If you could have lunch with any author, dead or alive, who would you pick? Any idea what you would eat?

In 2021, do you want in person or virtual literary festivals and webinars?

[Meghan Redmile @AuthorMRedmile]

Love isn't usually on the selfless Corporal’s side; at least faithful friends are. But it’s one thing for your buddy to ask if you have his back in the trenches, it’s another to ask you to love his widow if he dies #PITMAD #A #HF

[Meghan Redmile @AuthorMRedmile]

Sees the good in everyone
But blinded by empty promises
Listens to his heart more than his gut
And regrets the times he bit his tongue

Nazis defeated and uniform hung up, his biggest fight will be with his heart, having promised to give it to his friend’s widow #PITMAD #A #HF

[Meghan Redmile @AuthorMRedmile]

Fear of snakes, open water, and whether he’ll make it to the next trench cannot be compared to the day he’ll need to share a letter with his best friend’s widow.

Some promises cannot be backed out of #PITMAD #A #HF

One of the girls in my 9 year old’s class just said “My favorite author, other than myself, is Judy Blume,” and that’s the energy I want to see from all women writers going forward

Surveys reveal that people have almost doubled the amount of time they spend reading books since the lockdown began. For good reason! See our latest newsletter for the Lockdown Fiction Bundle. Books by @LesleyTrites David Bouchet, and @MulloyPmulloy. https://t.co/omeoD0aBC1
