In one of my stories there is a retirement party with choices of dozens of pies. Those chosen were Peach/Raspberry and Apricot/Pecan!

The author of The Ministry of Time, Kaliane Bradley, has a Cambodian mother and she was a refugee. She used that background for the novel and it's fascinating. Graham Gore from 1847 is confused and then charmed. "Internally Displaced Person" is a phrase used that has darker and darker meanings.

That sounds fun!

"I am trapped in a horror novel" is a great direction to go. One of my characters says "great sci-fi novel, terrible reality."

#TimeTravelAuthors D13 Cultures. In the original novel the Narrator's mother is a Cambodian refugee. Their family is Buddhist. I've kept a small strand of this, a box of beautiful fabrics is found, the MC has a meditation practice as taught by his grandmother. He is 1/4 Asian which others can see.

Must have them all!

Oh, that's clever and fun!

From my very first story, a continuation of the novel The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. Our heroes are on a ferry from Seattle to Victoria BC.

It’s Monday and Trump Is Already Losing: Texas Dems Break Turnout Records, Court Blocks Mass Deportations, Kari Lake’s Actions Erased, and Virginia Schools Set To Ban Jan 6 Lies They tried to rewrite history—so we bolted the truth to the Capitol wall

It's only Monday and Trump's regime is crumbling: record Dem turnout, blocked mass deportations, erased Kari Lake chaos, Jan 6 lies banned in VA schools.

$1 per book, but that royalty payment is still coming, once a year.

This is described in the novel I write fanfic for! Arthur’s father never tells him that he was dragged off the ice in a metal mesh net through the time door. The other contemporary Graham describes it to him in detail and poor Arthur is so, so sorry about it. Something he never wanted to know.

The Diplomat always needs to have a place to duck into if the Forces of Opposition show up, which did happen in Seattle. He ended up in the Cambodian consulate instead.

40 years in Chicago made me a Cubs fan, and we try to make a game when we travel. Amtrak from Portland to Seattle is great. We will see a Mariners Cubs game in August we hope!

The aides for the Diplomat from the Future are suggesting a baseball game because there is so much baseball metaphor in North American English. He now knows every bartender around T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

Baseball!

My MIL was baking wedding cakes. The very moment she could get a job, she did.

Cover of a book about Vigdis, the President of Iceland.

Read this children’s storybook at an International Women's Day event and had a whole room full of people saying "I didn't know that." Vigdis was the President of Iceland for 16 years.

MOTHERS of

Congratulations! Worthy accomplishment. I always was writing for work, just recently dipped into fiction.

I happen to be working on a little horror story myself, to my huge surprise.
