When I was six, and I got into regular beef with my kindergarten teacher over things like being forced to play on the "girl" side of the room with the baby dolls and kitchen set (I've never wanted to be "mommy"), being punished for knowing my alphabet and correcting her when I knew she was wrong.

This is my husband @hunterrose.bsky.social , 100%. Me, I'm somewhere in the middle. Like, how good is the food where we're meeting up? I could be tempted. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Date night with my Husbeast, @hunterrose.bsky.social 😍 We had Thai for dinner, walked around the Village, and ended our evening with the best strawberry hard ice cream in the world.

Crazy color, super soft sock #1 done, and now to cast on for the second. Strangely, in my over 20 years of knitting,.I've never had 'second sock syndrome'. #knitting Pattern: Nymphalidea Yarn: Malabrigo Sock in Euforia

74 years later, Pan Am flight 526A has finally been found and I'm floored. I grew up knowing that my great grandmother was on this flight and was one of the 52 people who died. (1/3) #puertorico youtube.com/watch?v=CqgZ...

I'm blessed to have a husband who finds worth in my passions and isn't afraid to find his own entry points to exploring them with me. Read this thread to learn about the witchcraft that is spinning yarn and how he comes at the physics of it. #yarn #spinningyarn And I effing LOVE this e-spinner! 😍

We decided to join the rest of our little town at the local ice cream place tonight. Place was slammed, but a great way to end a long weekend. My Husbeast worked hard today, he earned it. @hunterrose.bsky.social

One of a few songs I've been leaning heavily on over the last few weeks. I love the way she manipulates her voice in the last 1/4 of it, and I adore singing it because it makes it so fun. On the flip side, my therapist had some thoughts when I shared it with her. youtu.be/Yg7CWPgci0E?...

20% done with the new book and doing my best to find my feet in a much less intense writing tone, while also trying to keep it under 400 pages. Dark & deep are much, much easier for me, but I really want to make this book (& trilogy) much more emotionally friendly/accessible than the last. #writing

Vending at a NYS indie author event at the Arkell Museum in Canajoharie today from 12-4. It's their first time doing the event, not romance specific, and it's a rural-ish area, so my expectations are incredibly low. I'm here to network and have fun. And write. #writing

I am gonna finish this bonus scene for the book's newsletter subscribers tonight if it kills me. Spicy scenes are the hardest for me to write. I'm like the gourmet loving foodie who can't cook when it comes to the spicy aspect of writing. It's a struggle every damn time. So ironic. #romancewriter

Time to start writing the newsletter bonus scene for Dark Encore. I'm thinking Ana & Cole on their trip to Iceland, perhaps? The stark beauty of Iceland, a romantic Nordic chalet, and... Well, you'll just have to see. 😏 #romanceauthor

Soo many packages, so many people in line behind me at the post office today. I apologized to every person who came in behind me. 🫣 The receipt went to the floor, CVS style. And with that all the pre-order books have found their homes.🖤 #romanceauthor

Packing book orders to go out in the mail tomorrow. Getting all of these mailed is a very physical reminder of just how much I have to be grateful for and how far I've come since I started this journey just under a year ago. 🎄 #romanceauthor

One of my Kidlets pointed out that my book is #17 on Amazons best seller list for Hispanic & Latino Romance! Holy shitballs people! And I can see that someone in Japan bought the e-book. How cool is that? Debut author here, feeling a bit giddy. #romanceauthor a.co/d/2AwcmTf

Tomorrow. The e-book goes live tomorrow! Not like there will be a stampede, but still. It's a big thing to me. 😳🤯 And the next book, which will be the first in a trilogy, is banging on my door. I already have pages of notes for the series and have for months. 🫣 #debutauthor a.co/d/0k5vw0K

I love how kettle dyed yarn stitches look lined up in a row. The way the colors stack and shift makes me happy. The yarn was a gift from my friend Noelle from Northern Ireland, the dyer is called IAY.

EEEEEE! It's HERE! This is the author proof to make sure the cover looks good and the formatting and layout inside is correct. But STILL! I love how the cover I designed came out! OMG. I never, ever thought I'd be here today. Teenage me is losing her SHIT right now. 🤯 I keep shrieking. #writing

Fleece to Shawl is about to start! Our theme is pirates. I'll have you know the only thing I had to buy was the hat, the head scarf, and the necklace. People keep complimenting my costume and I'm like, DUDE, these are my clothes. 😳

Yarn chicken, baby! 9 rows to go. Will I make it? We shall see. Also, I have discovered I can read and knit at the same time, just like with spinning at my wheel. Woo! Yes, I'm easily amused. (I have a whole other ball, but I'll be pissed if I have to hit it for just 2 rows or whatever.) #knitting

I had to drive over (like passing over) this little dude just a few houses down from ours, but turned around and raced back to save him because our road is a race course. The odds he wouldn't get flattened were slim. I'm thrilled I got to save a turtle this year. They make my heart happy.

This is at the top of my bucket list travel destinations! When I tell people about it they're baffled/weirded out, but I don't care. I will see the Sedlec Ossuary before I die. Gods, I hope they have a gift shop, too. 💀🖤💀

This guy (💗) has been taking care of me today while I'm not feeling my best. But, since our plans for today got mis-scheduled, we at least got to walk around the village a bit before I needed to go home.
