Something I feel I need to say. Block, delete and unfollow me if you can’t agree.

I am NEVER going to stop fighting.

NEVER.

I am going to fight until the death for my daughter, my granddaughter, my nieces and my sisters-in law.

And yours, too.

I am going to fight for all my LGBTQ+ friends – and yes, I have many!

I am going to fight for the right to say and write what I want.

I am going to fight against racism, hatred of women, bigotry, isolationism, corporate greed, and fascism.

I am going to stop supporting businesses and people who don’t support basic human rights, reproductive rights, workers rights and just common decency when it comes to how we treat one another.

I am no better than the person standing next to me. We are all equals in God’s eyes.

I will not listen to, nor support, hate speech of any kind. On my platforms or in my life. You come at me with the reasons and justifications for why you feel the bigoted, hateful way you do and you’re gonna get shut down, deleted, and forgotten.

I was raised with the edict that you treat everyone equally, be it the richest man in the world or the person who shines your shoes. And that treatment is with kindness, love, and support.

And I do.

If you do, too, then stay my friend.

If you don’t? Bye, Felicia.

Rant over. Go ahead and do the block, delete, unfollow thing if you can’t bring yourself to be my friend after knowing that about me. We will both be better off.

Honor them. You are free because of them.

So.

It’s been a week.

Actually, it’s been a wild two years.

How are you doing? I’ll be honest…I’m not okay.

Not even close.

We failed our assignment in this country. We had one job: to ensure the future for our children. We didn’t. We just sentenced them to suffering and heartache, both physical and emotional, for decades to come.

I had such grand hopes that this country was finally going to grow up and do the right thing. Kamala Harris was, and is, the most qualified person to ever run for President. She is not only smart, she is fearless, gracious, kind, and has a backbone of steel. She cares – truly cares- about the people in this country. All Americans, not just the rich, white, privileged ones.

The individual who won? None of those things.

In fact, the polar opposite.

Vice President Harris ran a campaign based on hope for the future. Economic change to benefit the working class, help to people who want to better themselves through higher education, and social change to ensure safety and justice for all. Restoring and maintaining reproductive rights for your women.

Her opponent ran a campaign based on fear, racism, misogyny, homophobia, and greed. Oh, and because he wanted to stay out of jail.

And lies. So many lies. It’s been asked, how do you know he’s lying? Answer: Well, he’s speaking, isn’t he?

To say I am furious is an understatement. To say I’m terrified? Without a doubt. Not for myself, but for my daughter, granddaughter, and nieces. Their lives and futures are now hanging in the balance. And that’s not over-dramatizing the situation. They will have no autonomy over their bodies, their lives, their decisions when Project 2025 is implemented – and don’t doubt it will be. The Trumpublican party now controls all 3 branches of government plus the Supreme Court.

We will be living in a fascist dictatorship overseen by a little, tyrannical toddler of a man-child who has an enemies list like a bully in third grade. Not only a convicted felon and convicted rapist, but someone who believes people who disagree with him should be put in front of a firing squad.

Congratulations America. This is what you voted for.

I hope you are happy and well.

Oh, and one more thing: you think prices are high now and that’s the reason you claim you didn’t vote for Vice President Harris? Wait until they go even higher because of the tariffs the Trumpublicans are implementing. Think 1929 was a bleak year? Wait until 2025 when you can’t find food to eat that you can afford, you lose your job because companies can’t pay salaries since no one is buying their products – again because they can’t afford to pay the higher prices – and your daughters and wives are unable to get basic human health care because their doctors are afraid of being arrested.

Don’t be upset when your kids’ teeth start to rot because the new head of HHR has eliminated fluoride from the water system.

Don’t be mad when your kids can’t read because teachers are now extinct.

Don’t get your panties in a twist when you can’t afford insurance rates and a hurricane or any other natural, climate change event occurs. Oh, but wait – you don’t believe in climate change, just like the individual you voted for doesn’t.

I could go on and on, but I’m tired. I’m so tired.

I just circled November 3, 2026 on my calendar. That’s the date for the midterm elections – if the Trumpublicans haven’t outlawed elections by then.

I’m starting right now, right this minute, to ensure things change when that date comes.

Forget a blue wave.

Let’s make it a blue tsunami.

Here’s hoping ~ Peg

So I’m doing something different for my next release. I’m going to be selling print copies of RETRIBUTION directly from my website. The link is on the menu on the home page, but I’ll provide it here, too. The cost is $15.00 per book and that includes shipping and handling. Now, this offer is only available to US residents because shipping costs overseas are prohibitive. In that case, if you want the print book Amazon is the best place to get it.

One advantage of getting it from me is that it’s autographed!

Here’s the direct link to getting the book: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjUQmo2awwfvrFZtf-2Ix7U-Gt6vFFLm4KDVOtBx0xvO2cbQ/viewform?usp=sharing

Last week I did my top 5 non-fiction favorite books. This week, the fiction ones. And you’ll be surprised that they’re not all romance books (!).

1. THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now. Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career. Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.
2. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE  Do I really need to synopsis this one? LOL
3. NAKED IN DEATH The first EVE DALLAS book.
   In the year 2058, technology completely rules the world. But for New York City Detective Eve Dallas, one irresistible impulse still rules the heart: passion…
   
   Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting for a ruthless killer. In over ten years on the force, she’s seen it all—and knows her survival depends on her instincts. And she’s going against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, an Irish billionaire—and a suspect in Eve’s murder investigation. But passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it’s up to Eve to take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about—except the addictive hunger of needing his touch.
4. New York TO DALLAS My favorite of the series. When a monster named Isaac McQueen—taken down by Eve back in her uniform days—escapes from Rikers, he has two things in mind. One is to take up where he left off, abducting young victims and leaving them scarred in both mind and body. The other is to get revenge on the woman who stopped him all those years ago.
    
5. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS ( Novella) my favorite Christmas romance. Identical twin boys Zeke and Zach only want one gift from Santa this year: a new wife for their lonely single dad, Mac Taylor, a builder who fixes things up in their small town. But convincing their love-wary dad that their music teacher, Nell Davis, is not only part of Santa’s plan, but Mac’s soul mate, isn’t quite as easy as they’d hoped…
6. FRENCH SILK , My favorite Sandra Brown book. When she becomes a murder suspect, a New Orleans beauty and lingerie tycoon must share her most deeply buried secrets with a disturbingly handsome district attorney in order to clear her name.
   
   Like the city of New Orleans itself, Claire Laurent is a vibrant beauty laced with mystery. As the founder of French Silk, a fabulous lingerie company, she has fought hard to achieve worldwide success. Then a TV evangelist attacks French Silk’s erotic sleepwear as sinful. And when he is killed, Claire becomes the prime suspect.
   
   District Attorney Robert Cassidy knows Claire is damning herself with lie after lie about the murder, even as he feels her drawing him into her world and her very soul. But neither Cassidy nor her protests of innocence can save Claire unless she reveals a shocking truth — one she has sworn to take to the grave . . .

Okay, so it’s 6 but one of them is a novella so that only counts for half, lol!
