Spent this afternoon hanging out at my childhood library for their big fundraiser. I used to sit in this same spot as a kid, exploring the world through books. Now I'm here with 17 published novels. Full circle moment. #BookSky #ilovelibraries

Writing madness. I have a new book coming out this Friday. I'm on the big push to meet my deadline on December 1. And I have another book releasing next month. Basically, I'm talking & blogging about 2 different books while editing another. #writingcommunity #BookSky

I love the little pops of autumn colors. Getting outside soothes my soul.

Late summer, early fall. I love the peace of being outside on a gorgeous day and soaking in the beauty of nature.

15 years ago today, the Universal Cat Distribution System deposited this tiny, wormy, flea-infested little one on our front porch. I tried to find a home for her, but Kensi had already decided THIS was home and I was her human. I've learned to never question her again.

Time to celebrate. I turned in my proofread of No Stone Left Unturned this morning, which means I'm back to working on only ONE book for a while. Bonus: I'd been away from Stone long enough to have fresh eyes, & I have to say, I'm kinda happy with it! #booksky #writingcommunity

It's that time of year. The garden is overflowing with zucchini and yellow squash. Dinner today used 2 of them. Shrimp curry with veggies.

Kensi Kitty doesn't want to get out of bed. Just wants to hide under the sheets. She truly is my spirit animal.

Awesome crowd last evening at Mystery Lovers Bookshop. I had a blast chatting with Linda Castillo about her new Kate Burkholder novel, RAGE.

I'm so stoked to be joining Linda Castillo in conversation tonight at Mystery Lovers Bookshop! Must control my inner fangirl and make sure to focus on promoting her and the book rather than just picking her brain. #BookSky

My laundry assistant was on the job this morning. And no, I did not finish changing the sheets until she voluntarily vacated her spot. #KensiKitty

Photo dump from Friday's Craig Johnson event at Oakmont Carnegie Library, hosted by Mystery Lovers Bookshop. I was given the honor of introducing Craig to the standing room only Pittsburgh crowd.

We had a visitor in our backyard this morning. Hubby (carefully) returned it to the creek, where it belongs. #snappingturtle

Kensi hiding in her carrier at the vet's office ("Don't look at me!") Happily, she got a very good report, and I got her weight back where it needs to be. #heartmurmurkitty #emotionalsupportkitty
