When I wrote two SF novels in 2019 that made passing mention of “the American dissolution”, I didn’t think it would be so fucking prophetic.

"We sort of forgot about the Mariners." NO SHIT, DEREK! FU and your east-coast myopia. #GoMariners #TridentsUp #MarinersWin #MLB #NationalAnnouncersSUCK

Opening line from LIVER: Airplanes remind Emily of the silk nests of tent caterpillars that decorate the piedmont forests of North Carolina: beautiful, social creatures that can defoliate a crabapple tree in less than a season. #DVParty #A #LF #spec

Opening line from FALL DAMAGE: Wrapping up after a D&D session was a chaotic storm full of jokes and scrambling to jot down notes to remember for next week. Tonight was different. #DVParty #fantasy #YA

Opening line from CURSES, KISSES, AND OTHER COMPLICATIONS: Every witch worth her salt knows blood on the moon means trouble’s on the horizon. Yet I ignore the glow drenching the clouds in crimson as I throw my car in park—let bad luck ruin someone else’s night. I’m busy. #DVParty #Upmarket #R #A

It’s one of those days where, if I didn’t have aerial this evening, I’d be drinking by now. But it’s not all bad. Waste Mgmt pickup up twice today. I feel a little like I won the yard-waste lottery. 🤣

Oh, to be this relaxed. 😴

October baseball is coming back to Seattle!! Yeah, baby! #GoMariners #Mariners #MarinersBaseball

I’ve seen many folks say they love: Stand-alone series Series in one world w/different MCs Characters from earlier books making cameos in later books I have that. Lots of it. So, #editors, check in with my #agent, @m1stervaldez.bsky.social at Megibow Lit, for my spec mm contemporary romance. 💖📚

Don’t know if I have anyone in common with Isobel Grey, but if I do and you know what happened to her on here, please message me. She vanished from Tuesday to Wednesday, I’m concerned about her. 🥺

Eddie Vedder in the broadcast booth talking about how music seems like a transferable skill for a baseball player. Me on the sofa thinking about my major-leaguer MC learning to play guitar from the LI. Guess I was onto something when I wrote that one. ⚾️🎸 #romanceauthor #romance

The time is coming for me to raise my prices. I've kept them on the low side, but a shift towards market standard is in order. However! There's still time to grab any of my titles before that happens! Pop over to my website (link in bio) for buy links and pretty cover art and even some snippets!

I planned and the bus failed, therefore I missed the light rail I wanted. Of course trains don’t run as often in the weekends, so I’m stuck waiting for the next one. 😤

QT this post with someone you wish was still alive.

It rained here last night and is all soggy and grey outside now and I couldn’t be happier! ☁️🌧☁️🌧

Had a grand day out with my dear friend, @katedavies.bsky.social , for #romancebookstoreday yesterday! Thank you, Hardcovers Bookstore and Beguiled Books for your friendliness and warm welcomes!

Chill, relaxed morning of coffee, emails, and the newspaper (just the digestible bits, thx) with the cats before I head to the aerial studio. 🥱☕️💻🗞🐈‍⬛

IT’S RAINING! 🌧🥳🌧🤗🌧

Me: Can you plz grate up *a lot* of Parmesan? Hubby: (grates *a lot* of parm) Is that enough? Me: (looks, shrugs) That’s probably enough. Hubby: Okay. I’ll grate some more. He gets me. 🧀🥰

Harry Belafonte and the Muppets are playing on repeat in my head, and I am not mad about it. 🏔💦🎶

Happy Canada Day!

It was a very good day for Seattle sports! ⚾️🏀 #GoMariners #GoStorm

So pleased with the adulting I’ve done today. More to do, but that one has to wait until tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning. Shame, because I was on a roll. #adulting

Redid the decrease rows because they weren’t lovely. Can’t finish until I get more stuffing. But here you can see it in relation to the amigurumi Earth I made earlier. #crochet #crochetearth #crochetsun #nottoscale

This has Stargate-SG1 Ancients’ technology written all over it.

Working on my Sun to go with my Earth for my sciencey aerial-burlesque (aerial nerdlesque?) act I’m plotting. 🤓🎪🧶 #crochet #nerdlesque #aerial #burlesque #aerialburlesque

This weather is stupid. I want Juneuary returned *immediately*. #nooneaskedforthis

Whenever I have to write last-minute marketing copy for any of my books, I realize how well all that time I spent writing ad copy for a shoe website has served me since. #writerlife

TFW you learn one of your past stage-hubbies was in a play (twice) with Dirk Benedict in his pre-Galactica days, making you only 2 degrees of separation from a member of The A-Team. 🤯😎 #cooladjacent

Why yes. I *am* watching a 35yo baseball game on TV. Why wouldn’t I? #RandyJohnsonNoHitter #SeattleMariners

The Umpire Scorecard on this game is gonna be ugh-ly! #thatwasnotremotelyastrike

Just over 100 pages audio edited today. 🥳 Just under 100 words removed. 🤦‍♀️ I'd better earn some street (a.k.a. sales) cred with my next book, because this one is not getting shorter. 🙃🙈 #audioedit #amediting #writersky #writingsky

I learned the term garden-path sentence today and I *love it*.

3000+ words today. And not editing words. New chapter words. It's been a while since I looked at this manuscript. So great to come back to it today with fresh eyes and move the story forward. #cozyparanormal #PUPI #amwriting

Actual text I sent tonight: “Dative is some linguistic bullshit.” #whenlanguagenerdstexteachother
