Happy Monday!
TB had an extremely difficult weekend. Her back spasms reached the point last week that she had to make an emergency doctor's appointment to get muscle relaxers. Which are working ever so slowly. At least she's no longer screaming in pain (and/or crying) whenever she has to stand. Hopefully in another week, there won't be any pain. Although, there are times when TB has given up the hope that she'll ever be pain free.
During all of this, TB and Miranda are on a tight writing deadline. The joys of being self-employed in single income households. There's no such thing as paid time off for indie writers.

Author Name Scramble
For this game, we'll scramble a sapphic author's name, allowing you to work it out. In Tuesday's newsletter, we'll share the answer along with a new author name scramble.
All of the letters for the author's first and last name are below, but we don't guarantee that the letters are in the correct part of the name or that the first and last names have the same number of letters as the scramble.
Saturday's scramble was: Joly Nen--the answer is Jen Lyon
Here's today's scramble:
Luzeth Billyae
Remember, the answer will be revealed in Tuesday's newsletter. Hint, the author is involved in this week's reading challenge.

Patreon Author of the Week & Guess the Author Features
Even before TB was struck down by debilitating back pain, she had this week marked off on her calendar not to work on the website (she still has to write) since it's her birthday week. She had envisioned taking the time off to enjoy her favorite things, but all she can manage right now is taking her medicine and sleeping. She does plan to have cake.
Author of the Week and Guess the Author will return the week of May 26.
