Paperback I guess, not a strong preference. Series if it's good. Laughs. Coffee. Hero. Character-driven. Pen & paper. Sweet. I make soundtracks for my stories. Bookmark, I'm not a monster. Pantser, mostly. Minimalist. Slow craft. Midnight.

After 2 weeks of no activity, 3 books were gone from my #LittleFreeLibrary this morning. I get positively giddy when I know it's being used.

Um, so this happened. "Yay! All Queer: Free & Queer" is coming soon from Inkd Publishers with my story, "Victorious Love."

Irresponsibly posting my location on social media
A brown sign with an arrow indicates "Tank museum 1 and 1/2 miles. Monkey World 1 mile."

Above the sign is written, "Cant help but feel we're playing with fire here."

On a background of space and stars, cover of "The Cosmic Turkey" by Laura Ruth Loomis. Book is blue, with a cartoon spaceship orbiting a candy-covered planet. Underneath the title, it says, "Give us chocolate or give us death!"

Beside the book, a quote: "The Cosmic Turkey is hilarious! Reminiscent of Douglas Adams, this book is just what the doctor ordered for these times." - Sage Blackwood, author of the Jinx trilogy.
