My friend has another short story out. Fetch Us Another Round
This is the same friend who wrote Inks, Jinks.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I highly recommend that book.

Now tagless for your comfort.
A readers' advisory consultant at work told us that when the world is a garbage fire, two genres of books increase in readership: romance and dystopian fiction.
One, because people want to lose themselves in happy endings, the other, because they want to know it could be worse.
I just got my second $20 amazon gift card for listening to my 3rd romance novel on audible this month.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm finding I gravitate toward murder mysteries lately, some good old-fashioned order-being-established-after-chaos

Yes I'm all about escapist romance and mysteries where the bad guy is caught and all is well in the end!

I haven't been a big mystery reader, but I found a series about a cop in Honolulu who is trying to solve a murder and comes out as gay. The whole series is kind of fun. It's only a little sexy and the mysteries aren't too difficult to figure out but I'm on the fourth book in the series so I like it.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm nearly finished the first of the Dresden Files series. I don't know what I was expecting, but I am finding it amusing. A plus for me is it having a bunch in the series.

I had been reading mysteries for the last couple of years to cope with the general mess the world is in. Now I'm reading Defoe's "Journal of the Plague Year" and a history of the Spanish Influenza. I find it comforting to know that everything could be way worse.
