😀🏃‍♀️ Hooray! Off to get one!

Me earlier: The person I think is so stinking neat has never bothered to message me first in 20+ years. I'm so sad for me right now. Me hours later: 😐😠😒🤔😀🤓✍️ Chapter 1... (it's ALL fodder!) #writerswrite #lesbianauthors #booksky

The neighbor's chicken came over and caught her reflection in my car. 😀😆🥰

#writers #lesbianwriters 🌈📚 HAPPY WRITING SATURDAY! #catmom #chickenmom

What are your weekend writing goals? I'll be updating/rewriting a few sections of Josephine and I'm so looking forward to a weekend in my pj's, writing. ❤️ 🌈📚 💙📚 #writerswrite #queerauthors

OHHHH. Diane Keaton☹️ r.i.p. You are on of my favorite actresses.

#writers #booksky Authors/writers: If there are other authors with the same name as you who are also publishing, what would you do to differentiate yourself?

So many to choose from, but I think this one is my favorite: "...if good memories had a smell, it’d be a bookstore." From WIP Josephine. Coming soon!! ~ Dark to light, falling in love, morally grey, flawed, gritty, emotionally satisfying, medium angst, HEA.

I think we need a day of trump silence. Just STFU & don't respond to any media of that 'fek. Don't look at it, don't listen, don't respond. If democracy favoring news channels went a day w/o mentioning his name or ugliness, i think he'd blow a gasket, and we'd get a holiday. #taketrumpspower #resist

This is in fact a legitimate reason to be late to work.

“Obviously, I was bullshitting,” she said, in a lowered voice, “but I figured if he caved, then he and his buddies were up to no good, whether or not he believed me. He caved, though, right? That’s what I saw.” - From Josephine (Coming Soon!)

Woke up early. Going to the gym Going to the gym Going to the gym 🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤸‍♀️💪

Getting close to finishing: One was trained to end lives. The other, to dissect them. It's about falling in love, grit, darkness, and beautiful heartwarming things too. I try to keep readers guessing in this fast paced, medium & low angst, disturbing yet thrilling, from dark to light, HEA.🌈📚 💙📚 #wlw

Wishing I wasn't rushed to get to work. Would be fun to visit for a while- Video of trying to get her to safety on the comments 🤣🤣

all I'm saying (again) is, my chickens have sparked a mommy thing in me I didn't know existed. ❤️

Coming out soon!!

Every line of Moby-Dick shouts at us daily

Menopause true story.... Went to grocery store in the line where my fave checkout ladies were w/1 buying food. I thought I heard the word shart so i stepped up and said Well anything that makes u shart is usually fun at the beginning...... 😕☹️😶😶😶😳 I have no idea what they were actually talking about.

I have decided (or learned-- haven't googled yet) that my pet broiler (meat chickens) don't like to eat bugs. This morn, they followed me to the backside of their runner and watched me very intently scratch the ground. I picked up a little 🐛 and the hen pecked all the little (1/2)

"What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."

My hen laid her first 3 eggs and I went to fry them this morn and all 3 were doubles! The 'chicken mom' thing hit me so hard -- I love them so much!

Not quite there yet, but having fun messing around with covers: Any critiques welcome. It's about a gov't agency reformer who falls in love with one of her rogue agents. #wip #queerbooksky #booksky

So my rooster looked very alert and I thought maybe he was growing out of his boyish ways and was thinking of killing me🤔. We often cuddle. W/hurt feelings I walked away and squatted to do something. He waddled over and sat beneath my leg and I draped my arm around his fat body and all was right.

Yesterday was gorgeous in so many ways

I always forget the tags! lol 🌈📚 💙📚 #lesbianauthors #booksky #upcomingbooks #sapphicbooks #freebookpromo

Another day, another section of edits. I can't wait to release her! Please follow me to find out when Josephine is available. Per usual, I'll put everything I've written on free promo for a week, including Josephine.

My neighbors have a ton of chickens and they run free but their rooster has started attacking me and my rooster (who roams in a contained environment but theirs climbs through holes to fight mine). Anyhoo, I decided if they won't keep their chix I will, and it paid off! Mine don't lay yet so I'm 😀😀

Happy long weekend, writers! I hope your characters do something amazing!

You're welcome❤️🧘‍♀️ youtu.be/bOSWJTu5Prw?...

“You’re not those you were reforming. I’ve always hated that word. What does reforming actually do? In the broadest sense, no one has the ability to change anyone, except for the individual themselves. You might be able to provide a hiccup in the transmission...” From WIP: Josephine

#authors #lesbianauthors #queerbooksky #booksky Writers/Budding Writers: If there was a thing in your town where you could spend 4 nights/3 days & w/meals & be with a handful of other writers/budding writers and just write and (opt'l) share/critique, would that be appealing to you?(more in thread)

How did you gain your writing skills? School? Practice? Reading? What was your path? #writerswrite #queerbooksky #booksky

So...the preface is that I played Far Cry til 1am. The one with the peggies and John the father. I dreamed I met two women down on the beach & one asked for a recipe for a dinner party. We all go inside. They're also les authors. One writes me a check for $200 for a recipe and a book (1/3)

Who knew he'd grow up to be a mamma's boy?❤️

The grass is too tall, laundry is waiting, and all I want to do is write. Some days it's just so hard.... (🤣)

Just want to give a shout out to my lil helper because menopause is a fu---- a big jerk. (seriously though, this book is great when your brain hurts from trying to find another way to express anything)
