I gave Bane (my service dog) a good brushing last night.

Finally, I found some of the figurines that I painted. I love having them on my desk to inspire me. What do you have in your writing space? #writingcommunity #writinglife #writing

Happy Caturday 💜

Not that I'm counting ... #christmas #christmasbooks #christmastraditions

Today I am thankful for librarians - school, public, academic, special, assistants, paras, and library workers of all types - for all you do for your communities! You are patient, kind, knowledgeable, and generous to everyone who enters your libraries. Take a moment today to thank a librarian! 📙🍁

Changes are coming. Your local public library needs sustainable funding from the Province of Nova Scotia, otherwise it will have to cut hours, services and programs in 2026. To learn more, please visit buff.ly/2J1cA0b or drop by to speak to us, November 25-27, 2025! #LetsTalkLibraries

I love this idea! #booksforchristmas #booksmakegreatgifts #christmastraditions

Oh my gosh! I just looked at the calendar 🎉 have you got your Christmas shopping done yet? Books are the gift that keeps making memories all year! #christmasbooks #booksforchristmas #booksmakegreatgifts

It's been a long, hard year.... I am grateful for the patience, love, and encouragement to not give up! You can tell I don't like cameras, lol. My first book was published in 2015, and these are the only pictures I have. Lol #writinglife #writing #writingfantasy #author #indieauthor

My son fixed my Lego bookstore for me!!!

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

Someone asked me how to get book sales numbers up. I cannot stress enough, I have no idea. I write books. Every now and again, one gets published. Some do okay. Some do worse. I post about them on social media, I guess? But that doesn't seem to do a lot. Maybe like... magic??? could work???? 🪄🤔

This Christmas, give the gift that keeps on giving! Rainbow Dragon is fast becoming a bedtime favorite! Be sure to grab a copy now for your little dragons. 💜 Psst guess what? I've got news! #kidsbooks #picturebooks #picturebook #readtoyourkids #bookdragon #childrenbook #kidlit #kidsliterature

Have you thanked a vet and their family for their sacrifices?

My teen reader calls his pantser style of writing "free-range organic nonsense." I'm sharing this in case you're in need of a smile today. I hope you fall in love with a great book or write something you're immensely proud of this week, friends! #booksky #readers #authors

I had a little help emptying the hope chest..... lol

Hiring an editor? Ask questions. Signing an agent? Ask questions. Signing a publishing contract? Ask questions. That’s all. Goodnight! 🌙 😴

The holiday season is upon us and so I need all the holiday movies that have publishing as any aspect in the story. MC is a writer. Secondary character wants to write a book or be an illustrator or is an editor or agent… please list that movie here.

A psychologist whose expertise is "cults and undue influence" writes about the rise in calls to censor library books and how that's an example of a feature of cults called "information control" www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/free... #TLSky #Skybrarians

This also applies to books and anything creative. People are struggling now, they're not thinking about buying books if they're worried about food, bills, and fucking ICE.
