676. Exploring Atonement Sky with Nalini Singh

When I record with Nalini Singh, since she’s in New Zealand and I’m on the east coast of the US, it’s weird hours for both of us – so thank you to Nalini for speaking to me bright and early in the morning.

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.

Is it Wednesday? Who knows anymore! I sure don’t. I’ve redownloaded Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey because mentally, I just want to be a buff lady, sneaking up on dudes, and giving them a violent dirt nap. Last time I played in on a console, but I’m trying PC out because I’d rather be cozy in my gaming chair with a beachy candle burning than downstairs on my couch where we don’t have a mini split installed. I’m … Continue reading Links: Cowboy Romance, K-Dramas, & More
