Hey, H.B.S. We're here for Heaving Busam's Ask A Bad-Ass, where we spotlight readers and lovers of romance every week to show the world

the awesome multitudes you contain.

Make sure to join us on Monday, December 16th for a special episode.

Podcast Faith Tiffany Rice joined me to recap Mary Bellogg's A Christmas Promise and we had

oodles of fun. She continued her lifelong tradition of being an absolute

treasure and delight and even managed to deliver us some excellent hate-fucking.

Seriously, we don't know how she does it. And now we have Clippy herself, Anne C.

That's right, you get to hear from the personage that Aaron and I are always shouting at when we don't know facts.

She pulled off her green accountant's visor, came out from behind her lawyer lamp and typewriter, climbed her mountains of books in the most beautiful evening wear,

and delivered herself in all of her ink-smudged glory just for you. Here we go.

Hey Anne! Hello Natalie. How are you doing? I am doing excellent. How are you doing? I am doing excellent. How are you? I'm doing okay. I am wearing pajamas. Oh, um. I'm sitting with a warm blanket on my body because it is now fall,

very short fall season here in Illinois, becoming winter,

closer every day.

I'm not, so I'm not prepared.

I'm a cold weather person, but I need supplies,

pajamas, warm blankets, slippers, and gets like that.

So for those of you that don't know, I'm talking with Anne C.

Hello.

She wears many hats in the cult.

Usually most of them involve fact checking.

I'm your um Budsman.

Thank you.
