Last night I pulled my Lenormand cards: Stars - Rider - Book. Later, I smelled an odd smell in our basement in a specific spot. It was prolly the neighbors' weed wafting through. Unknown (Book) smell coming in (Rider) and spreading (Stars). I thought that was pretty wild. #Lenormand #ItsJustWeed

Did a collective reading (that’s for you all) from my Alleyman’s Tarot and got a bit spooked. Given the state of the world right now, the card of right/wrong, law, and doing the right thing seems eerily appropriate. #tarot #divination #BeKindAlways

I missed this tour due to surgery but from what I saw and heard, it was kick ass. :) I hope they come back to Michigan this year so we Michiganders can get our Ryche fix!

Current earworm: "Gutter Ballet" by Savatage It's been in my head for about three days now. I guess my brain is hooked on them. I actually really love Savatage. Better it's a band I love. If it were Rick Astley....best not to even contemplate. <<shudders>>

Look at this wild ass sky!!

TFW your Tarot cards give you Pentacles (resources, money, health) and Swords (thoughts, intellect) but NO CUPS (emotions, love). Where are my cups

Current earworm: Behind the Walls by @queensryche.bsky.social Amazing song, amazing video. That chorus gets me every time: Did you…ever…love me? Did you…ever…love…you? *chef’s kiss* 😘

In my fantasy novel, Beyond the Humming Downs, the goal of the MC is to keep the secret of her bloodline... then survive the wrath of her leaders when they inevitably discover it. Basically, she wants to keep her magic. 😳 #FantasyIndiesJanuary — 4 #indiefantasy 📚🪐💙🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️

I seriously can’t wait to hear it!

There’s nothing I love more than my mom’s Christmas tree. Lots of history in each ornament, some going back many decades. Many, many memories. ❤️

So I did the 13 Wishes Ritual I found on Instagram. You write 13 wishes on pieces of paper and burn one per day starting tonight, leaving one left to work on the following year. What would be one wish you would put on your paper? One of mine was to meet the amazing band @queensryche.bsky.social.

#FantasyIndiesNovember I’m thankful for the ability to write and comfort, heal, and inspire people through my words. I’ve always known that it is part of my purpose in life. Also the writers I’ve gotten to know over the years who’ve impacted my writing journey in various ways. ❤️

#FantasyIndiesNovember I collect (and read) Tarot and Lenormand decks. Been reading and collecting Tarot for over 30 years and Lenormand for 6 years. It is a huge part of my spiritual practice and yes, I’ve Tarot for writing as well. ;)

#FantasyIndiesNovember Day 3 WIP Playlist I don't have a playlist yet, but Flamebound was inspired by "Take Hold of the Flame" and "No Sanctuary" by @queensryche.bsky.social. The playlist will include those, as well as many fire-themed songs, bc book has a theme of fire.

#FantasyIndiesNovember Day 2 When did you start writing? As soon as I could hold a pen and tell stories. I taught myself to type when I was 7. I wrote my first "novel" at 12. And have been writing various things ever since. I self-pubbed my debut novel in 2012 at the age of 37.

So today is Halloween, and my old cell phone, which I use for music only, has been turning on and turning off randomly since about 3:30a.m. Um...should I call an exorcist? #happyhalloween #poltergeist #witchinghour #myphoneispossessed

Day 3 Free Friday #FantasyIndiesSpooktober I'm proud of being published. I worked for decades to hone my craft, get critiqued, edited and edited more, and worried I would fail. I almost quit once. And well...I had a dream. And I wanted to make it happen. So here we are, 9 books later. :)

Day 2 #FantasyIndiesSpooktober I LOVE scary things, love horror, love anything that gives me chills or freaks me out. Horror movies, psychological thrillers...I also love writing that kind of stuff as well. It's one of my favorite genres. I'm always trying to scare myself. ;)

I am a multi-genre writer with 9 books published. I am also a freelance editor and an Esperantist. New WIP. Tribal cult based in distant planet, they worship a Star God, some people become ill and pass away around 20. There are rules. Some people break said rules. #FantasyIndiesSpooktober

Great news. Been saying for YEARS that this shit needs to be abolished. I am a mess every time we switch regardless of which direction, and we really no longer need it. Just end our misery already.

Spooky Season has commenced! At least, for me, anyway lol. And yes, I am old enough that I remember watching this on MTV in the 80s around Halloween. Those were the days....

Nothing beats getting a brand new novel idea while having several WIPs waiting their turn to be written + 3 short stories on deck being written. Um, thanks, muse? Way to go? #insanemuse #icantkeepup

Happy Sunday! We had an amazing hit of design and color this morning at sunrise that was totally unexpected, and fully appreciated. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
