Realizing this morning that the majority of my sewing projects have been related to the fact that the folks making horseback riding clothes and boots don't seem to understand that riders come in all sizes.

I didn't get to eat Gouda cheese for the first time until I was in my 30s, and that's a significant part of my villain origin story.

A gift for Willow is now a gift for all of you.

Writing Tip: History is one of the best sources for writing inspiration. There are some pretty unbelievable things that have happened throughout human history that most people would think only ever occur in fiction. A little historical research can go a long way! #writing #writingtips #Booksky

Got this from the director over at the Berwick Library today! 🤩

Very excited for my signing at the Berwick Public Library on Thursday, November 13! I'll be reading an exerpt from Straw Girl, answering questions, and sharing some of the evidence from the paranormal investigations. It should be a good time!

My daughter might come with us to the open mic next week. So many emotions!

Can I opt out of today?

My husband left his birthday public on Facebook. That's called plausible deniability. 😈

I got one of these. 😞

My cake was doing really well until I decided to pre-slice it. The center basically collapsed. Whatever I lose in presentation, I make up in taste.

Destruction of the nap trap is nearly complete, but it's exhausting work. #catsofbluesky

For anyone wondering, no, I didn't learn. I fully intend to sneak off and let "the boys" know it's Mr. Barry's birthday, and let them do what they want with that information.

Just because I put chocolate chips in muffins for Mr. Barry's birthday doesn't mean I think it's right.

The kids who grew up doing active shooter drills and surviving school shootings have grown up and are voting now. Proud to say Maine passed some common sense gun control that could have prevented the tragedy in Lewiston. We also voted to protect our right to vote. Go Maine! Also here's a cat.

*swoon*

Update Part 1: Everything I know about frosting cakes I learned from doing drywall. Update Part 2: nibbling on the bits leftover when I leveled the layers and omg this is delicious chocolate cake (from scratch, not from a box)

Everything I know about baking cakes I learned from watching Nailed It.

Preach.

This is how I'm going to look every time someone dislikes one of my posts.

It seems unfair that I've had to turn my clocks back twice this year.

My favorite part of hunting season is it's my responsibility to not be mistaken for a deer any time I go outside, rather than someone else's responsibility to make sure whatever they aim at *is* a deer.

The nutrition label is in Dutch. I can't read it, so the calories don't count, right? Because science.

Merry Samhain to all who celebrate. It's time to let go of the things that no longer serve you and move forward into the next chapter.

Went to my local gas station today and both people behind the counter said, "There's the author!" That's right. I'm world famous in my tiny town of 2000 people. 😂

Uber's arrived.

Hey, writers. You have a battery backup of some type for whatever you're writing on, yeah? A UPS for your PC so you don't lose 12k if the power flickers? Good job. #writersky

Ngl, I am looking forward to bringing Cheerio to the vet for her checkup. Seeing that the other vet in the office washed her hands of Elder Kitty and sent her home to d*e. Yes, I know it's petty but I don't care. #catsofbluesky #caturdayeve

I love love LOVE hearing from readers. Got this one today (shared with permission): "On page 283 which means I'll be finishing the book today, but Moki is a little too scared for me to read it out loud...." 😱🤣

I had most of my current set the first day I was in the Netherlands, but for some reason I can never seem to finalize until a day or two before I go up. I do a new 5-min set every week, and eventually I'll have to go through the good material for a solid 10. Instead of working on, yanno, books.

HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE X WINTER PEOPLE When a veteran with PTSD moves into a house that goes bump in the night, it's hard to tell the difference between being tormented by her past or haunted by something even darker. And her family is caught in the middle. #ghostpit #a #PN #TP

I feel like Clover is happy I'm home. Mr. Barry said she hid most of the time I was away. #catsofbluesky

Update: Fluffy let me know in no uncertain terms today that I could get on whatever horse I rode in on and go straight to Hades. Is being mad that I left the same as missing me?

I'm willing to bet money that Fluffy has an attitude problem about me disappearing for a week, and more than willing to show me her opinion on the matter. My dogs apparently didn't miss me at all. 😢💔

Change one letter, ruin a candy Sars bar

Update: he already told the dogs I'd be home tonight, and he can't disappoint them, so he'll pick me up. 🤣

I have escaped Boston with my (declared) stroopwaffels and (inspected) tulip bulbs intact. As long as my husband "remembers" to pick me up in Portsmouth, I get to sleep in my own bed tonight. Probably depends on how sore he still is from my set last week. 🤣

Tonight is my last night in the Netherlands. Enjoying a relaxing night in and hoping the train debacle I encountered on my arrival is the same tomorrow.

If you know or if you are one of the people who will not be getting SNAP benefits in November and you are struggling to make ends meet and running out of food or necessities... please don’t let yourself or your kids go to sleep with an empty stomach. /1

Funny that this applies in the US too.

Am I the only author who hates being in photos and videos? Which reminds me, my recent signing is going to be in the Seacoast Reporter in a few days...

Post a witch. 🧹 (She does magic, I say she counts)

I brought my laptop with me all the way to the Netherlands to get some writing done. Anyone want to guess how that's going?

Guessing my family doesn't miss me all that much. 🙁

Is...is standup just a shiny and new form of procrastination? But it's technically writing so I didn't realize I'm doing it instead of working on my novels?
