Thank you to Free DC and everyone joining the protests to help #FreeDC. ✊

Meiselas: A MAGA anti-vax extremist opened fire on the CDC, killing a heroic Black officer. 500 shots fired. Do we hear Trump or JD Vance saying anything?

Cohen: Not even thoughts and prayers.

*grins* Not only was it rough, the entire plot hangs on the fact that I wrote it before smart phones... ;-)

I bought this one the day it came out. Second chances are my jam. ❤️

Things bringing me joy lately:

📖 Local book clubs
🏳️‍🌈 My wife
🧑‍🍳 Australian cooking shows
🍅 Tomatoes from the garden
🌹 Roses on their second bloom
🐉 D&D on the weekends
🪑 My new chair!
🧶 New knitting class on Sunday

What's bringing you joy?

Oh, this looks right up my alley...

Hey lovely -- is this a standalone? This sounds right up my allery.

So, I need to write a bonus story for my newsletter this month, and I'm drawing a blank. Does anyone have any prompts to spark a thought?

Unearthed Some ancient secrets are better left buried….When Jacob Keys gets the call every man dreads, he leaves his Wyoming home to find his mother’s killer. A whole archaeological team in Sardinia is dead, al...
