  1. @LianaBrooks *raises hand* (It's only occasionally, though.)
  2. If you know someone who has served, please pause & think about the price they may have paid so you can celebrate summer in freedom.
  3. "The Charge of the Light Brigade" was by Lord Alfred Tennyson, about the Battle of Balaclava, Crimean War, just one of many terrible wars.
  4. Today is Memorial Day in the US, when we honor the memories of those military who gave their skills, bodies, and lives to save others.
  5. "O the wild charge they made! All the world wonder'd. Honor the charge they made! Honor the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred!"
  6. "Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die. Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred."
  7. Enter the Petopian Wars (in 5 or less tweets) Challenge, tagged to me @JeanJAuthor, to win an Advance Copy of my 2nd #military #scifi novel!
  8. Petopian War: Describe interactions between you and your pet(s) in a quasi-war-correspondant or war-report style, a la my Chairvonian Wars.
  9. That's right; the person with the most amusing Petopian Wars story in 5 or less Tweets will win an ARC of AN OFFICER'S DUTY (releases 7/31)
  10. Okay, I've decided how to pick the winner of the Advance Reviewer's Copy of AN OFFICER'S DUTY. We're gonna have a Tweet-off!
  11. Dear Nigerian--oops, Nagasaki--banker's widow: Thanks for shifting your scams to the Far East. I was getting tired of hearing from Africa!
  12. ...For those who were wondering about the ARC of AN OFFICER'S DUTY, I apologize; I have been kidnapped by plot bunnies. Wrote 10k yesterday.
  13. Shock the pants off these very nice people! Keep it going! kickstarter.com/projects/15378…
  14. @Melb_Andyboi I...I don't even want to know what that is, do I? (lol) Man...this does make up for missing a couple days' work, earlier.
  15. 10,077 words in one day, booyaaah! *tiredbuthappyauthordance* *flops, snores*
  16. @MsMediaBeth That's why I hang my purse up out of cat-range. I've a bad enough time keeping Combat Advance Troop 1 off my office chair, lol.
  17. Chairvonian Wars: "And for the SEVENTH time today...!!"
  18. Chairvonian Wars: To CAT 1. "For the 6th time today, I don't CARE that you can occupy Chairvonia in 2 sec. flat, it's MY sacred homeland!"
  19. ...I have become a webcomic addict. Newspaper comics have been funny, yeah...but most webcomics have PLOT as well as humor. #Iloveplot
