Is it any wonder my book features talking crows when I grew up watching MR ED, the talking horse, and had a budgie who could sing the theme song? Like Dervish he had a habit of rewriting lyrics in his own way. #budgerigars #talkingbirds

The haunting melody and mysterious lyrics of Gypsy inspired the name of a character in my book. Naturally, Dervish couldn’t resist rewriting the song—to make it all about him.

Dervish learns the hard way that in Nancy Grace’s courtroom, even a spilled water bottle is a federal offense. Justice is swift. And possibly delivered by a pointy pencil. #books #absurdistfiction #booksky

Dr. Horton was teaching a class of vet students when her elephant insisted on being part of the lesson—so she used him as a chalkboard. They were never meant to stay in the story, anyway, some characters find their way out, living on beyond the pages of "Seahorses in the Olive Jar." #BookishBsky

I always start a painting by looking through my photographs, waiting for something to catch my eye. With writing, it might be a passing thought that makes me chuckle or an emotion I need to get out. The next phase is crafting that spark into a vision—whether it’s a painting or a story. #ShareArt

Sometimes you learn new things about your characters after the book is written—like how Hank’s penchant for wearing clothes was why he had to ride a pig into town instead of flying. Here is Hank dressed as a scarecrow for his job as corn seed spokescrow.
