Finished a small portion of the backyard redo. Since it's beach/river pebbles, might put these fish sculptures "swimming" along the edge.

WHY DOES THIS APP KEEP CLOSING ON MY PHONE!?

Landscaping.

Jane Goodall was a big part of my childhood. She was science incarnate. We could understand animals and that these apes were our cousins. Jane Goodall, legendary primatologist, has died at age 91 : NPR share.google/KATEy6zCzYkZ...

Today, the girls got squished and imaged. Happy Mammogram Day for all who celebrate. 👀

After...I don't know, 25 years of having laptops, I finally discovered that I can change the opening page to something I like.

Exactly.

Cooler weather puts in mind to redo our backyard with gravel, planters, ornamental grasses and a fountain.

That's me on the horse. I like the hands-on approach to writing historicals. #booksky #readersky See that on my blog: www.jeriwesterson.com/the-hands-on...

I needed a lady friend for my Black protagonist Ben Watson who's colleague is Tim Badger, a former Baker Street Irregular of my #IrregularDetectiveMystery series, and I pored through Victorian photographs, and found this lovely lady. She is(now) Miss Eliza Wells, a green grocer's daughter. #Booksky

I'm in that no man's land between having finished a novel, and waiting for it to release, and not quite ready to commit to writing the next in the series, and already designed all my collateral. #writerproblems #readersky #booksky

Hey @bsky.app You need to push your logos to all sorts of platforms. Wix.com doesn't offer you; Mailchimp doesn't offer you; other standard platforms do not. You need to get the word out.

I'm going in to give her a kiss. Pray for me. If you don't hear from me...

33 days till #Halloween. Just saying. 👻🦇🕷️🎃

It was a very good day at the library book fair. Sold a very good amount of books.

It's today! Lots of authors on hand. Come on down. My fifteen minute talk is at 1 pm! #booksky #readersky

Is Sister Boniface Mysteries for children? They're so overacted, with simpleton characters and insipid storylines. Also, they constantly steal murder ideas from Midsomer Murders.

Poor hubby is having a bad reaction to either the covid vaccine or the flu vaccine he got yesterday. I had the covid vaccine because I already got my flu shot, and my arm doesn't even hurt.

So my "final" round of rereading the fourth King's Fool manuscript is sent back to the formatter. I can't believe I left out half a page from the beginning of a chapter. That's fixed. Has to be ready to upload to Netgalley in November and LibraryThing giveaway. #Booksky #readersky #reviewersky

Ouch. Go UN!

This is verifiable.

A tiny bat ushering in Halloween. (Actually a tiny moth)

My fifteen minute author talk this Saturday is at 1pm. I will have my medieval weaponry. Nothing like a grey-haired senior lady whipping a broadsword around!

Latest Covid vaccine achievement unlocked!

Does anyone remember the all Black cast of the TV show Barefoot in the Park, with Scoey Mitchell? I do. It was on for just half a season in 1970.

I was hoping the #MarlowMurderClub would get better in the second season. It's...not really that good. The puzzles are cheats, the main white character solves everything with her hangers on not really solving much of the puzzle, and it seems rather tired to me. Oh well.

Went to Sprouts today, looking for bread and EVERY SINGLE FRESH LOAF THERE WAS SOUR DOUGH. I mean, come ON!

Don't forget. It's this Saturday! #AuthorFair #booksky #readersky #reading #chattingwithAuthors

Bi Visibility Day was yesterday but it could be every day. And that's my Tudor series, by the way. 🌈 #booksy #readersky #lgbtqia

And ratings spiked.

My latest #Halloween buy. The #HeadlessHorseman highball glass. Just one, though.

The #hauntedhouse from dollhouse complete with ghosts, bats, and pumpkins. All done!

So there's a new #Maigret series on #MasterpieceTheatre, and I have to ask why? Why if he's young and set in contemporary Paris, why do you need to use the Maigret name? Can't it just be an entirely NEW character? Same with Endeavor. What's next? Young Poirot? *shudder*

Watching #PruLeith's cooking show on #PBS, and one of her hacks is about rock hard brown sugar. In order to keep it soft, she says, store some marshmallows in it and it will make hard brown sugar soft again and keep it soft. I'm gonna try that!

I, personally, am tired of facing over-sexualized and infantilized female Manga/Anime characters with HUGE breasts. I'm tired of it and I don't need to see it.

So...are there a lot of cars and houses cheap for sale since the #rapture didn't come? Again.

Another #ebooksale for #October. I'll remind you again. For folks in the #US, #Canada, #UK, #Australia, and #NewZealand. #booksky #readersky #romantasy #Halloween
