Of course some of them are going to blithely ignore Pope Leo about this, just as they do for all those other issues. 🙄
I stumbled across this Pinterest board of "Older women" in the Regency era, and there's a lot of great inspiration there for anyone who writes Regency-era mystery or romance. #historicalfiction #romancelandia

Me wearing a mountain lion T-shirt
The art on the T-shirt. It shows a mountain lion framed by negative space deer and oak leaves.
My APEX design is now available on a T-shirt! For folks who have been wanting to support me but don't want to wear Altadena merch, this one is inspired by our local California wildlife.

That makes much more sense than what I was thinking!
😬A herring? Better them than me.
I'm wondering this, too. I originally assumed it meant the drink, but I'm rethinking that.
"All of Us Murderers" is a good recommendation for someone who likes "mess," too.
Wait, you mean I'm not the only person who memorized that scene in ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE?
I actually HAVE used some of those packages! If you run out of soy sauce in the middle of a recipe, it's nice to have some emergency packets in the condiment drawer.
I did empty the whole drawer in January, though, to make sure we weren't clinging to three-year-old ketchup packets.
Still riding high on this (and hello to my new followers! 👋)—I only wish the holidays hadn't fried my brain so much, because I TOTALLY would have given this a better title. 🫠😂 #ohwell #pulp #romance #romancelandia
just to be clear, this also means that huge numbers of romance titles are now functionally out of print. and sure, romance has always been an ephemeral genre, but this decimates the genre in a very real way.

I hate this so much.

Over at the #MindPalate site: Yes, it's still more French toast! In this case, the Pennsylvania Railroad's delightfully fiddly recipe in which you get to make little tiny sweet sandwiches and fry them! Dump the doomcrolling for an afternoon and make these instead. 🙂 mind-palate.com/pennsylvania...
In THE CASE AT CASTLE ROCK COVE, Benjamin Radcliffe combs the beach for seashells, seaglass, etc. There's some discussion of fossilized ammonites, too. #Critterary

Yes! Horses show up in a couple of my historical romances, although they are not really "characters" the way some of the dogs are. 🐎
But my horsiest book is the one I'm working on now, a fantasy featuring unicorns. #Critterary
Don't be envious, but Toni Morrison is emailing me from beyond the grave to offer me a free trial of her book community. 🙄
And you're inviting everyone on bluesky, right? Because all of that sounds amazing! 🤣
Stay safe! (I miss how pretty snow looks, but I do NOT miss driving in it.)
This is the book of my heart. buff.ly/fWsyv1a
#2 Cozy white and gray blankets provide the background. In the center of the graphic is a mug of hot cocoa. At the top, text reads “Cozy Socks and Cocoa Party/Historical Romance Lovers/January 30th and 31st.” At the bottom, smaller letters say “Hosted by Lori Ann Bailey & Heather McCollum.” Pink hearts scattered around the graphic list different dollar amounts of gift cards: $200, $75, $35.
Mark your calendars for a Historical Romance Lovers event! I'll be participating in the Cozy Socks and Cocoa party on January 31.

"As soon as the butler opened the door and announced them, Lawrence scanned the room for a familiar golden-haired woman. The moment his eyes met Lady Carrington’s, his heart thumped, as if to say, this is the one." #WIPSnips

I've written about potion-making in some of my books...
I could have lived without knowing that red deer stags wallow in their own urine, though!
What I'm googling today: "In what season do red deer rut?"
Weirdly, I'm getting a lot of answers for white tail deer, which is not at all what I want. #writesky #writingcommunity
Pretty! It makes me wish I could step into the painting.
