. 😊

Is there an option to stay there for the rest of my life?

Was that the beautiful dawn photo or the current 4 leaf clover?
