Series Nine of Vera.

So good. So consistently, reliably good.

I think if Martin lives long enough the books will be written. Whether his ending matches the TV show will be fun to see.

Oh no. That's so sad. :-(

Everyone's Upstairs Neighbors"

hahahahahaha. So funny I had to post to Twitter. That's great.

Finishing Stranger in the House last night and celebrating with a trip to buy plants this morning. :-)

Although the weather has turned weirdly cold again, that crowded patio is a promise of sunny days spent in the garden very soon.

Yikes!

Oh yes. You've already got a good sized dog for an apartment!

Marlowe is extremely social and I think he does miss having someone to play with. (Someone who can keep up.)

I'm hoping they can pull out, but I do think Kindle Unlimited is making it harder and harder for that publishing model to survive.

1 - Finishing a project. Honestly, that moment of DONE is the best moment of all. Even better than when the story goes live.

2 - Another trip to Lowes and another load of plants destined for the back garden (which smells so amazing with all the jasmine and honeysuckle)

3 - Marlowe burrowing against my side at night and resuming loud snoring.

4 - Chocolate

5 - Watching terrible, terrible 1980s TV with the SO. In this case a PI show called BOOKER. SO entertaining. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booker_...

I love the thought of those cowbells sounding all the way to your garden!

I noticed those too!

Yes to all of that. :-)

I used to love Tai Chi. Maybe I should start up again. Something about yoga makes me feel guilty. Like if I'm not going to do it regularly, I shouldn't do it all. Which makes no sense.

He can't be everywhere at once! Put that second feeder up. :-D

Dreamspinner appears to be running out of road fast.

I hate to see it. Hate to see yet another indie company fall victim to Kindle Unlimited, but the signs are there.

Oh hell yeah. It's very clear trying to deal with their customer service that they don't care. Or at least they have a hostile attitude toward authors. If you contact them about something not books related, simply as a customer, they're great.

But they do really seem to view authors as the enemy.

Oops and here was Johanna well ahead of me with the explanation!
