I have written three middle-grade fantasies:
BOSCO AND THE BEES
MIRROR AND THE BOBCAT
SOMEWHERE IN KAKADU
Spoiler alert: I like happy endings!
How about you?

A woman recently went viral for holding up a window sign during a traffic stop, part of a growing trend of drivers using cards to assert their rights instead of speaking to police.

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman.
Cruelty isn’t strength.
Reject it.
Always.

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social

15 is just a number picked at random. But that 15-year-old is still someone's kid, someone's daughter, someone's niece, someone's sister. The 15-year-old might also be someone's son, nephew, brother.
All kids, all children, are sacrosanct.
If you think otherwise, you're part of the problem.

Trump/Hegseth keep bombing small boats, murdering unknown people, accusing them of bringing drugs to America. There's no proof these people had drugs onboard.
Trump says it's to keep America safe from drugs.
Then why does Trump keep pardoning proven wealthy drug traffickers?

Trump and his band of merry cronies are trying to turn America into a version of Great Britain, circa 1770s. He's warping this country into the one that Americans chose to claim independence from long ago. There was a mad king in Britain at that time also. #HistoryRepeats

With all the talk and hyperbole about #immigrants, no one is asking the basic question:
WHY are there so many immigrants?
Why are so many people desperate to find a safer place to raise their families?
Maybe because the USA and other countries have mucked up their homelands for profit? For decades?

Thanksgiving is less than a month away, and #47 is playing politics with 42 million Americans' holiday meals. Suspending SNAP benefits to punish poor people for being poor. People do not choose to be poor. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VOTEBLUE2025

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/
