Thank you! 😊

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 page—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.

Thank you for clarifying. I'm relieved :-)

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.
