Book Christmas yesterday when both my author copies and my bookmarks came in! #writesky #writercommunity #booksky

A box of paperback copies of The After Afterlife of Nora Iverson. The cover is a pop art style with a yellow background and an image of a woman screaming.

A box of bookmarks for The After Afterlife of Nora Iverson. One side has the book cover, 5 stars, and quotes from reviews that say "So much fun!", "Laugh out loud read!" and "Not your typical mid-life crisis!" The other side has a quote from the opening line of the book - "There was something terribly ironic about keeling over dead in front of the "Personal Care and Health" section of Books and Brews, but Nora was a little too freaked out about being dead to enjoy it."

I feel like 59 things is a lot of things for Amazon to know about me and I'm not sure if I should be offended that they pegged me as a lazy bulk buyer who reads extensively. (All of which is absolutely true.)

From the second book in my cozy-ish mystery series that I hope to release before the end of the year. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Text on a black background that says - The walls of the maintenance shed were lined with tools and gardening equipment, with gas powered edgers and weed eaters hanging toward the back. Just inside the door, a few shovels hung on hooks while several more leaned against the wall below them. Leon picked up a shovel that was leaning near the front. It looked a little newer than the others and had a black rubber grip around part of the handle. Leon frowned at it.
“I don’t think this one’s ours.”
Lois watched him turn it over, then angle the blade toward the light from the open doorway.
“What the hell?” he said suddenly.
“Is that blood?”

🧵 I am a child of the 60's who grew up in central Texas. I didn't know there was music other than country until almost my teens. And the women of country - Loretta, Tammy, Dolly, etc. - filled most of my record shelf (along with Willie, of course). Dolly released at least one album a year (1/6)

I don't have a yard but if I did, I'd have this sign.

A version of the "In this house, we believe" sign but this one says MAGA is a cult, Donald Trump can go fuck himself, Christian nationalists are terrorists, JD Vance is a wet paper towel, their trials need to be televised, America won't be great again until these dipshits are gone.

I love it when random photo memories pop up like this. Whale sightings are common on our part of the coast but I didn't realize I had caught this until I got home that afternoon and was scrolling through. #photography #naturephotography #fromthearchives

Remembering the morning after the Pulse nightclub shooting when I went for a walk on the pier and this guy popped up to remind me that there were still some good things in the world.

My book is free today! It's a character driven, feel good story with limited angst & a romance story line, but no spice. If it sounds like a good fit, help yourself. An Amazon review or rating would be appreciated if you're so inclined. a.co/d/01yaIuWo 💙📚 #booksky #writerlife #indieauthor

A graphic featuring the cover of a digital version of The Life We Write with text that says Free on Kindle Today. Grab your copy before midnight. A warm, witty story about second chances, creative courage, and the risk of opening your life to new things after it's been completely dismantled.

It turned into a dark and stormy day, a few years back when we took a whale watching trip out of the Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay, CA. It started off sunny and cool but while we were out, the clouds rolled in and the rain started. It was beautiful. #photography #pacificocean #fromthearchives
