@RachelleGardner I saw the news on Pub Lunch and wanted to come over here and say congratulations! Wishing you all the best with your new agency in the new year.

COVID-19 has driven home how deeply fortunate I am to be able to work, largely unhampered, from home. But for many freelancers in various fields, that's not the case. If you need assistance, this may help. And if you can donate, please, please consider it. donate.workingtoday.org

@_AnnaBennett @bookpage @author_bell @sarahmaclean Why, thank you! So glad you liked it. :-)

Love this @BookPage feature by @Elizabeth_Mazer: "These days, we have clever, witty authors crafting bold, charismatic [hist romance] heroines who are far more likely to seize a good brandy than clutch at their smelling salts." @author_bell @sarahmaclean bookpage.com/features/24277…

What do you think, @EmilyRodmell? Is this what #LISuspense has been missing?

For those days when regular mannequins just aren’t creepy enough.

Good (ridiculously early) morning, New York.

Not sure what’s worse—people in Times Square gawking up at the lights and not looking where they’re going; staring down at their phones and not looking where they’re going; or snapping pics of the lights with their phones...and not looking where they’re going. #grrtimessquare

@EmilyRodmell So do you just throw them away now that you can't unload them on me?

Went to the store for batteries and found this priceless treasure. No icky orange and yellow to dispose of.

I tell myself I won’t bring home any more books from work. But then it’s #ReadOurWorld at #hbgusa and next thing I know...

@darngooddog I think it helps with vocabulary, but it doesn't give a lot of instruction on grammar. And sometimes, it can be too particular--rejecting valid translations.

@Elizabeth_Mazer Do you like the program? Are you more fluent?

Um...why does Duolingo think I need to know how to say this?

Now you’re just making excuses... #seriouslywhatsupwiththislesson

@EmilyRodmell To be honest, if I saw an actual police dog at 34th Street when I was taking the train in one morning, I'd immediately panic that there was an investigation in the station that would freeze my commute in its tracks. #lifemomentsthataremorefuninfiction

I love it when I see dogs on my commute. Isn't this a fun cover? Look for this book in August.

How does a New Yorker know that springtime has arrived? The big clue is when all the planters in midtown are filled with daffodils and tulips.

A coworker brought in soda bread which will forever and always make me think of @matrice. Hope you're well, Matrice, and that you had a great St. Paddy's day!

@AuthorPatJohns @EmilyRodmell, reminds me of stories you used to tell about Kiwi with your landlady's cats, Winky and Jouncy (am I remembering those correctly)?

LOL! Too cute!

Just learned that the Japanese have an expression that translates to "wash your neck and wait" and means "prepare to die." Now I'm picturing Princess Bride with the catchphrase "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Wash your neck and wait." #thingsyoulearnatwork

@shana_asaro Ah, memories... :-)

I will never forget reading a manuscript where the hero wore ItalDerek shoes, and they read The IndDerek in the Cupboard. :)

@TessaofAvonlea Just saw the news about your promotion. Congratulations!!

So yesterday I got promoted and last night I dreamed that a bookcase fell on me... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

So interesting! Loved the line about how "The landed aristocracy...had all the power, politically and linguistically." Fascinating example of how authority figures can dictate even the vocabulary we use to describe ourselves and the people around us.
