The third book is in line for pre-order now, and I'm calling it a week. (I'll continue to work on the read-through of TSOS, but that's not heavy lifting.)

I'm hoping that all alterations will be done next week and I'll be ready to load up final version so I can get on to other things.

Tomorrow I'll put all my shawls in my online store on sale. (Fridays are 'on-line store' days from now on.) 25% off on everything.

Big shawls do cost $10-11 to post, but the small shawls and the collars can go in the smaller ground advantage mailing group. Just have to figure that out.

The Amazon ebook is up for preorder. Now to figure out where I am on Book 2...

www.amazon.com/Golden-City-...

I put up a pre-order page for the new version of The Golden City, although I'm not expecting much action. If you've owned a previous version of it, getting the new one from Amazon might take a bit of a fight.

Devastating. Teen Vogue has been doing excellent work in political journalism the last few years, better than some major newspapers.

No word yet that they've actually shipped anything , though. I am close to having my credit card company reverse that charge.

Don't do business with Coldwater Creek... they were a reputable company once but have moved into scam territory.

An order I placed way back in Dec of 2024? I was told (this summer) I couldn't cancel because it was 'in picking'?They just charged me for goods that should have been shipped Feb ' 25.

Re-upping this:

Ugh. Sorry. :(

Big surprise. During Trump's first term this information was ignored. Anyone remember the days of the Pentagon Papers? We need someone to find a way to release the Epstein files.

SQUEEEEE!!!!!!

I have a reversion letter for that last book!!!!!!!!

The CEO of a publishing company is not someone who has good advice for writers.

I wrote about how RFK Jr is making health worse for millions of Americans. He's slashed research and healthcare, and replaced them with "hAvE yOu TrIeD YoGa?"

Link & free link in thread. There are impeachment/removal proposals in both the House and Senate. Tell your electeds to boot this guy out!

::hugs::

I just checked, and Penguin has removed ALL OF MY BOOKS from their online catalog. Including The Golden City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am hoping my former agent has received some sort of reversion letter for that last book PRH has been holding on to. ::fingers crossed::

Central TX Food Bank has a list at donation of how far your money goes

I don’t have extra cash right now, but there was nothing I was going to do with that $25 that’s better than providing 75 meals to hungry people

I crochet while waiting for the next closed-caption to pop up. (That's my whatever.)

FWIW, when I did up a spiffy new website ($$$) after 12 years of my old one (at publicists' suggestion), even though it had my domain name, it simply never got much traffic. Far less than the old non-flashy site did.

Some weird thing about SEO loving the old stuff, not the new? Money->drain.

Yeah, I get that. Our dogs weigh 100 lbs each, so it's not a worry for us.

We also have bobcats, so it's just a good policy to keep an eye on your smaller pets here.

We see/hear coyotes often and don't feel threatened by them. There are so so many rabbits that we aren't reasonable prey.

This one is probably looking for a storm drain so he can traipse back off to the greenbelt.

Coyote crosses the road in a Plano subdivision.

Pulling out of the library parking lot about 10AM yesterday (after voting) hubs snapped this pic from his car. It's a little blurry *because car* but he said this guy was one of the bigger ones and looked pretty healthy.

Five cartoon superheros, none of whose names I remember except for the kid, named Keyop.

Share a cartoon from the past kids today probably never heard of. 📺

And here's a pic of it hanging out...

Cooking some pork for dog food and as always, I hate the way pork smells raw.

Interested in video marketing (or don't know where to start)? Check out my recap of the @writehive.bsky.social panel from the 2025 conference, with a link to the full video! historythatneverwas.com/2025/10/13/w...

Although it was slightly not-square, that's the sort of thing only visible if it's displayed, not if it's in use. So I'm fine with that.

Now if it would only be fall....

The Barton Hap is off the blocking mat and waiting to be photographed.

This is the kind of thing that doesn't look particularly good on my armless mannequin. I either need to affix arms to my manne, or get a model.
