.@henrywise05 "showcases the true vastness and versatility of the genre, rendering a vivid portrait of a place (and people) held hostage by history but not entirely without hope."

If a Republican had an original idea it would die of loneliness.
The playbook they are using against Biden is ripped from their 2016 Hillary Clinton playbook (medically unfit, will withdraw, who will replace) don't be part of this BS and don't let them get away with this BS.

The Dems can run a chihuahua for every single office in November and onward, and I will vote blue before I EVER vote for a Republican. The most morally bankrupt group of money-grubbing and power-grubbing politicians ever slithering across America. Period.

I can't believe this.
City of Dreams is now #32 on Amazon's hot 100 new releases.
This is the best position of my career on @Amazon's hot new releases.
It only took 69 years and 25 books!

Major publishers saw flat 2022 sales due to inflation & supply chain issues. But Simon & Schuster had an 18.5% increase in sales, thanks to audio books. The good news is that publishers expect 2023 sales to stay higher than they were before the pandemic.

I thought my WIP was finished, but today I decided to lop off the first 11 pages and start the book in media res AKA “into the midst of things” and I’m terrified I’ll screw up everything. Advice? #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Making semifinal edits for my agent on my WIP. Of course, I’ve made multiple backups. Today I had the horrible feeling I’ve been editing the copies instead of the master. All writers have done this, right? #amwriting #WritingCommnunity
