//A slight divergence into thoughts on fashion and how the pandemic affected that. Also, being a hedonist. More on topic: why do book sales vary so much by platform? Some books sell only on certain retailers and I don’t know why.
//Some exciting (though vague for now) news for me! Also a roundup of the various platforms I use for my self-published books, since I’m wide. Also how “adult” seems to mean erotic now, and how annoying that is.
//It’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in Southern Hemphisphere. That means it’s time for our biggest sale of the year.
Whether you’re looking for a great summer beach read or something to warm your heart in front the fireplace, you’ll find it here!

I’m in New Orleans this week, attending the RT Booklovers Convention. I posted my “appearance” schedule last week. Alert readers will note that today, Tuesday, is *not* on this list. That’s because I’m hiding in my courtyard in the French Quarter getting my words in. The above is where I’m sitting as I write this.
Yes – kind of awesomely gothic and tropical.
A fun thing that I’m part of this year is a Freebie jump drive from Smashwords. Mark Coker blogged about it here. The drive contains 349 free books, including my Petals and Thorns. I mean this in the nicest way possible when I say I hope it’s a gateway drug for the rest of my books. 😀
Meanwhile, you might catch me wandering around the Quarter, but I’ll definitely be around tomorrow and the rest of the week!
