I am a huge McBride fan, but she has also been having a very rough season so far compared to last year (I know she's doing better than average on paper, but watching the games she's been very frustrated with herself).

Try the red velvet fudge. It's amazing (as was the banana pudding fudge)

It's wild that, even in old photographs, you can feel the swagger coming off that last guy. That guy strruuutteed.

Is it wrong to be suspicious when someone buys an ebook and then returns it like 3 hours later?

What if you could change your biggest regret. A do-over coming of age tale. Second down.

New Milestone. Second Down is almost at 100 pre-orders, the most pre-orders ever for book 1 in a new series. Just 6 more pre-order by midnight (when the book releases). And it's on sale for the pre-order. Now's the time to get it. amzn.to/41gYJtg #booksky #comingofage #writingcommunity #indieauthor

While I do have a new book coming out this weekend, I haven't talked about my older series in a while. If you like Alt-History and Time Travel, take a second and check out The Sword of Jupiter, the first book in the Imperium series. amzn.to/3DeDXSK #booksky #writingcommunity #authors

The MNBA should consider lowering the rim. That might make it more exciting and get viewers watching.

"A man really knew how to wear a hat back then" ... man, ain't that the truth. 40s was the height of hat fashion. We really lost something there.

For my Valentine's Day #WIPSnips here's a snippet of a scene from the MC Blake's first date with Melanie from my upcoming book "Second Down" (A Do-Over Coming of Age coming out Feb. 22nd and out for pre-order ... okay, shameless plug :) )

I just wrote "All that work, and what did it get them" into a story, and I hope that at some point, some reader reads it and hears the tiktok sound in their head.
