A preview of my latest Instagram post. My debut thriller, Forever Gone, officially published today. My first self published novel– it feels like an incredible feat. I'm proud to be here, excited / nervous for what's next, and thrilled (no pun intended) to share this story with the world. #booksky

I've decided that I can do what I can with my community, but there's not much else I can do about the presidents of the two countries where I live. I'll de-stress in my garden and write. #farm #write #garden #türkiye #nostresslife

There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database. That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

VERY exciting news; my debut novel Forever Gone is now available to pre-order with various retailers + I have ARC's for readers who love suspense novels. linktr.ee/rshampton P.S. – what a heck of a journey self-publishing is. #selfpublished #thrillerbooks #writersky #booksky #writingcommunity

Doing the final read-aloud proof of my novel before publication. I paid for TWO line edits, one with additional proofing. So why do I have two or three significant errors every few sets of pages? Learned my lesson. If anyone has a GOOD proofreader, can you let me know?

Sitting in traffic in Miami, I wondered how these trees could still survive breathing all our fumes.

Looking for ARC Readers: A pulse-pounding suspense thriller about buried secrets, dangerous truths, and the price of justice. Charleston lawyer investigates a local children’s ranch, with horrifying allegations of abuse far darker than financial fraud-and a government that refuses to prosecute.

Overstayed my visa in Türkey. Twice. I'm about to go back and try again to behave this time. Visit me at rshampton.substack.com. I'll update you once I get through Passport Control.

The Texas Hill Country is beautiful in spring. I had no idea until I took a trip this weekend.

FISHERMEN — I have a question: Why do you come so close to other people in your boat to fish? We aren’t quiet on the dock. We’re having a good time. And I’m quite certain the fish have moved away an hour ago. So why do you need to be almost on top of us to fish? Hoping we’ll give you a beer maybe?

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

We the People demand a government that works and supports all of us, not only the oligarchs. Protest in St Paul, Minnesota today. Corporate media is no where to be found. Please help us spread the word @meidastouch.com. This is not okay! We will not obey in advance!

Hi. Here’s Jerry.

Right? 🤦‍♀️

Conversation recently about people rethinking where they get their books (and specifically ebooks) made me realise that a lot of pieces of that landscape is not very visible to readers. Here's a blog post talking about that from an indie author perspective. www.celialake.com/2025/03/buyi...

A reminder for these times.

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE. Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!? secured.heritage.org/the-heritage... Please share with a friend or a thousand :)

It was sent out this morning. I hope everyone who reads it finds a bit of hope. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Musk benefits from Trump's presidency in more ways than one. From squashing investigations into exploiting BILLIONS of workers to intimidating political leaders, this partnership is built on corruption.

I read a lot. Several books a week sometimes. Most I can’t remember after a day of so. Not this book. It will stay with me for life. Women are most definitely heros.

I was stressed about how to find other writers on Bluesky. Then, I found the Starter Pack index that lists all the categories. Invaluable.
