That way, if one comes to a wall, I can plug away at the other until the inspiration comes back. Sometimes I just have to shake things up a bit.

Also reading. Reading is always an answer.(less)

2 with betas, 2 more on deck

Both Letters from a Middle-Aged Ninja and Shelley on the Edge of Wonder are with beta readers, so I'm waiting for their feedback to guesstimate release dates. The first is a series of life lessons gleaned from my years in martial arts, and the second is a biography of my mother's travels in the 1950s. I anticipate both will be released before mid September.

This is While You Were Sleeping 2.0 -- a loving tribute to the movie, full of Easter Eggs for those who loved the original romcom.

This was a well-written reimagination of the Bill Pullman/Sandra Bullock Christmas romcom. This time it's set in the Co

Imaginative!

I enjoyed this brief glimpse at what it might have been like to meet Shakespeare writing in a pub like a modern novelist in a coffee shop. Very clever interactions.

The ending switched gears a bit rapidly for me, so I got confused there,

Quotes by Lia London  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“And the kingdom was very peaceful indeed. This, however, was not due to any brilliant reigning philosophy constructed by her father, King Abnegolde, or any skill he had in creating a functional bicameral legislative body made up of representatives from the peasant farmers', blacksmiths', woodcutters' or millers' guilds.”
Lia London, Of Mice and Momphibraks

“Jane looked up at her friend and smiled. “You are a genius! Now rinse and spit.” She dove into the water. “I gotta go see a man about a horse.”
Lia London, The Damsel's Distress

“Looney was humming a daffy tune in between loud snores, and Smarmy seemed to be practicing his grin.”
Lia London, Saccharine White
