It's been a busy two weeks! ARC requests went out for my October release and initial feedback seems positive. Should get edits back on the second in the series this week. And I'm 28k words into the third. Itching to get back to it but tonight is for basketball! Go #Valkyries! #amwriting #indiauthor

I don't know how I'm supposed to get any writing done today with the constant taking on and taking off of my hoodie! 🙄 I love cool, cloudy days in the city but could do without muggy, cloudy days! #writerlife #amwriting - or at least trying today!

I don't know that I'll ever take a tsunami warning casually but I'm thankful we're in the city today, on the second floor of a sturdy building on the uphill side of things.

I stare at words all day long and, some days, the Wordle makes me feel like I've never seen letters before. Today I forgot the letter "A" existed.

It's a lovely Friday morning in San Francisco. The perfect day for brunch or for a walk in the park. Me? I'm sitting at my desk with cold toast and lukewarm coffee, editing out the most overused word in a recent draft. Gravel. 97 uses in 40 chapters. Gravel. #amwriting #writerlife #authors

Help! I'm torn between two names for my MMC. He's an accountant, with a creative side. Early 40s, quietly confident, dry sense of humor, the kind of guy who notices details others miss. He's practical but unexpectedly romantic. Reed? or Cole? What say you 💙📚 #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Romance
