My poor little Watdon had a huge hematoma in his ear flap. They had to surgically repair it today.

One of the southern things I miss - Cajun boiled peanuts. So I made myself a pot. They are so good, but HOT. My throat burned for two days, lol.

Living in farm country, I'm used to seeing tractors on the road. This antique car was so slow, but fun to look at.

She’s always been pale, but now her fingers are almost translucent, dangling from beneath the blanket thrown on her. My hands ache with the need to touch her, but I keep them curled in my lap. #1stLinePit #Q #A #SPF #agentsguide #CON

@manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social Amelia is dragging me to the cafeteria, but I balk at the double doors. I refuse to participate in one more brain numbing gossip-fest with her BFF’s. If one person shows me a "cute kitten" meme, I'll tear out every throat in the room. #1stLinePit #YA #Q #C #F

Prologue- August 1987 “When I lay in the yard and stare at the sky, I look for Daddy to send me a signal from the stars. Mommy says he’s up there, exploring with other people. They are looking for new things to show us here on Earth. I think this is so cool!” #WIP #A #SF #SPF #CMe #1stLinePit

THE WEDDING PEOPLE x SANDWICH THIS ENDS NOW: A serial marriage-jilter hits a swanky wellness retreat to learn why she keeps fleeing perfect husbands. But healing means facing her nastiest ghost: the manipulative, brilliant 1st love whose poison still runs in her veins. #A #WF #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA
A collage of photos: a classic red Vermont farmhouse in autumn, with a low stone wall in the foreground; the title of the novel, “This Ends Now”; a dark-haired woman floating face upwards in water, surrounded by white flowers, her eyes open; a blazing bonfire at nightfall; a dark-haired man wearing glasses lying on the ground, in profile, with a dark-haired woman to his side, holding him; the interior of Yale University’s Sterling Memorial Library, showing a Gothic cathedral-like entrance; a man’s hand clasping a woman’s hand, with a snow-covered fir tree in the background.

“How about this Saturday?” Hesitating, I realise history isn’t my strong suit and so I have to add, “Does your time have Saturdays yet? Do you know what that is?”

Albert frowns, quirking his brow, before something registers and his eyes widen fearfully. “When the sun sets all the people of my primitive era quail in terror, our minds too addled to ever mark the passing of the days.”
 
“So…?”

“Yes!” Albert groans, a smirk creeping up his cheek, “Saturday is a known concept.”

Until she stooped to turn his body over, she'd not been scared. Just angry. Enough was enough. All evening she'd mingled, smiling woodenly at the other guests & downing far too many glasses of champagne while her husband rollicked around and made a fool of himself. And her. #1stLinePit #WIP #A #R #S
Mistaken identity hands a reporter a much-needed scoop. But when hunting a story becomes hunting a killer, she must work with the infuriating man she's fake-dating who'll soon know her real identity. He has good reason to hate her. And she's just realised she loves him.3 photos of Mont St Michel in Normandy. Photos of a female reporter writing at table, a catwalk model, a glass of red wine. Romantic pics of hands touching and a couple kissing. A scared woman, hands to her mouth; a woman coming down a staircase; and a lone man hanging his head in despair.

WHAT THE RIVER KNOWS X THE GIRL OF FIRE AND THORNS “The sunrise on the worst day of my life was blood-red. Its rays crawled like tenuous fingers over the copper-hued hills of the desert. A falcon glided on puffs of balmy air, with outstretched wings and tucked feet.” #1stLinePit #Q #YA #HF
