Trump is the only person in the world who could take a tragic homicide and make it about him.

I need a crash course in Italian. I'm going to Florence in January and I can't even order food. Any suggestions? (I'm going to ask David if there are any more at home like him.) @italy.bsky.social

It's not writer's block. It's writer's procrastination. What do you do when you need to write, but would rather do something else? (Anything else, like wash the kitchen floor.) I'm desparate.

My disabled adult son receives SNAP benefits. He works part-time, receives Social Security but still doesn't have enough money to make it through the month. He's not a freeloader and he's doing the best he can.

When Trump holds his first ball at his absurd new ballroom, no one should show up. Is this what Trump wants? #whitehousedemolition #versailles

I live over the hill from the Pacific Ocean in Northern California. I think he has valves confused with tides, which make water go up and down. Think gravitational pull of the moon or sun. Or he's just a moron. (I'm thinking moron.)

Starting book #5 of the Trisha Carson mysteries. Can't say that words are flowing like fine wine. Why is writing so hard?

This is more and more like 1939 Germany, the year Hitler took over the army.

In the past, I've scoured the web for reviewers, a lot of Googling, but I did find reviewers for my genre (mystery) who said they wanted a copy. They did review the books. One reviewer took a year, but it was worth it. It takes time but then you'll have contacts for your next book.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want reviews before your book is published? There are places that will review your manuscript, usually for a fee.
