Here to hang out and chat about life, my hobbies and my cats! I am owned by two Maine Coons, Prospero (Perry) and Artemis (Misty). I love #pottery, dabble in fountain pens, am interested in the world, and obsess over US/UK politics more than is good for me
Writes not wrote! She’s still at it, a book a year usually, though sometimes there’s a gap while she refills her well.

I haven’t read her first series but I’m told it’s very similar! The Others books are set in a fantasy world where humans are very firmly not allowed to overpopulate or over consume. Good humans understand this, bad humans meet sticky ends.

She wrote a very specific sort of book and does it well. Usually there is a main character who is taken under the wing of a Power and she can do no wrong. Men are bastards to women and punished for it. People are greedy and punished for it. It’s all on the cozy end of dark fantasy.

I loved the new Anne Bishop, did you like the Others novels? It’s similar, but a new world, with fae instead of were creatures. And so relaxing! I inhaled it during an extra hard week of elder care. www.annebishop.com/b.turns.fate...

I'm really gutted about this. I spent over ten years building my website, it's what launched my writing career. But between AI hijacking all my traffic, literally, traffic from searches is almost 0 now, and my host raising fees to be hundreds of dollars for the year, I just can't anymore.
