Victorian Lady cyclist detectives... why is this not a tv series yet? I can see it now, foggy London, ladies on bicycles through the narrow streets, swords hidden in walking sticks, Henry Cavill with a top hat, stolen diamonds, opium dens... newspapers.com/clip/110601038… 🧵

#HappyBirthdayJimmyCarter Goodness just oozes from him, my strongest memory is him with a hammer for Habitat for Humanity, building Homes with his beloved wife by his side for people who needed them, well into his late 80’s Sometimes I think we don’t appreciate what greatness really is, it’s not always the loudest or strongest Quite often it’s the humble, the kind and the good ones, who when you reflect on their achievements they weren’t front page but they were many Thank you Mr President, thank you for what a fine man you are and how lucky were we to have you as our Leader

There is a massive effort underway to get help to the people of western North Carolina including state and federal relief but we know there will be additional needs. If you would like to donate to the NC Disaster Relief Fund, visit nc.gov/donate.

We are on the ground in NC working with the state to support needs following #Helene. Resources have already arrived & many more are on the way. People in NC can apply for disaster assistance on DisasterAssistance.gov, on the FEMA App or by calling 1-800-621-3362. More⤵️

Resources for folks in the Asheville area …

Federal disaster assistance is available to North Carolina to supplement recovery efforts in the areas, FEMA announced TODAY. FEMA has a phone app. The one on my phone includes "Apply for Individual Assistance". graphic: Kristen Havlik

@RandyRainbow I'm kind of thinking "convicted felon" would do well in a Chicago musical number, like Cell Block Tango.

Don't miss my latest guest post as a Resident Writing Coach at Angela & Becca's Writers Helping Writers! This time around, I'm giving tips on avoiding repetitiveness in series. 😁 This is a two-part post, with half on my blog and half below. 👇

Word of the day, should it be needed, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude, an aversion to other people, and the desire to be left alone.

@rowlinglibrary Wishing you well.

Personal Update: The past weeks have been a bit stressful in my Muggle life due to some personal matters - nothing major, fortunately. This has kept me from fully savoring the final countdown to The Running Grave release (and the other Potter releases!) I hope to return to our usual publishing routine soon. Thank you as always for your understanding!

Cause all storytelling is empathy building and when we connect with each other we are better humans
