Good or bad, it has all happened before. Understanding history matters.

During the Nazi occupation of Paris, Parisians studiously ignored the enemy in public while running an underground resistance operation meant to combat the cruelty and save the victims.

Sounds like a plan.

Those who burn books are never the good guys. Those who ban books are burning them in effigy.

My 4 year old grandson was talking about my wife’s sister and couldn’t come up with β€œgreat aunt” so he said β€œgrandsister”. I seriously like that better.

The new Superman trailer drips of empathy and altruism - like the original incarnation. In an age where it feels like the bad guys are winning, I need this version.

A group of Māori women sat outside a polling station in 1908. They are in typical Edwardian fashions, including some natty straw boater hats.

#OnThisDay, 20 Dec 1893, around 4,000 women vote in the Māori seats in Aotearoa New Zealand. Photo is from 1908.

There was no presidential election 129 years ago, so there’s that.

Jane Austen would have been a bluesky assassin.

I just received a rush of followers from random people. They all have progressive bylines and either zero or one posts, but quite a number of followers. Some are the identities of real people I can confirm, but this feels like a bot operation.

Has anyone seen something like this?

Writer weird habit #7: hearing a piece of music, plugging one of your book scenes into it in your head, and then repeating about 200 times.

Cover showing Regency heroine and hero embracing. Ad says "Lifelong foes...until disaster builds a bridge."

Warning: This is a shameless plug. If you like sweet historical romance, the first romance novel I published in 2020 is on sale for 99 cent for the next week on most digital book platforms. You can find handy links here:

Man, 2020. What a weird time.

It’s too close to Moon River. Now all the songs are a hot mess in my head.
