Nothing makes me question my existence as much as when the infrared faucet doesn’t sense my hands in a public washroom and nobody makes eye contact while I figure it out…

What inspires me:
nature, creatures, and our
connections with all living things.
Its why my characters spend so
much time outdoors.

If as a writer, you attend a few rock concerts that inspire a fictional series of books about rock stars, then the tickets and merchandise purchase would be expenses for research, right? 😜

#SFFChat A: Whenever I get stuck I draw a little iconographic map of my characters and where they are vs where they go for conflict and emotion.
#SFFChat Intro: Tell us about yourself and share something writing-related that's sacred to you!
Maybe you always set aside the same hour every day to write! Maybe you feel your work is divinely inspired. Maybe you only drink out of one particular mug while writing and anything else is bad luck.

My #Roseworld sequel has been stalled for lots of reasons, the main being I’m heading into major revelation & #AllIsLost moment, so I’m trying to figure the exact right sequence for maximum impact.

I may be at a work conference but it’s still inspiring my 3rd novel in the #RoseWorld fairy tale retelling series that starts with Awake. These boats might make an appearance…

Listening to yesterday’s @comiclab.bsky.social podcast and I now have to know what Susan McTaggert’s husband has to say. Will Mr McTaggert make an appearance? @davekellett.bsky.social @bradguigar.com

It’s not the size of the dog, but the size of its heart. ❤️
This is Reggie and Pearl. Reggie holds the @guinnessworldrecords.com title for tallest dog living at 3 feet 3 inches. Pearl holds the title for shortest dog living at 3.59 inches. They just met for the first time for a playdate. 14/10 for both

Spring is tough. The season brings up anniversaries of passing, along with deadlines conferences and activities that provide no room to breathes but there sits the orchid that bloomed again thanks to my husband’s care. And in troubled times, we can bloom again too.

I almost forgot: 2 years ago Awake, my #SleepingBeauty #FairyTale retelling came out into the world.
Aurora’s supposed to be asleep, but got out before the curse took hold, now she has to save her kingdom from the prince meant to break her curse.
