WARNING CA VOTERS. A unofficial group is sending texts purporting to be official, with false information about your ballot. I checked with the county election team and confirmed these are FAKE and the link does not go to official sites.

Looking forward to discussing @stephenking.bsky.social ‘s classic in my writing craft group today (fiction writers who met at The Book incubator discussing how the authors do what they do). Never read horror before - hooked now.

Has a Renaissance air about it...

Sometimes getting into the built environment is as inspiring as getting into nature. Took a break from #writinglife to go on a #marincounty civic center tour. #FrankLloydWright #architecture

POV: you finally get back to editing your novel after 3 months dealing with your mother’s death and the sale of your parents’ home.

Love #MillValley #Marin. Love a good #publiclibrary.

My Mum died today - out of the blue and I’m reeling.

I was just back in Australia for a week and this was breakfast in Thursday when I left. Now I’m flying back, composing an obit and eulogy in my head.

Not if you don’t know the difference between your and you’re, you’re not. #writinglife #valentinesday

Hey @cnn.com - do better. The second person you mention in the headline was an accomplished executive turning around hospitals, yet you reduce her life to her ethnicity and being the daughter of immigrants? Shame.

Nice spot to be doing some final tweaks on my novel. #gstaad #writingcommunity #querying

Normal people on vacation in the #Netherlands: let's see Van Gogh and then go to a cafe!

Dej on vacation in the Netherlands: let's go to the International Criminal Court, where a character's great-grandfather gets convicted in my novel.

The Princess Bride (my first time watching it!!) and pie. A good day

Yep - world famous author and journalist has time to follow and chat w me - and repost tons of random posts.

When do you clear off the growing TBR pile on your bedside table? Old favorites (Keri Hulme? ), a new @trentdalton99.bsky.social Mum brought from Australia (whee!), a few from signings inc. @rumaan.bsky.social and a (not working) Calm the Chaos journal.

"Sure, you could be sending out queries, but wouldn't it be more fun to take me on another walk?"

Why, yes. Yes, it would.
