I just tried again to buy several of the $5.00 sale books just posted again here,copying and pasting the discount code from the Bluesky post, and when I put the code in at checkout it says it is not valid :-(

my X/Twitter account has been hacked and I am locked out. If you see strange stuff posted there, it’s not me. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The tarantula crawling up my leg one day in my 20s was a once in a lifetime event on a public bus. My realization that I needed to step on it or screaming would result was one on my greatest acts of public service. <shudder>

I’ve been distracted with a household problem recently that’s still ongoing, coupled with my PC dying. Since my fiction writing style is to take dictation from my characters, that’s hard to do on a iPad until I find a keyboard for it I can tolerate as a touch typist :-( Thx for the encouragement!

BTW…are you going to list your work eligible for this year’s Hugo nominations? I got a membership so I can nominate and vote this year, and would love to include your art.

Those Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin TV adaptations were *awesome.* I bought all the dvd seasons of it, and I’m glad since I’ve never seen them repeated.

I hope you and your loved ones get thru it with no problems.

But you’re just a sorry, sad, lady romance writer…right?…*RIGHT!!??*
…N.O. ! ! !
I hope some day my novels come close to being as good as yours.

Still loving your ongoing new home efforts! Thanks for sharing with us.

Anything mentioning _ER_ gets a heart from me :-).
