Sneak peek at the writing, editing & publishing process for my debut #MG novel in an annotated ARC. This is getting a little messy, so I'm adding a FREE signed hardcover edition so it's easier to read the actual book, if you want to. #BooksForMaui ends tomorrow night! tinyurl.com/4npu6hncTwo

This is madness! And illegal. The fact that the weekly paper has been publishing at all is a miracle. I hope all of these folks get the attention they deserve. #firstamendment
The judge who OK-ed the smalltown Kansas police raiding a local newspaper and seizing all its computers, phones, etc, because said paper reported a story the police chief didn't like.

The paper is now shut and unable to produce a new edition. Although I imagine larger press will come to their aid.

This chair appeared across the street. Today, I saw two different men sit in it. At different times. It’s kind of weird because there are benches. When the men sat in the chair, they were directly facing and staring into my living room! I don’t think they could see in, but it was disconcerting.

Begged my friend for an invite, but slowly tiptoeing in...I'm a little shy, I guess. Got my heart broken by the new owner of that place formerly known for its blue bird. Also, can anyone tell me the dimensions for the profile banner? LOL. Several failed attempts.
