So I posted the hardcover, and I realized too late that I had somehow missed the “h” in Elizabeth. So the title is “Elizabet: Heritage Journey: A series Collection.” Amazon won’t let me change it in KDP or Author Central. The only way I can change it is to unpublish it and try again. After…
The past few weeks have been crazy-busy, but what else is new? Since it was hot, I had to be out more often, making sure the chickens had water and stay cool. And I’ve been organizing the kitchen more. It’s nice to not have to look for something to make myself a basic breakfast. But…

After writing the last short story on Blogger, I thought I would give it another shot (see the original; I edited this one a little). Prologue: The wise white wizard in his white flowing robes. The wind made them flutter around him as he turned towards the other white wizard. “Wise friend.” He stroke…

Wιɳƚҽɾʂ (@UKHamlet) October 17, 2022 A while back on Facebook, someone else has also posted these rules, and I…
