I write books about awesome ladies in space.✨ author of the ROBBER BARRONS trilogy✨ I also runDisney✨ she/her✨ Luke/Mara trash since 1992 (ask me for my AO3)✨
Pinned
I really need to start writing again.

In the meantime, if you like Star Wars and Firefly, I would love some more readers for my sci-fi trilogy, starting with Robber Barrons. They are on Am@zon (yes, only there, sorry).
I’m very tired of having to explain to my mom that my aunt and grandma are dead, not excluding and avoiding her.

Watching vlogs about the new Disney ship, and the Haunted Mansion Parlor is so much cooler than Hyperspace Lounge on the Wish, that it’s almost insulting

Share a TV series you’ve watched from beginning to end more than once.

If LFL weren’t cowards she’d be young Mara Jade

How many times can you have the same conversation before you lose your damn mind?

Woke up with a headache. Forced myself to go for a run. It made me feel better!!! But once I was done, the headache came back.

Running is a trick! Don’t do it!!!

I showed Owen the Super Mario Galaxy trailer and he immediately asked to watch it again, so it definitely hits the target audience. 😝

I’m at 17.5 miles and I don’t want to run anymore. 😭

Facebook reminded me that my last book came out three years ago today. I thanked John Bierly in the acknowledgements because our conversations helped shape how I wrote a certain character, and man, I really wish he could have read them. 😔

Someone posted this in my running group. 🤣

I’m trying to do my best, and it’s never fucking good enough.

Why do 26 billionaires even exist?

Did my first tempo run with my new paces. Mile 1 was 11:22, Mile 2 was 11:35. To run a 2:30 half, I need to be faster than 11:26 (to account for going longer than 13.1 which always happens in a race). It didn’t feel easy but it wasn’t super hard, either - but of course, I only did 2 miles.

Robert Preston from The Last Starfighter
I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

My mom: Why isn’t AP (her sister) coming to see me? What did I do wrong to make her mad?

Me: AP isn’t seeing anyone. She’s dead.

Mom: I know that! But I’m trying to figure out why she doesn’t visit me!

Just… how do you deal with this?

I’m not fond of it getting dark early but I do appreciate being able to say “it’s dark, time for bed!”

Jeff Galloway changed my life. I will never not run/walk.
I’ve run 2 marathons doing run 4 minutes, walk 2 minutes. It’s slow but it’s also the only way this 50-year-old former offensive tackle’s body was going to go any kind of distance over a 5k.
If you are watching the NYC marathon today and are inspired to start running, please allow me to suggest run/walking. You don’t have to suffer! Run 8 minutes, walk 2. Run 90 secs, walk 30s. I run a minute, walk a minute. Be kind to your body. Enjoy being outside. Set yourself up for success.
