US consumers should plan on tariffed products to cost 40% more off the shelf--the 25% tariff plus the inevitable markup at both the wholesale and retail level. Inflation will skyrocket.

Yeah, my annoyance threshold lately is low it seems, so I've turned off DMs.

I've been quiet on social media for several years because life suddenly got complicated. I've hit the Reset button, and day by day, I'm working to refocus on activities I enjoy, especially writing and sharing insights on writing, editing and publishing that I've gleaned over many years.

Writing isn’t just putting words on a pageβ€”it’s wrestling with ideas, taming chaos, and finding clarity in the mess. Every draft feels like a battle, but in the end, it’s worth every struggle.

I grew up on my grandma's Avon #romance & transitioned to "bodice rippers" by the time I was 13, right along with V.C. Andrews. I was -always- going to write a #Regency. The first in the series is now just $0.99! #AgeGap #Widow #Rake #Duke, a little #Mystery, & definite #HEA

It's my pleasure. FYI, my plans for the weekend include being prepared for another round of query letters. Thought I would mention it. I was impressed to see your name on some versions of Strunk and White.

It's a small publishing company. Nothing horrendous or even offbeat is forthcoming. If you are unhappy with that use, the first invite I receive I will gift back to you, which should be in about a week, assuming users receive invite every two weeks.
