Mark Twain said that my novel Sorry, Wrong Afterlife is "Great fun, with more twists and turns than the mighty Mississippi." Thanks for the kind words, Mr. Clemens! #booksky #fantasybook #books #booklover #bookworm #bookish #fantasynovel #fantasyfiction #booknerd #reading #booksbooksbooks

We truly appreciate it when a booklover supports local authors by buying a book from each of us in the Author Event Network booth. From left to right: Catherine Matthews, Jeanne Matthews, Adrienne Ross Scanlon, Diane (who purchased our books), yours truly, and Sarah Blum. #booksky #Scifi #fantasy

It looked like everybody was having a grand time at the Magnolia Summerfest again this year. Music, food, bouncy houses, and of course, books! #fantasybook #books #booklover #bookworm #bookish #fantasynovel #fantasyfiction #fantasynovels #fantasyreads #booknerd #reading #booksbooksbooks #booksky

Is the sixth time the charm? It'll be difficult if all countries have to agree. “We will never recycle our way out of this problem..." apnews.com/article/plas...

Last weekend was the first time Author Event Network had a booth at the Vashon Island Strawberry Festival. We loved meeting islanders and off-islanders! This photo shows the authors on Saturday. I'm on the left, then Genét Simone, Adrienne Ross Scanlan, and Guy Morris. #booksky #fantasy #scifi

I was sure lucky to be right on the beach when this otter suddenly appeared. It ran from the water to a stormwater outlet so fast I only had time to get a few shots. Here's one that didn't cut off the tail. That's a nice big fish in its mouth! #nature #environment #naturephotography

Last weekend at the West Seattle Summerfest my favorite moment was when a woman was trying to decide which of my books to get and a butterfly fluttered over to show her which one. Then it returned and showed us again in case we didn't understand the first time! #booksky #scifibooks #fantasynovels

Sigmund Freud is the latest celeb to weigh in on my novel, Sorry, Wrong Afterlife. He said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes a great book is a great book." Thanks, doc! #booksky #fantasyfiction #fantasynovels #fantasyreads #booknerd #booksbooksbooks #fantasyreader #bookaddict

We finally know why she's smiling! She's reading my novel, Sorry, Wrong Afterlife. Glad she likes it! #booksky #afterlife #fantasybook #books #booklover #bookworm #bookish #fantasynovel #fantasyfiction #fantasynovels #fantasyreads #booknerd #reading #booksbooksbooks

There's nothing like reading a good book. "Scientists have observed that, compared with non-readers, people who read regularly for pleasure tend to be less stressed, depressed and lonely, more socially connected and confident, and perhaps even live longer..." www.bbc.com/future/artic... #booksky

Charles Dickens just finished reading my novel Sorry, Wrong Afterlife. He told me, "This book more than fulfilled my Great Expectations. It even had a clever Twist." Thank you, Mr. Dickens! #booksky #afterlife #fantasybook #booklover #bookworm #bookish #fantasynovel #fantasyfiction #fantasynovels

Great book--Fronds, by @stevenericscribner.bsky.social. I thoroughly enjoyed these stories. The poetry of the words tugged at me, drawing me deeply into each tale. Everybody should read this book. #bookreviews #amreadingfiction #amreadingscifi #shortstories

Gilles Rousselet made this wonderful drawing of a young 17th century woman in the Afterlife recommending my novel. Merci, Monsieur Rousselet and Mademoiselle, whoever you are! #fantasynovel #fantasyfiction #fantasynovels #fantasyreads #booknerd #booksbooksbooks #fantasyreader #bookaddict #booksky

Book recommendation: The Dragon from Chicago by Pamela Toler. This nonfiction book tells about an American reporter who worked in Germany during WWI and WW2. Absolutely riveting. #books #reporters #greatreads #bookreview #bookrecommendation

"Banned Wagon Books." What a great name and approach for a bookstore! #booksky apnews.com/article/inde...

Charles Darwin recently had this to say about Sorry, Wrong Afterlife: "This book is a natural selection for those who want novel entertainment." I'm honored! #novels #reading #authors #booksky #bookaholic #fantasynovels #scififantasy #bookworm #bookish #booksbooksbooks

Last weekend signing books at the University District Street Fair in Seattle we had downpours, but also sunshine. Several times there was a river running under the Author Event Network tent! But I didn’t mind. It was so great to have conversations with the attendees. #booksky #fantasy #scifi #novels

It's difficult to stay humble when the accolades keep rolling in for Sorry, Wrong Afterlife. Here's what Dante Alighieri had to say: "This novel sure has some divine comedy." Truly, I'm honored. #fantasynovels #fantasyreads #booknerd #fantasyreader #bookaddict #bookrecommendations #bookcommunity

We spied on the tourists in the Space Needle today. They had no idea that we could see them all the way from West Seattle, across the water. Well, it does help to have a zoom lens. They could have been spying on us too. I should have waved or something... #photography #Seattle #bluesky

William Shakespeare had the perfect thing to say about Sorry, Wrong Afterlife. “Death is the perfect escape plan, and so is this novel. Highly recommend.” Very clever of him! #booksky #fantasyreader #bookaddict #bookrecommendations #bookcommunity #bibliophile #novel #bookaholic #fantasyauthors

How kind of Jane Austen to mention my novel, Sorry, Wrong Afterlife. She said “I didn’t know there were so many gods until after I died. I wish I’d read this book sooner.” #fantasyreader #bookaddict #author #bookrecommendations #bookcommunity #bibliophile #novel #bookaholic #fantasyauthors

You think you know what the afterlife is like? It's nowhere near that. But don't worry, I've got you covered. My latest novel explains it all to you. #fantasybook #books #booklover #bookworm #bookish #fantasynovel #fantasyfiction #fantasynovels #fantasyreads #booknerd #reading #humor

From yesterday at the Union Bay Natural Area. I believe this is a tree swallow.

The indie bookstore around the corner had this sign. So I went inside and bought 2 books from the banned book section. Support local small businesses. Read banned books. Drink your Ovaltine.

For this video I used items I had around the house, and came up with a way to beam my character on and off the spaceship. (Sound on) #stopmotion #videoproduction #powerdirector #Sciencefiction #scifi #outerspacealien #animation #funvideo #art #photography #claymation youtu.be/yCtXYw7MgYs

Did you know that traffic lights used to only have red and green lights? Then Garrett Morgan invented one that included a yellow light. He might be why you're still alive today! #BlackHistoryMonth #blackhistory #blacklivesmatter www.biography.com/inventors/ga...

I first shot this stop motion video using Play-Doh, but things didn't hold together very well, and so I took the next step and bought the modeling clay that stop motion animators use. (Sound on for best experience) #valentinesday #valentines #love #videoediting #funstuff #stopmotion

I've been trying new ideas in video creation and editing. This stop motion video is only 20 seconds long, but it took several days--we reshot it once and I re-edited it a few times. (It's better with the sound on so you can hear the sound effects I added.)

Gus was too late for Best Actor for this year's Golden Globes, but surely he's a contender for next year. Here's his debut in Gus and the Strange Discovery. (Best with sound on.) #stopmotion #videoediting #powerdirector #creativity
