@LZats I would be a frighteningly efficient second in command for a cult leader. The master of shadows behind the figurehead; that's my sweet spot.

@airfrance The end of my year would be better if you'd respond to my DM of November 23. Maybe take a break from posting to reply to the thousands (tens of thousands?) of customers you've ghosted.

[Sandra Schmidtke @SNSchmidtke]

@airfrance It is now Dec 15 and still dealing with this issue. Sure, you DM'd... to ask if I still needed help. I said I did, and every message since has been automated. Not one has been about my issue. Your customer service is non-existent. There is no excuse for this.

Family - an emotion-laced word eliciting dark feelings when the family tradition is to throw away the firstborn. Reese, Sasha, Jael, Finn, CJ, Adelfried. All are orphans. All are magical. All are Einsteins. This is their story. #A #CON #HF #PitMad

[Sandra Schmidtke @SNSchmidtke]

@LaiWritingBy It's basically my religion.

Eislynn’s got no friends. Well, except one—a demon who haunts her dreams every night and subsists on nightmares. But he’s not just her friend for her benefit; in fact, he’s making good on a deal he claims they struck when she was a child. #PitMad #YA/#NA #F #S #LGBT

LEGENDBORN X REALM BREAKER

Olivia never imagined she’d travel back in time to Camelot. Nor that she’d meet a famous sorcerer, and the prince she always admired would be so infuriating—and charming.
But to return home she must protect him—not fall in love.

After her guild is attacked, an assassin enters a foreign realm to make the responsible monarch pay.
She doesn’t expect her revenge to be cut short by people trying to revive a dead goddess- or for the monarch’s son to become her greatest ally in stopping them #PitMad #YA #DIS #F
