Here’s a short video of the world’s largest Sitka spruce. #lakequinault #pnw #olympicrainforest #washington

The audiobook for Westside Oracle will remain gratis on my webstore because I believe that once you hear @cassandramedcalfvo.bsky.social narrate the first book, you'll want to hear the other three. The book is good on its own, but her performance is top notch narration!

Sent this to my kids so they’ll remember who I am in four days when I return from #rainforestwritersretreat

Took these at St. Edward’s Park last Friday. The sunlight hit the abandoned dog toy just right. Also, a tree devouring the remains of another tree.

I’m starting to understand why my books sell better on Amazon than Kobo or Barnes and Noble. Their search engines suck. I had to hunt down my first in series ebook. The search engine came up with ALL of my other books but not the book I put in the search 🤦‍♀️ #authorlife

Caught the mountain out in Seattle yesterday. Also captured the snow moon on my way home from the gym last night. #seattle #pnw #snowmoon

When my conman ex left me holding the bag in his latest, I thought becoming the Oracle would get me out of trouble. Out of the frying pan into the gates of Tartarus. Join me as I learn how to use my Oracular gifts to stop a family feud with catastrophic consequences.

I love these covers and working with Raven was the best 😍

I *finally* get to share this so here goes! I was hired to do the cover art for a series of books by @tjdeschamps.bsky.social featuring a middle-aged, badass woman named Lydia, who's a Greek Oracle in modern day. I love this series set in the PNW & was so happy to do the covers. #BookSky

Rhiannon the rock witch is my favorite morally gray character in the Midlife Supernaturals series. I’m definitely bringing her into my Supernatural Legacies series. We all need an auntie Rhi! #witchybooks #indieauthor #pacificnorthwest #witches #witchyreads #witchybookshelf

Good morning from Whidbey Island, Washington Hope your Saturday is going well !

Please don’t ban us. Our own government is already trying to do this. I use a UK company to deliver books from my webstore and small business to deliver the audiobooks. When you buy direct from voices of resistance, you’re putting money directly in their hands.

Still sick 🤧 but could not help but get an epic Seattle’s first #snow ❄️ of the winter pic, featuring my youngest. He’s 18 going on 1880 #seattle

I’ve been sick all week. My best friend just dropped off a care package and like always, I’m grateful to have good people in my life who support me in their unique way. Thank you, @ladybignoise.bsky.social I’m missing the Imbolc Festival, but Brigid is blessing me with the best coven 🥰

It’s #caturday !!!

If you, as an indie author, come on social media to bash how other authors write (on subjects that are not problematic just opinion on writing style), that’s not a good look. It’s okay to have opinions as a reader, but as an author, you’re saying “Their books are trash! Read mine!” #authors

Pssst…I have a website

I was having trouble concentrating this week. (Shocking, I know.) Decided to work on adding more books and merch to my website from the library. Writing later. #seattle #author #books #pnw

Yes. This.

Pssst…when you buy books from an author’s website, you put money directly into the pocket of an artist instead of a billionaire. You can usually find a link 🔗 on their profile. #booklovers #readers #readersofbluesky

I’m writing a book that might get banned. But, I have this art print I bought at the Museum of Latin American Art in LA a few years back. It’s the message of my books. 📚

Welcome! I’m still figuring this app out, but it’s been great so far

Remembering Martin Luther King Jr. His words still ring true and seemed fitting on this day of remembrance.

I’ve been pushing today out of my mind. My family, friends, and so many people are worried but trying to do their best. Be kind and take care of yourself.

#TikTokRefugees #booktok Heyyyyy! Where you at?

Waterfall, moss, and fungi I saw on my hike.

I've commissioned @ravenoak.bsky.social to recover my Oracle Chronicles series. We do a daily Zoom write-in with other authors. All of us have been ooing and aaaahing, watching Raven transform their sketches into full blown cover art. I'm in awe of their talent.

I’m gonna be a panelist at WorldCon Seattle this year! :) I’ve been a panelist on over 150 panels but never at a WorldCon so I’m stoked.

If you’re an American, most things that directly affect you personally happen at the levels of state and local government.

when I use tiktok I make sure to balance out the chinese propaganda by watching top gun: maverick split into 1572 20 second clips

Just a girl trying not to have her basic human rights legislated by power-hungry criminals 🥰

I’ve successfully coordinated with Picasso’s Blue phase and my downstairs bathroom today. Pretty proud. Also? New nails from ViVi’s in Redmond. Last but not least, I found Carmen SanDiego. She was spotted today on Seattle’s eastside.

Reminiscent of the dogs rescued from Hurricane Helene that complained you can't get decent barbecue around here.

Science. Youre describing science. People who want rules and tradeoffs etc want science with cool visual effects, not magic. There are no "systems". If we knew how it worked it wouldnt be called magic

First hike of the year! So much cool fungi and moss. 🤩

I shared my thoughts on the TikTok ban in my newsletter. While most of my readers who replied agreed with my sentiments regarding freedom of speech, others felt the need to “educate” me with Wikipedia articles and armchair anti-communism. Propaganda from the internet is not a source. 1/3

Do not, I repeat, do not let this cat talk you into a side quest. He is not wise. I’ve seen things. Details if you want them.

How I are arrived on BlueSky

Loaf of tuxedo cat anyone?

My todo list and my motivation don’t match up today.

I’ve had so many people follow me but not much engagement here, yet I’m back to check again. Hello there fellow humans

This year was a mixed bag, but I can’t help but looking back with gratitude 🥰

Good morning

It’s Krampus Nacht. Be ready to rumble!

I got in a fight with a curb in the parking lot of the gym last night and fractured my nose. I’ll be fine but my pride is hurting
