I #selfpublish so I have to do all my own marketing and rely on word of mouth. Please let others know my new #book is out there, especially for folk who might enjoy a comedy about working for the blue & yellow empire that was #BlockbusterVideo in the 90's. #memoir #VHSera #indie #womanwriters

All I said was that JFK would probably punch Trump in the face. And I stand by this, because I think he actually would!

Hee hee! I went on Twitter to say a few things, and now I'm in "jail" for 12 hours. LOL! That free speech thing is really working out!

Before streaming, there was minimum wage, fluorescent lighting, and customers convinced the case was the film.

No nostalgia filter. No hero arc.
Just retail, VHS, and the slow erosion of hope.

Available now.
Welcome to the trenches.

One woman. One video store. Absolute chaos.
Chaos at Twenty-One is not a cosy 90's nostalgia trip. It’s a survival story from the VHS trenches. Retail trauma, corporate absurdity, and dark humour collide in this brutally honest #memoir. #indieauthor #newbookalert
Out 17 Feb. Paperback & ebook.

Which horrendous gang is this mum associated with to be detained by #ICE? What are her crimes, apart from her skin colour and speaking Spanish? #FUCKICE

It's BS! They had their little fragile egos bruised when they failed to detain someone, so they decided to take it out on protestors. They were on the other side of the street. They instigated the whole thing and then shot Alex Pretti 10 times. #FUCKICE

#ICE agents were chasing someone on the other side of the road, and because they failed to detain that person, they decided to alleviate their fragile feelings and bruised egos by violently pushing around protesters, and fired 10 bullets into #AlexPretti #FUCKICE

I want to know where his phone is and what is on it. I also want to know that the people who witnessed this execution and gave statements are safe.

The final moments of Alex Pretti's life were spent trying to help a woman who was violently pushed to the ground by a disgusting #ICE thug. He was pepper sprayed at close range, tackled to the ground and then executed. #fuckice #fucktrump #fucknoem #fuckbovino #fuckvance #fuckmiller

Remember when Republicans screamed about how poorly J6 offenders were being treated in prison? ACTUAL criminals? Yeah. So do I.
