Spent the day in one of my favorite cities, #Philadelphia, PA! Glad to see that even historic Elfreth’s Alley has a Little Free Library. #booksky #library #books #reading

I just like to throw this out there once in a while. There's no reason my dog's name is Tiberius.

I've started using blue text for the parts of my memoir that are reflection--the moments where author Amy is making connections and sharing realizations that the character Amy may not be able to do yet. #memoir #amwriting #writingcommunity #writinghacks #wrtiersky #bluefont

Great to see my review of Elizabeth Shick's THE GOLDEN LAND up at The Compulsive Reader!
This is a beautiful novel about how Myanmar's violent political unrest tears a family apart, and how younger generations are left to deal with the fallout.

While I travel for the holiday, Tiberius is being cared for by his sitter, and he is giving her all the smiles. #dogsky #chihuahua #dogs

Guess who turns NINE years old today? Tiberius, that’s who!
Got him during my divorce after my 4-lb chi died & I lost my other dog to my ex. He kept me from getting lost in my grief by insisting that his needs be prioritized at all times. Must have worked: we’re both still here! #dogs #divorce

It’s that time of the day: the #piano hour approaches, with plans to play #Chopin nocturnes and two pieces by #Debussy. And maybe a little #Beethoven because he’s effin’ Beethoven. I will also need a nice cocktail. What are you playing today?

Tiberius sat still for exactly the half second it took me to get this shot. #chihuahua #dogs #littlepiggy

Tiberius would say good morning, but he’s too busy trying to hypnotize me into giving him chicken.
