the good news is that if my new electric blanket ever stops working, i still have a nice thick blanket.

i guess you can surgically remove the wires if necessary...
just thinking ahead, here 😄 we all know this ish isn't built to last.

(ignore the wall... we haven't renovated yet).

I like mine from "Even If We're Broken" because I felt like I should state the archaeology sites were fake so folks don't go looking for em 😂

I need to update its language to include the clause about genAI that I started adding to my later books.

if you think about Kate & Esben as much as I do, consider voting for "Even If We're Broken" in the Indie Ink Awards and the IndieVerse Awards!

Indie Ink: indiestorygeek.com/user/amweald
IndieVerse: www.indieverseawards.com/voting
text thinking about them over a hand drawn painting of kate and esben from even if we're broken with them snuggling under a tree holding golden flowers and smiling at one another. she's wearing a plaid top and he's wearing a tshirt with a heart and a trowel over it. the indie ink awards and indieverse awards logos as well as the book cover are pasted over the painting.

"Ash and Leim (pronounced Lime) from Fimbulvinters Fires embracing tenderly during a blizzard wearing parkas. Ash is shorter by a head with light brown skin and dark hair and beard. Leim who is embracing Ash from behind is tall, pale-grey, with grey-blonde hair. Leim has their hand over Ash's, and Ash's hand is placed over his own heart. They both have their eyes closed as if relieved and taking a moment to just hold one another as a blizzard rages around them."
