A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping.

This is what tyranny looks like in Trump’s America. Imagine if Biden had Trump supporters pepper sprayed for videotaping.

Most writers try newfangled ways to get their books noticed. But what if an influencer (I don't know... maybe someone like @tomhanks) appreciates someone going old school? Time will tell. https://t.co/GulBKsLT8A

Just 1,000 miles and about a month away from a huge literal milestone with what I still think of as my "new car" (which will be 11 in August). I need my book sales to talk to the odometer and learn how to advance at a similar pace!

[Laurie O'Connor Stephans @LaurieOCS]

As promised, here is Episode #1 of Teaser Tuesday, in which I give you a sneak peek into one of the stories in my book, Once a Prompt a Time. 😁https://t.co/hP3FZd5loJ
Need a copy of the book? https://t.co/Qh4zCkg9K6 #onceapromptatime #countto10kbooktour #EveryStopCounts

[Laurie O'Connor Stephans @LaurieOCS]

It's been a good weekend for book sales! Only 9,872 more to reach my goal! Remember, in addition to paperback, Once a Prompt a Time is available as a ebook, starting tomorrow. Get either here: https://t.co/wHihEJkElT
And I'll see you in two days for Teaser Tuesday.

Retweet!

[Laurie O'Connor Stephans @LaurieOCS]

Slow and steady wins the race. Of course, fast and earth-shaking would be fine too! If you want to add to the count as I look toward selling 10,000 books by my 70th birthday next May, use the link below. Now available as a paperback AND an ebook! https://t.co/6YYEUXfEXP

As my mom spends her 16th Mother's Day in heaven, it seems a good time to rerun my 2016 blog post that highlights just some of the wonderful lessons I learned from her. Happy Mother's Day!
