Have a wonderful Thursday. Made this latte for my wife. Anyone else want a latte? #lesbianlife

I turn 60 later this year. And I’m still trying to figure things out. Particularly how to build a following of readers who enjoy my urban fantasy and thrillers. As part of my morning meditation, I open myself up to an abundance of creativity, ideas, love, gratitude, and joy. Success will follow.

I've always been an early adopter of tech. I wrote my first stories longhand, then on a manual typewriter. I've evolved to using WordPerfect, then MS Words, and now Scrivener.

Inspired by NPR’s Tiny Desk shelves. This is one of my bookshelves. Zoom in to see all the interesting things on my shelf. Books by me and others, faeries, goddesses, Buddhas, candles, tarot decks, a motorcycle license plate, and--hey, is that a real painted skull? Maybe.

Do you cringe when you start editing your rough drafts? No need to feel ashamed. Your rough drafts aren't shitty. They're just rough. You had to write the shitty words in order to write the better words. So stop shitting on your rough drafts. #authorsky #booksky #amwriting #writinglife

I started writing because I was sick of how trans characters were portrayed in crime fiction. I wanted badass trans characters who pushed back against the bigoted stereotypes. So I started writing them. And readers, both trans and cis, loved them. dharmakelleher.com #queermysteries

Happy Imbolc to my fellow pagans! To my non-pagan friends, Imbolc represents the promise of the coming spring and new beginnings, when the snowdrops and crocuses burst through the frozen ground. It represents hope. Cling to the promise of spring. Embrace hope! #Resist

I remember those days. This is spot on. Keep fighting, keep dancing. #resist

During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for. It didn’t look like we were going to win then, and we did. It doesn’t feel like we’re going to win now but we could. Keep fighting. Keep dancing.

It’s easy to get caught into a despair spiral. Especially if you have cPTSD like I do. But gratitude can reverse it into a spiral of hope. It changes the direction of our thinking from negative to positive.

You are not alone. The forces of love & light are greater than the forces of darkness. Seek out & spend time with like-minded people. In person, if possible. My local Unitarian Universalist congregation is where I found community. Find & spend time with people who love and support you. #resist

I see you doomscrolling, jonesing for positive news in a sea of negativity. 💩 But it's soul-sucking & makes you more miserable. 😩 Instead, curl up with a good book where a 🏳️‍🌈 heroine triumphs against the forces of cruelty & bigotry. Did I mention it's FREE? 🙌 bookhip.com/BFMGGRA #booksky

This country really could be great if we chose love over hate, empathy over apathy, generosity over greed, diversity over bigotry, integrity over corruption, & compassion over cruelty. As the administration chooses the worst choices, it is up to each of us to make the better choice. #resist

Show up means speaking up when you hear transphobic comments. It means supporting trans-led organizations. It means voting, protesting, and using whatever privilege and platform you have to push back against hate. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #NoRoom4Hate

I wrote Blood & Fire as a prequel novel to the Jinx Ballou Bounty Hunter series. I wanted readers to see why Jinx quit her job as a Phx cop to be a professional bounty hunter. And how she first meets Conor Doyle, who she marries later in the series. #booksky #lgbtfiction #thrillers #resist 1/
