These are simply perfect. A staple of mine. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Yes, it's all the same percentages when you set it up. Although if Amazon puts things on sale (sometimes they do, it's *very* rare though) I wouldn't get as much from them.

Most purchases come through Amazon. That's just the way it is.

Blurbs continue to come in for SHOESHINE BOY & CIGARETTE GIRL so I figured I’d share them one at a time in no particular order. Today’s selection comes from @paulcornell.bsky.social because the final line just made me laugh. 😀 Too kind, Paul.

"A hard-worn romance that means it, the hope and commitment we need right now, from the best writer called P. Cornell."

I only use Ingram, so it’s the same price across vendors.

Greetings from rainy LA, where I am working on art and thinking about creative projects!

I wish you were in LA and we would absolutely do this.

Jendia Gammon @jendiagammon.bsky.social · 14h

I finally (tardy to the party) watched Something’s Gotta Give, and Diane Keaton was of course magnificent in it. I was not thrilled about the resolution, so I’ve sort of got fanfiction in my own head. Julian!!

The current situation on this rainy LA morning. I’ll get to the writing. I have to… but for now, art.

Watercolor pad, palette, art supplies and a cup of coffee in a romantasy mug.

Jendia Gammon @jendiagammon.bsky.social · 14h

Also a good day for making art!

It’s a really good day in LA for every cozy food, especially soup… and maybe some homemade cookies. Also the perfect day to linger over a mug of hot coffee after an autumn walk, once the rain lets up.

Jendia Gammon @jendiagammon.bsky.social · 15h

Splendid rain today in LA. Time to break out the cozy foods.

And I see snow on the radar in the mountains!

October rain at midnight in LA sort of takes on a mythic quality.

The "postdrome" of the migraine is honestly worse than any headache. Just a full-system misery fest. Only things making me smile: my kids joking, memes (thank you, you know who you are), and my budgie, Artoo.
