An auction to support the Georgia races to GOTV and turn the US Senate BLUE!Now through November 24th!
Several awesome members of Romancelandia (Courtney Milan, Alyssa Cole, and Bree & Donna, the brilliant team who are Kit Rocha) have created a fundraising auction to support fellow romance author and political powerhouse, Stacey Abrams, in her fight to stop rampant voter suppression and bring fairness to the elections in Georgia as their two senate seats are up for grabs in a special election in January.I'm all in. In addition to directly donating money to the three great groups that Romancing the Runoff supports (Fair Fight, Black Voters Matter, The New GA Project), I've donated three unique items to the auction:1. Zoom chat for readers! You and up to seven friends will hang out with me in my Zoom room, where we'll discuss romance novels, life in 2020, recommended TV and movie viewings, our plans for the future, more romance novels.

And, no, I'm so sorry, I still haven't finished the revisions for KING'S RANSOM (Thomas and Tasha's book, TDD #13), because I believe that saving democracy and crushing the craven, hateful GOP comes first! :-)Plus the anxiety from the election nearly killed me, so I'm still moving really slowly. (I still wholly support voting on paper by mail! Please continue to VOTE BLUE BY MAIL, Democrats!!)But I'll get KsR done and out in ebook sometime between now and November 2022. Time is meaningless these days anyway as too many idiots refuse to accept science and wear masks, and the pandemic drags on and those of us who are at risk remain locked in our homes going slowly mad, unable to see our children and grandchildren. (If you're craven & hateful and/or an idiot, scroll down to find the unsub button and use it. No need to write to tell me that I've offended you, since I have exactly zero fucks left to give. Have a nice day!)
That's it! That's all the news for now! Thank you for your time and attention! Please feel free to email, blog, post, tweet, and/or share any or all of my news with your social circle! I appreciate it when you do!Wash your hands, wear a mask, stay outside (ventilation matters!), WEAR A MASK!!,Suz
