I'm struggling a bit with allergies, but am going to suck it up and deal with it. One of the dearest people in the world asked me what I thought the allergy trigger might be, and I said abstinence.
Hello ladies.
Actually I got to talking to this same wonderful person, and we started on the subject of Doctor Who. Because really, any conversation with me is inevitably about Who, The Muppets or my books.
But, I happened to mention to this person in question that the character of Bernie, the sexy, flirty, awesome M.D. from the book series was based in part on the Martha Jones character, played by Freema Agyeman.
However, this wonderful and kind friend pointed out that she, alright it's a girl I was talking to. That's right peeps, I'm TALKING TO GIRLS! But, she said that Bernie always struck her as a more mature, sassy character. Like Dr. Cox's wife from Scrubs.
So, I guess what I'm saying is, even though an author might have a picture in their mind of what a character MIGHT look like, chances are, the reader views something completely different.
And speaking of something completely different!
Proudly presents!
My dear and awesome friend TM Smith has a new book out.

Smith is an avid reader, reviewer and writer. She now calls Texas home from her
small town on the outskirts of the DFW Metroplex. Most days you can find her
curled up with her kindle and a good book alongside a glass of something aged
and red or a steaming cup of coffee!
At 42 years young, she’s decided to enter the next phase of her life by adding the title of “author” to her list of accomplishments that includes single mom of three disturbingly outspoken and decidedly different kids, one of which is Autistic.
