Vivian Ayers Allen, Pulitzer Prize-nominated poet, dead at 102 Starting her literary career in Houston, her piece "Hawk" captured the American spirit for space exploration.

Today I tip my quill to the late Vivian Ayers Allen, the poet whose Hawk linked earthbound dreams to soaring freedom. 102 years of stirring verses, and cosmic homage. May our words fly as boldly. #author #writer #paranormal #fantasy #cozy #amwriting

Working on today’s draft: the kettle sings out my heroine’s secrets, the cat critiques each paragraph with a flick of her tail, and the parlor ghost keeps offering plot twists I never asked for. Writing feels like herding familiars—equal parts chaos and charm. #amwriting #cozy #paranormal

Or you could regulate the industry creating the problem, which is what a government is supposed to do. That's literally one of the things governments are there for.

Idiots who do not already have location services locked down on their phones get what they deserve. It ain't rocket science, folks. Protect yourself. Expecting tech bros to do the right thing is naive. At best.

Cover of the book The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley. Against a dark background, a woman in a white high-necked gown and a man in black and gold armor stand back to back. The woman holds a potion and wears a neutral expression, while the man clutches a dagger and glowers. The tagline reads: “The best love stories begin with hate at first sight.” The pink-and-black border features fantasy items—daggers, potions, bones, a skull, flowers, and swans.

Just started The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley and I already want to bite a pillow. The tension. The posturing. The hair. The tagline. THE POSE.
Haters-to-lovers excellence is back on the menu, folks.
