This is heartbreaking because I've never heard anything other than Danny Trejo is a wonderful human and I hate that this happened to him.

Resellers decimate our Goodwill's books regularly. They hit the day when that sticker is on sale and then resell them on Marketplace (or I suspect there's a used book store using them as a supplier).

So my husband had cataract surgery and I’ve been doing city driving, and I’m told I sing the same verse & chorus of “Winter Wonderland” over & over when deep in it. Today I caught myself & I realized it has the right inhalation spots to keep me from clenching my jaw and holding my breath.

Looking for a fun read? THAT REILLY BOY is a standalone small-town romance about two people from feuding families—and with a history of their own—who come up with a possibly (definitely) unhinged plan to get what they each want. (Also, I love this dog.) geni.us/thatreillyboy

Pink cartoon cover for That Reilly Boy: A cartoon Shih Tzu peeks out from between letters in Reilly. A dark-haired man with a beard, wearing a business suit has a thought bubble reading “There’s more than one way…” and a brunette woman has a thought bubble reading “…to end a feud.” Tropes listed: To get what he wants, he’ll make her his wife. Feuding families. Marriage of convenience. He’s forbidden to her. He broke her heart in high school. He’s rich now. He’s back in town, looking for revenge. His dog hates everybody but him…oh wait, and her. He has a secret tattoo. Closed door. Available now!

It's the Sea Glass. In some lights (my office) it's just light blue, but in warmer lights, it has the touch of gray/green that makes it a little more sea glass tinted.

After playing ring-around-the-planner for several weeks, I’m going back to my planner roots for 2027 with a Hobonichi Weeks. (Bonus, it starts Nov 30th, so I don’t have to wait for Jan 1st. 💃)

Made an impromptu almost-bedtime drive a little bit north to see if we could see (or if my phone could pick up) the Honor Summit lights from Mount Washington. No, but it’s still a cool picture.

I fear the Dem leadership has ceded NH. Much of my district's ballot was blank yesterday, or uncontested races. (Including governor. Only one Democrat in the state was willing to run for governor?) And the senate race is going to be brutal. Well, I'm not ceding shit. We need to get loud for Pappas.

I love that I get dozens of text messages from Dems running in NH every day, and when I finally respond to one asking me if I have any questions with an actual question, I get no response. It won't change my vote because my pettiness is 0% important, but seriously?

Made the drive to the B&N in the southern part of the state and finally found a copy of HER FAVORITE FUMBLE in the wild! (Luckily, they had two months of the series romance out, so last month’s were still on the shelves.)

Holding a paperback copy of Her Favorite Fumble up in front of the Barnes & Noble romance shelves. Cover has a couple smiling at each other while holding hands and walking on a rugged, rocky beach with a sunset behind them. He has short dark hair and is wearing an olive Henley shirt and worn jeans. He’s holding a football in his free hand. She has long, curly red hair and is wearing a blue hoodie and jeans.

I can't believe people are still traveling here voluntarily (the number of tourists I was around yesterday 😐). I mean, my family's been here like 400 years and I'm afraid to hop over into Canada because I'm afraid I won't be allowed back in after they ignore my rights and rummage through my phone.

I’m totally chalant AF today because HER FAVORITE FUMBLE—a small town, opposites attract, forced proximity romance with lots of love and laughter—is available now! geni.us/waywardharbor1

Paperback copy of Her Favorite Fumble propped next to a white coffee cup that says “I try to act nonchalant but inside I’m actually chalant AF.” Cover of Her Favorite Fumble: A couple smiling at each other while holding hands and walking on a rugged, rocky beach with a sunset behind them. He has short dark hair and is wearing an olive Henley shirt and worn jeans. He’s holding a football in his free hand. She has long, curly red hair and is wearing a blue hoodie and jeans.

Back cover copy of Her Favorite Fumble. He’s grumpy, gorgeous, totally impossible… And her new roommate. After Lucy Macauley’s Las Vegas life implodes, she needs to regroup. Her grandmother’s beachside Maine cottage seems like the perfect place to put herself back together. But when she arrives, she runs straight into a grouchy complication—Nick Slater, the builder living on-site to make repairs. Nick knows better than to want things that are out of his reach. He learned that lesson when he gave up his football dreams. Still, Lucy lights him up in a way he hasn’t felt in years. And Nick has Lucy wondering if her temporary stay could turn into a lasting love.

Only 2 more weeks until HER FAVORITE FUMBLE releases! I’ve been showing off the cover a lot (because it might be my new favorite), so here’s the first page. It makes me laugh because the first thing my husband & I plan on any trip is how we’re going around Chicago. geni.us/waywardharbor1

Paperback copy of Her Favorite Fumble open to chapter one next to a white mug that says in cute pink font: Grump & Sunshine, A Romance Bookshop. Chapter One. “You can’t get there from here.” - old Maine colloquialism. It was 2915 miles from Las Vegas to the small coastal town in Maine that Lucy Macauley’s grandmother called home. Lucy rounded it up to an even three thousand miles, though, because some of those services weren’t right off the highway exits as the signs led her to believe they’d be. There was a lot of backtracking. Also, she’d panicked and gone the wrong way at a confusing interchange, ending up in Chicago traffic—a trauma already so embedded in her DNA, her future grandchildren would have a deep fear of the city they wouldn’t be able to explain. Three thousand miles was also about 2990 miles too long to have nobody but herself and some easily tuned out podcasts for company. She had no job, no home, and everything that mattered to her was packed in her car. It wasn’t a great headspace to be in. She wasn’t broke, though. Thanks to a financially insecure upbringing driving her to squirrel away her money, and her former living arrangements not giving her the space to accumulate a lot of purchases, her savings account was healthy. It was earmarked for her dream of moving to Miami, though, so she’d rather not dip into it.

During international ice hockey play, I find myself rooting for the team wearing black and gold because they're the Boston Bruins colors and it's never the US team (who look like the NY Rangers in our country's colors), and I inevitably get confused and wander away.
