Quote from article: Cult leaders, demanding absolute loyalty, are typically psychopaths, putting their own needs and desires above those of their followers. They drain them of their money and mercilessly exploit them for power, sex, adulation, and status. They don’t give a damn about their followers beyond what the followers will do for or give to them.

#PennedPossibilities 330 — How does your MC go about expressing or not expressing their sexuality?

Suetonius, like many gladiators, is pimped out by his lanista -- and he's very popular with the clients. When he falls hard for Drusilla, his experience is translated into tenderness.

#WordWeavers
5/30 — Are you comfortable writing from the POV of a child? Written any?

One of my characters in "In The Eye of The Storm" and "Through the Opera Glass," Clarice, is a child when we first encounter her, and a teenager later on. I admit that she was rather like me as a kid, bookish and rather serious. I found it easy to take some of my childhood experiences and translate them to her life during and after WWII.

This is an important and interesting article. It primarily focuses on traditional publishing, but it does highlight the challenges inherent in marketing. I'm not good at pretending to be someone or something I'm not, especially in the service of my art.

Okay, I totally suck at flower/tree/plant identification, so I don't know what these are, but they're in front of my mom's house. Hydrangeas, maybe? #bloomscrolling

#PennedPossibilities 326 — Do any of your characters have a favorite place that they've ever visited?

Characters in both "Bayou Fire" and "Pompeii Fire," as well as my current #wip, are travel writers. I've never really considered whether they have a favorite place that they've visited, if I'm honest ... but I suspect sentimental attachments to particular spots all the same. #nospoilers
