Anyone else excited about this RomCom from EWTN? So many similarities to the book I’m writing (my male protagonist is atheist/agnostic Jamie who falls in love with a devout Catholic girl).

Testing. FB tells me my page (they call it a business even though I’m not a business) has violated some idiotic rule again and they’re threatening to shut it down. So if you see this, would love for you to comment. But also if this page disappears then you’ll know why.

Supposedly I have been reported for pretending to be someone else.

So, just to be clear, this page (my page, whose post you’re reading right now) has been on Facebook since November 27, 2012.

I don’t know when this other page was started but it’s not me and I don’t know who they are and why they have the exact name I have. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083272197686

But also, andthesethygifts.com (the website, my website) has been in existence since 2004. You can check out my archives if you like.
