This is what I do when writer’s block hits. I make mugs for the imaginary cafes in my books. Is it a little nuts…yes. Does it help…no, but I have a lot of cool mugs now. ☕️

I wondered why I was suddenly alone as my fur babies are almost always in the office with me while I’m writing.

Flashback to camping in the San Jacinto Mountains with the family. Love that dappled sunlight.

What a strange turn in the weather. I woke up this morning to a gloomy, overcast sky, blustery wind, and steady drizzle. It was almost 100 degrees and sunny yesterday. 🌧️
I’m working on the outline for book two today. Wish me luck! #thrillerbooks #crimereads
