Current vibe at my house, lol. Almost ready to fall apart— Same, house, same.

Lilacs remind me of you. The sparkle of your smiling eyes— The depth of your rage. The curious way you eyed a vacant piano—the
Ponderous way you worked the garden rows. You loved them so but never could grow them yourself, but now, Mama, I can.

Santana being somewhat photogenic for me this evening. She’s never been a fan of pictures. #catsofbluesky #writercats

That day I released the third book in my first series. #amwriting #oklahomaauthor #authorsofbluesky

My agenda for the next several weeks. Ready to hit it, #writingcommunity? Let's get tapping!

Some sweet black kitties for your Friday the 13th feed. Izzy and Santana say "hi." #blackcats #catsofbluesky #fridaythe13th

Getting a tiny head start on reading for the 2026 iteration of The #bookreviewchallenge. I’ll be taking 2025 off it to pursue other video creation interests. Watch for monthly-ish channel posts, though this year will be chaotic due to cats, documenting home construction & moving. #cattaleacres

Hey #writingcommunity and #readingcommunity What are some of your favorite #bookish gifts? (Aside from books,lol.)

I’m fond of useful things that enhance the writing experience, like a genre-themed desk set or writer-centric mugs or tees.

12 years ago, I quit my job as a lunchlady & went to school for #writing. I still remember the trepidation that woman felt. I still remember the thrill of possibility. Now, 4 books & several stories later, I can say that it was worth it. This story will probably never be published, but it mattered.

My fur-son loves my robe better than me. It’s the only time I get cuddles from him.

For our first three years here at Cat Tale Acres, we had a pair of turkeys my husband affectionately called Goober (male) and Gus (female,) and we always joked they were they luckiest turkeys in the world in November. They didn't even need a pardon to live out their lives. We miss them this month. 💔
