Quick note…I promise to keep everyone updated on what I am reading and book recommendations. Right now I am deep into Kate Quinn’s latest New York Times bestseller The Astral Library and I am obsessed. More to come.

Also this warning from the Georgia police not to put canned martinis in kids lunches is killing me (and making me want a canned martini).

Now onto the matter at hand…..

Should I have another baby?

This is a question I actually asked myself yesterday morning.

I am giving away a one-year subscription to this substack FREE when you pre-order Parisian Heist from any bookstore. You can enter your details here. Preorders matter so much for getting this book attention so I am starting the hard push now. You can get personalized and signed copies from Bluebird here, but honestly just order wherever is easiest for you. You deserve nice things.
