There were Black authors who wrote romance for Harlequin and Silhouette in the 80s and 90s, but they often had to write white stories in order to get published. Here are four examples: romancehistory.com/2024/02/10/w...

Help me identify this WWII soldier for a story I'm writing. My deadline is Feb. 14. The portrait was made between 1943 & 1945 in Pittsburgh's Hill District. He has a rifle medal on his chest, Service Forces patch & a Corps of Engineers insignia on his hat. Please repost & help me ID him. 🗃️

If you need a wee break from 😰🤯😱 I put together a blog post with knitting patterns inspired by all the lovely knitwear in All Creatures Great and Small. That show has such great knitwear throughout and I found some great patterns matches for many of them. #knitting 🧶 cinemaknits.com/2025/01/25/k...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

If you are in greater LA and have N95 masks or better, please consider distributing some to the unhoused. The air quality is horrific and only sixty hotel vouchers have been available so far.

SoCal friends: Many animal shelters are overwhelmed from people dropping off beloved pets they can't take with them as they flee. Please consider donating and fostering. Pasadena Humane is one such org. Contact your local animal orgs to see if they need help. pasadenahumane.org/eaton-canyon...

If you're a birder in the region and you have a birdbath, fill it with water. Birds will be fleeing affected areas and fresh water can help keep them alive 🪶

There are times when I'm reading a really good book when I think "I want to narrate this," because I want to live in the book. O Little Town of Bethlehem by @elizabethboyle.bsky.social just did that to me. Also deprived me of sleep and made me happy. Go read it.

I don’t know why the right was so worried about people coming here and assaulting women. Trump’s cabinet picks have that market cornered.

$"Can I tell yGu a secret? I don't care if there are undocumented immigrants in this country. I think it's a non-issue. Without social security numbers they're not getting the welfare people claim they're getting, the vast majority of them are normal people trying to live a better life. This whole wall deport-the-illegals bullshit is just the one percent convincing the working poor to blame a subset of the working poor for the fact that they're all poor, instead of realizing they're all poor due to vast income inequality and resource price inflation in combination with wage stagnation. The existence of another poor person is not why you're poor. It's because the people who control everything refuse\ to increase your wages.'' ---------------------------- Jesse Memer$

Best #writing advice I seldom hear mentioned: For your first draft, run a to-do list. The instant you encounter a missing idea, a problem, a word you think you're using too often, add it to the list and KEEP WRITING. To-do lists protect your first draft energy!

Yes, preorders are the # 1 way to support your favorite author, but here are FREE ways to help: * request the book from your library/Libby * hype it up to your local indie/chain bookstore * suggest it for your book club * post about it online; most book sales come from genuine love, not author ads
