a new novel coming Oct. 2026 from Regal House. I also have a book published by a small press in 2017. It got several finalist awards and over 70 five-star reader reviews. I worked hard to get it out there, despite not having national distribution.

Well said

Oh yeah! That's only natural. I kept in mind that it really was out of my hands.

I’d go with Ms. as well. I had learned that Mrs indicated married as well as to whom, so Mrs. Beth Jones would indicate Beth [maiden name] married Beth Jones.

A friend on Facebook said you should use Mrs. Beth Jones if Paul is deceased.

Okay- so here’s the rub. My husband says it’s okay to address her as Mrs. Beth Jones. I say no. She did not marry Beth! It’s Ms. Beth Jones.

Poll for the grammar nerds:

Is Mrs. Beth Jones correct English for a written address if Beth is married to Paul?

We are having a discussion here.

I will not divulge my opinion. Yet. I do have one and it's very strong

Cool stickers for book lovers at my local bookstore! Which would you buy?

I like “the husband did it”

That's sounds like me, spring cleaning in late summer.

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

Lol!

As a child, I had to recite "with liberty and justice for all" every morning in school.

But I'm "woke" and "unAmerican" because as an adult I believe in liberty and justice for all.

It’s all subjective.

Unique is now as meaningless as interesting.
