Had a visitor the other day. He was *not* happy with me waking him from a well-deserved nap -- thus the side-eye.
In related news, Fernando-the-Cat was PISSED.
(In *other* related news, my house sure looks messy! And yes, those are my feet.)

Went to a beautiful impromptu wedding at the courthouse! So uplifting & fun & hopeful.
Still, this is the second wedding I've gone to which had to happen immediately due to legal threats to same-sex marriage. How are we still dealing with this basic right for loving adults to be together???

Asylum Hotel was picked up by Once Upon a Book Club -- they asked me to sign 1000 bookplates! I returned from my travels to find the box includes not only my novel but novel-related items such as a clock, journal, & travel mug marked with the page references. Such fun! Thank you, OUBC!!!

I spied this guy looking out at me from a very dusty window in Montmartre (Paris). I believe that, like me, he's second-guessing my decision to go back to the U.S.

One trend in Paris is festooning the fronts of shops with an abundance of fake flowers. I think it's fun, but the BF thinks it's rather tacky. Thoughts?

One of many things I love about Spain: so many balconies, so much art!

Dinner in el casco antiguo (old town center) last night. I especially love the tradition of offering patrons a "chopito" at the end of one's meal -- usually a digestif made of herbs or a limoncello. It seems so civilized and welcoming! #españa #lacostablanca

Little kitty adopted us at the winery. One faction likes the name Biscuits (he kneads constantly), while the other goes for Minuit (for obvious reasons). Thoughts?

A few random shots of Calpe, on the Costa Blanca. El Peñon de Ifach was used for centuries by ships for navigation -- you can see why! It's not as big as the Rock of Gibraltar, but pretty close...

Just reminded myself of what a long run I've had: I'm running out of space for my own books! It's a lot of words when I look at them all in a row... #writing #authorlife #moretocome #Booksky
