So I just did a thing. I was just on the Dr. Laura Schlessinger Show promoting my books Bad Dates and 128 Small Things You Can Do Right Now To Make the World a Better Place.

Here's the thing - if we all ignored Hasan Piker, he would go away. He might even try to say nice things about America if we reward him for it. Hasan says whatever he thinks will get the most clicks, and that means trashing our country. So stop rewarding him for trashing our country!!!!!!!! This is not rocket science. Thank you for coming to my Red Talk.

FFS @Apple you can make all kinds of really cool stuff, and yet you still wait until the absolute last minute to remind me to charge my mouse. Always when I'm in the middle of something crucial. Remind me the night before!! It can charge while I sleep. How difficult can that be?

"Holiday shopping question: who on your list needs a laugh? I have a small stack of signed copies of 128 Small Things and Ginger Snapped, and just 3 of Bad Dates until next week. I'll personalize them to whoever you're gifting. $15.99 each, plus $6 shipping for up to three books. Order through the link in my bio, or pay with X Money and DM me your address and who to sign it to."

You guys are never going to guess what song is stuck in my head, even though every one of you have had it stuck in your head.

The All Are Welcome Here crew strikes again. Why are the ones who demand tolerance always the ones who are so intolerant? And how awful it must be to be so angry all the time. I'm not a fan of any of the DFL elected leaders in my state, and that includes Ilhan Omar, but I don't spend more than a few minutes thinking about them. And that's only because they are in the news constantly. This woman probably goes to bed seething every evening because Trump walks the planet. That's a sad way to live the one life you've been given.

The temps dropped nearly 30 degrees so we're officially in soup weather. Drop your favorite soup recipe in the comments, please. 👇🍜.

Here's her brother who is a little more adventurous.

This is the life I was meant to live.

I think I'm coming down with a man cold.

Wow. This is big. Duluth is dark blue, like the Twin Cities. If Bernie is upstate hitting the trail for Flanagan ... ...Tafoya is probably going to win.

My Grokbot is adding all my books to Ingram and making the adjustments to the covers and all the other things I missed when I started this journey. This is an amazing time saver. My Grokbot has also created a marketing plan with items I would have never considered on my own. This is a game changer for indie authors.

I'm so sick of Halloween and all its sequels on nonstop play. I'm sick of most of the Halloween movies, have they made one in the recent past that was interesting? In other words - I'm looking for a good Halloween movie that isn't a slasher flick, or gory scary like the Saw movies. Basically I want a Hallmark Halloween movie. Are there any you recommend?
