LAST TIME I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, THE BOARD AT THE END OF MY BED SAID IN REALLY LARGE LETTERS “I WANT TO GO HOME” AND I LEFT AS SOON AS I COULD. IT’S OKAY. BEING AN AUTOCRATIC STRONGMAN IS LESS OF A SHOCK AFTER THE LEFT IN MY FIELD INSISTED I WAS A WHITE MORMON MALE:  CNN’s Stelter: Trump Leaving Hospital Is Move of Autocratic Strongman.

And seriously, no. We used to have this thing called individual responsibility.  Having control over leaving the hospital when you have no visible symptoms is not in fact the same as invading Poland. Perhaps Stelter should try to be less of a whiny Weakman.

FROM MARGARET BALL, (AND SHE SAYS INSPIRED BY MY OWN WITCHFINDER):   Tangled Magic: A Regency fantasy romance.

After waiting ten long years for Richart Dalkey to realize she’s no longer the awkward young girl he grew up with, Elspet is thrilled when he finally comes to pay her court . . . until he divulges the true reason for his visit. His proposition? A sham engagement to discourage debutante Dorothea Turvoll, who’s infatuated with Richart and whom his mother wants him to marry. Elspet convinces him to pretend he’s desperately in love with her and actually court her instead, certain that with time—and a little bit of magic—he’ll see they’re meant to be together.
But another woman in Din Eidyn has her sights set on Richert, as well as some dark magic of her own, and she’ll stop at nothing to win the one man who can give her the social standing she desperately desires. Before long, the charade gets out of hand, and as scandal engulfs the ton, Elspet must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice for the love she’s always wanted.

WHEN YOU’RE NEAR A LEFTIST CHARACTER ASSASSINATION, YOU MIGHT GET RUN OVER… AND MAYBE ALL OF US WILL NEED TO CLIMB UP SATAN’S ANUS BEFORE ALL IS SAID AND DONE:  Satan’s Anus: Dishwashing through the Pandemic.

FROM ELLIE FERGUSON: A Magical Portent.

Storm clouds gather. An unknown danger nears, one that may spell the end of Mossy Creek, TX, and all those who live there.

Dr. Jax Powell and her best friends, her sisters from other misters, are determined to do whatever it takes to protect their town and loved ones. Each of them, once considered the town’s wayward children, have returned home. All but one: Magdalena “Maddy” Reyes. She’s not refused to return to Mossy Creek, but she appears to have dropped off the face of the Earth—or at least from the streets of Dublin.

Can they find Maddy and save their town or is it already too late?

A Magical Portent is novella-length story that follows Rogue’s Magic.
