I really never saw myself spending so much time by an active volcano, but here I am. Pic taken by me from my rooftop just a little while ago. Perspective: it's actually several hours away but I have a clear view (70-300mm lens).

This title is a part of my Keyhole Chronicles, which kicked off with "Reservation Under My Name" and has a spinoff novella, "What the Mountains Remember." All have different, transformative female leads who are middle aged/mature.

This is the year I finally say yes to love, family, and the life I thought I’d lost.
I’m not here to be pitied.
I’m here to outlive every lie. 4/4

They expected a woman like me to disappear quietly. I chose the opposite.
I’m 64. Ethiopian by birth. American by necessity. And I’ve been called many things: Revolutionary. Refugee. Doctor. Mother. Lover. Liar. Ghost. 1/4 #womensfiction

Anyway..."Nobody ate. Somebody collapsed. And all we cared about was whether the photos came out cute." This is the vibe of my WIP, "Before I Am Erased," coming Fall 2025.
Think: Black Golden Girls... but with unfinished business and no time to waste.

If "Eat, Pray, Love" and "Waiting to Exhale" came together for a book, it would be this one...and I'm SO excited about its release on 3.27.25.
I put my everything into this story, and it's my best novel yet! Women's fiction is definitely my jam now. #booksky

There's a guy at the local artist market who makes things out of old bicycle parts and scrap metal. When I saw this little writer, I had to get it. 🦾👩🏾💻 #writersky

Interestingly enough, I uploaded my pic to ChatGPT for tips on bringing out the smoke from the volcano in post and it edited it for me (I didn't realize it could edit external pics). The output was cool, but made it too warm for how this morning actually felt. It was cold and blue! GPT's edit:

Blew the dust off my Nikon and went on the rooftop for this shot. What a glorious morning with the mountains, moon and volcano view. It felt good to not use my phone for a photo and actually edit it myself for a change (even if I am rusty as hell in Photoshop). #photosky

Your phone buzzes. It’s your ex. 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻. You don’t pick up. Instead, you’re on a dirt road at the edge of a lake, holding a rusty key to a crumbling building. It’s yours now. What’s your next move?

I'm so sick of my dog doing this. 💩 Right in front of the cameras. Right in front of the sign. It's not like I didn't walk her for twenty minutes before we got to this area. 😩😂
