13 ❤️, 13th secret about me: I pick up habits at random. Currently, I'm into jigsaw puzzles. But including the jewelry making I also do origami, crochet, and archery. I recently picked up some calligraphy pens, but I haven't really cottoned on to that. What hobbies do you enjoy?

11 ❤️s, 11th secret about me: Gosh, I hadn't thought I'd get over 10. What more can I tell you all? Not a secret, but did I mention I make maps 🗺️ for a living? Not a cartographer, but a Geographic Information Specialist. Spatial data monkey. So, of course, I did my own maps for my books. 😁

10 ❤️s, 10th secret about me: I have a bunion on my right foot. Well, I have one on my left, too, but it is not as bad. They are painful, but those toe-spacers help a ton. I don't want surgery. 😬

My bare feet with bunions on a door mat.

9 ❤️s, 9th secret about me: I don't think I have any OCD tendencies but... I keep track of my chapter feedback edits by hand. Not really a secret, but one of those editing steps I don't usually share with folks. 🤓

8 ❤️s, 8th secret about me: I'm not sure I have this many secrets! (Yes, I'm boring.) Let's see... Oh! I used to make jewelry for family and friends, but then I got back into writing. No more time for craft projects. 😕 But I have lots of books! 😜🙌🏽

3 ❤️s, 3rd secret about me: I'm incredibly impatient. I would rather eat a whole cake within an hour or two than save it to have a slice for a week. 😕

2 ❤️s, 2nd secret about me: I was a certified Burn Boss. Which means, I used to get paid to burn down forests. 😁

1 ❤️, 1 secret about me: I like to take pictures of my feet. 😒 No! It is *not* a fetish thing. It's like... Here. This is where I am in this moment. 🤷🏽‍♀️

View of the Sierra Nevada mountains beside a creek and my feet (with shoes). Clear blue sky.

Obligatory post about me. For every ❤️ this post gets, I'll reveal a (dark?) secret about me. Or it might be just what I had for breakfast. 😉 #authorsky #indieauthor #truths #writersky #readersky

Wow, I can't believe I haven't participated in this month's Fantasy Indies list. Best get to it... #FantasyIndiesSeptember 15: How would your characters describe you? My characters would think I was deranged, cruel, and dangerous. 😒 But I love them all, especially the ones I kill. 😯 #writersky

Just finished Alex van Wyst's latest book: Curse of the Crone. It's a cozy laugh-out-loud fantasy mystery series. The ending made me go aaawww. Highly recommended if you like irreverent stories with magical spells and a no nonsense sleuth FMC. #readersky #indieauthor #fantasyread

Awww, no one wants pictures of mushrooms? Where is the shroom love?

A close up of a small yellow flat topped mushroom among grass and old leaves. Dew covers everything.

Because I have too many photos taking up space on servers somewhere in a desert, I might as well foist them on the world here. 🤗 For every ❤️ this mushroom picture post gets, I'll post another mushroom picture. I have many so I'm hoping for lots of love! 🥰 #mushrooms #fridaypicture
