Gorgeous Indian Summer day- more like early October than November. Not complaining but using the opportunity to use my favorite writing spot before the raining season begins. Draft 2, Laura book 2. #indiansummer #writer #writingcommunity

Got into some “Good Trouble” in honor of the late Senator John Lewis. I happened to be at the office today so walked to the Sacramento Capitol to add my support. #GoodTroubleLivesOn #goodtrouble #resistance #SaveDemocracy

Thanks #capcrimes for a wonderful field trip to Dorothea Puentes house. She was one of the most notorious serial killers from Sacramento. Also a special appearance by retired Homicide Detective John Cabrera, who was the lead detective in the case. #thebonegarden #thegrannymurder

1500 words in and someone decides she needs to step all over the keyboard because she doesn’t think I’m progressing fast enough. Frankly- she couldn’t get past the letter N- 2 rows of them! #mystery writes #mysteries #writing #mysterywriter #ilovecats

The la mayor adventura of my trip in el Cabos was snorkeling adventure in Cabo Pulmo! World heritage site with a reef re-established after fishing it to death. Now sought after Scuba and snorkeling spot. Jacques Cousteau called it the “aquarium of the world.”
