Aaah! I just finished Birnam Wood last night and that ending. That ending! After your review here, I knew it was headed downhill, but wow. I grabbed this one on a flight back last month without knowing anything about it and am so glad I did. Love your random book selects!

Hi Natalie! Depending on timing specifics, I'm interested in the Summer Seedlings workshop. (Took a Literary Arts online course from you a few years back and loved it!)

Online scams are so weird, and even weirder are the scam phone calls people (usually older people) get. It's so despicable. Probably why one of my guilty pleasures is watching the Scammer Payback videos on Youtube.

My mom fell prey to the Grammie scam. Someone called and said, “Grandma, I need help. Please don’t tell my parents.” She said his name back to the caller and they then had her. “Yes, it’s me. I need money.” My mother then said, “You know I don’t have any money.” And that was that. Though she called us, very rattled.

And, no such thing as a guilty pleasure! Unless you’re harming yourself or someone else. Sounds like Scammer Payback is something I should watch.

Thanks for reading! xN

I'm curious about the summer writing, but it's very date dependent for me, so hoping to hear more about it.

I'm interested in your summer online workshop but summer travel with a +9 hour difference would likely mean missing the first two weeks. Please let me know if there's a second session beginning in August or later.

Seeing your newsletter pop up in my InBox is always a welcome shot of endorphins; thank you! I'm looking forward to listening to your new playlist. The Summer Playlist got my sweetie and me dancing again in the kitchen, and it had been much too long since we did that. Yay!
