Trust me when I say this, “no one is laughing”.

Oh is he supposed to be helping Americans? To date I have only seen him helping himself and some of his cronies.

I think to call it dumbfuckery is to minimize it. Call it what it is, an unwarranted act of war against a sovereign nation, who just happens to have a massive amount of oil reserves.

Venezuelans do and so does a good portion of the rest of the world. A better question would be do American citizens know, because they are the ones with the power to stop it.

I will put that on my TBR list. Indie authors need our support.

A Canadian here. We know it’s only one person and his lackeys who are fighting with us. We don’t hold it against everyone. Keep up the good fight.

So happy to see people continuing to protest. Thank you Lynn.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I personally know how heart breaking it is to lose a furry family members. 😔

Happy for you Carrie. I may have upset my sister in law (a Chiefs fan) when I sent her The Steve Miller Band’s Fly Like an Eagle after the 3rd TD 😆

Alex I never had a thought but after reading Onyx Storm there are a couple that come to mind. Have you read it yet? I can only say I am in awe of the sheer brilliance of RY’s mind in weaving the story together.

Lorie @ldrummond.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

We can add that to the list of things that make you go hmmm.

Lorie @ldrummond.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

It was both entertaining and informative. Thanks for being great hosts.

Friends,

I spent a good portion of Monday immersing myself Reverence and finished it yesterday. It’s a beautiful work of art. I also very much appreciated your thoughtful afterwords. It added even greater meaning to this already poignant story.

If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

I’m just finishing another one today and then I think I will be curling up with Reverence.

There’s been a lot of heated discussion around KallmeKris’ YT video condemning “TikTok smut books” and fans of Dark Romance. I want to talk about how she’s using similar talking points as Book Banners she condemning explicit Romance with illustrated book covers. And I don’t think it’s an accident.

Almost at 1k followers on Bluesky! To celebrate, when I get there, I’ll be giving away a signed, personalized paperback copy of one of my books: winner gets to pick the book (and must be a follower). Reply to this post to enter!

That’s excellent news because I think/hope that Bluesky is a more ethical platform. I would love a signed book.

Looking very forward to it.

I saw all the responses on 🧵. I think they have you covered but yes I would definitely suggest Brandi Carlile

To say I am devastated over our local Southern California fires is an understatement. I no longer have words to express my grief for my friends, family, and our communities that are going through this tragedy. To help, I am holding a fundraiser for Pasadena Humane. Please see below⬇️

That is good news Carrie. I will be hoping for best possible outcome. Just want you to know we are thinking of you and everyone in California. The fires are devastating.

As I look at that post, I think perhaps I am a weirdo. 😂

Lorie @ldrummond.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Nope, not a weirdo…or perhaps you are but then I would be one as well. I don’t listen to audiobooks either. Like you I have given the characters a voice and it wouldn’t match. Beyond that, I wouldn’t be able to maintain an attention span. My mind would just wander off.

Lorie @ldrummond.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

A huge thank you to @byrdwrites.bsky.social for her amazing book recommendations. I began 2025 reading Bloom Town Genesis/Exodus by Ally North and it is absolutely incredible! We aren’t even one week into the new year but I think it unlikely I will find a book I like better. Thanks Ally & Carrie!!

It’s hard to choose because there are so many but this photo of the Hassan II Mosque taken our first day in Casablanca is certainly one of them. Incredible architecture.

Lorie @ldrummond.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

I suspect there are many words and phrases to describe you but “bad author” most definitely is not one of them. You have proven that to us 16 times over. Hope you have a great 2025.

Merry Weihnachten by @zgrokit.bsky.social (shown here in the wilds in St Nicklaus’s sleigh) is officially my last read of the year. What a great way to wrap up the holiday season and the year. Wishing everyone a 2025 filled with much love, much laughter and more kindness.

Lorie @ldrummond.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

It was a pleasure to read. Definitely in my top 5 for 2024. Oddly enough it has stayed in my head as well. Congratulations!!

Once again I am truly grateful for authors who recommend other authors. So thanks to @jenlyonauthor.bsky.social for mentioning “The Piano in the Tree” by @johavens.bsky.social. It was one of the best of the year for me….a book I just wanted to linger with. So so good!!

Lorie @ldrummond.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

I just downloaded that book this morning. 😊

Lorie @ldrummond.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Agreed. Loved that book and her courage in telling the story.

Lorie @ldrummond.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

I loved No Shelter But the Stars and also read Two is a Pattern. Bloom Town is nearing the top of my tbr list. I had a slight detour and read Rebecca Yarros Empyrean Series. So good. If I may recommend one to you, The Piano in the Tree by @johavens.bsky.social is sublime. One of the best this year.
