Writer of words, knitter of yarn. Owned by two adorable cats. Slightly steamy, slightly sweet historical romance.

Since I’ve gained a number of new followers, I should introduce myself again. I write Regency Romance, with 🫑 spice. I love research rabbit holes, usually for history or films/television. Casablanca is my comfort film, and I always have some knitting project on my needles. And I read. A lot.

Back in 2009, I was in Borders, looking at graphic novels. This was shortly before The Watchmen film came out. There was an entire shelf of special editions of the comic series in various shapes and sizes.

A young men next to me asked his friend, “How many copies of The Watchmen do you need?”

Got it. That is almost enough to tempt me to look at Android phones...if it wasn't for the fact I just got the 17 Pro. Also, my husband gets my old phone when I'm done and that would screw with his setup.

Is that from the iPhone 17?

I'm glad other groups are keeping up the idea of NaNo with Novel November, though it's much more set your own goals at this point with them. Or, what we used to call being a NaNo Rebel.

Sharon Small steps from behind the podium, which let everyone see she was hugely pregnant. Laughter ensued.
