I had ground beef in the fridge, but no mozzarella or ricotta cheese so I’m “lasagna improvising.” Meat sauce made, cashew cream ricotta is pretty decent & made, the Bechemel sauce is thickening though it seems like it’s taking a long time to thicken. Lasagna for dinner!

Hey authors! Has anything crazy ever happened with your books? In 2016 I started getting texts from people swearing to me that my book The Hunt for Xanadu was a $200 Jeopardy question. Do you wanna know something? It was!

Where are my 50+ athletes? It’s been about 10 days since I had the flu, but I got out today and ran with my run club. 3 miles and I’m tired, but I’m so glad I finally got out of the house.

I love my editor! I tend to do lots of info dumping in my 1st drafts & his insight has been invaluable. Still working on it, but I’ve added 3500 words already. If you need an editor, you should contact Scott Bury. He’s edited a bunch of my novels & he’s wonderful. @scottthewriter.bsky.social

I got a review from the famous author Douglas Preston for my thriller THE HUNT FOR XANADU. Bk 1 of 6 in this thriller series. He also talked about this book on one of his podcasts (photo below). Again, stunned! Just $.99 on ebook. amzn.to/2LPW71u

Since the Keurig in the hotel room was dirty even after 7 rinses, I decided I to make my own drip. They gave me a filter & I put it in my mug, put the grounds in, heated bottled water & slowly dripped coffee in! It worked!! The things you do at 5:30 in the morning. Coffee is no joke.
