Author of the novel Sorry, Wrong Afterlife. I often wonder, "What if?" What if people grew tails? What if the water drained away from the Earth? Sometimes those musings become stories.

I'm thrilled to announce the publication of my latest novel: Sorry, Wrong Afterlife--an adventure fantasy with a dose of humor

Even with all the distractions in the afterlife, Dante Alighieri still had time to read my book. He said, "This novel sure has some divine comedy!"

We truly appreciate it when a booklover supports local authors by buying a book from each of us in the Author Event Network booth. From left to right: Catherine Matthews, Jeanne Matthews, Adrienne Ross Scanlon, Diane (who purchased our books), yours truly, and Sarah Blum.

Last weekend was the first time Author Event Network had a booth at the Vashon Island Strawberry Festival. We loved meeting islanders and off-islanders! This photo shows the authors on Saturday. I'm on the left, then Genét Simone, Adrienne Ross Scanlan, and Guy Morris.

I was sure lucky to be right on the beach when this otter suddenly appeared. It ran from the water to a stormwater outlet so fast I only had time to get a few shots. Here's one that didn't cut off the tail. That's a nice big fish in its mouth!

Last weekend at the West Seattle Summerfest my favorite moment was when a woman was trying to decide which of my books to get and a butterfly fluttered over to show her which one. Then it returned and showed us again in case we didn't understand the first time!

Last weekend signing books at the University District Street Fair in Seattle we had downpours, but also sunshine. Several times there was a river running under the Author Event Network tent! But I didn’t mind. It was so great to have conversations with the attendees.
