Everything's more fun if it's a vice!😂

My best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in your life, and it can become a vice if you play your cards right.

When someone asks, "What is it?" and someone else answers, "It's a mystery!" I sincerly hope this is what they're talking about 😂

So, does this mean that in the postmodern era the Author is God? 🤔

Because I already have more hubris than I'll ever be able to use 😜😂

Last night, I started rereading "And Never Let Her Go: Thomas Capano: The Deadly Seducer" by Ann Rule. Published in 2000.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/102916

I've reread this book several times. Each time I do, I'm so thankful for the life I have. I'm my own person, and that gives me great peace of mind. People can sometimes get themselves into absolutely monstrous situations. Ann Rule's books are among my favorites. She had such a gift for crime writing.

The first Science of Discworld book gets 4/5 stars... I think, wait let me check my math.The Science parts got 3 and the Wizard parts got 5 so if you add 'em up carry the 1, always carry the one, divide by two you get 4... I think.Unless we take into account that the Science chapters were longer than the Wizard chapters, wigheted data-points and all that, but a little lying to children is to be expected, it is #Discworld after all, the narrativum has to go somewhere.

What happens when the grammar police inevitably gets corrupted? 🤔 Is that where slang comes from? 😁

🎉new book release!🎉

My latest book, Rogue & Vagabond, is now available everywhere* in ebook and print.

Gabe Ward, tasked with protecting a young girl, hides out at an isolated Northamptonshire estate – and comes face to face with the man he spent a pleasant evening with at the Rogue and Vagabond eight months ago.

It already has a very nice, organic review, here (mild spoilers):
https://everybookadoorway.com/sunday-soupcons-53/

Find it at your favourite retailer (also Kobo Plus and Everand):
books2read.com/roguevagabond

At bookshop.org
https://bookshop.org/p/books/rogue-vagabond-wendy-palmer/18bee960397171a7

Or direct from me:
https://wendypalmer.au/bookshop/

It's also on Hoopla, and you can request it from your library.

*except Amazon, because that special little 800-pound gorilla won’t even *begin* publishing D2D-distributed books until release date, so it’s still working its way through the AI-flooded queue over there.
(And except the Google store, since they're so hard to work with D2D gave up even trying.)

Surrounded by a curlicued black border, Rogue & Vagabond is written in large letters in the centre. Rogue is in a rough newspaper-type font, and a dark-haired smirking man in a brown coat is half-leaning on the E. Vagabond is in an elegant swishy font, the line of the V paralleling the arm of a tall blond man in a burgundy coat. Behind the & is a little gnome, staring out blankly at us.
