The October 15 release day of A Woman's Fight is nearing! But you can preorder it now from your favorite retailer. I wrote this because I'm passionate about the fight for equality and women's rights. #womensfiction #equality #womensrights #ilovereading #booksky #ilovebooks #historicalfiction

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Guess I’m okay then. #booksky #writer #writingcommunity #books

My historical women's fiction is now available as an ebook (for preorder, publish date October 15)! This story is about the fight for equality and women's rights in 19th century France...and we're still fighting, aren't we? #historicalfiction #equality #womensrights #womensfiction #ilovebooks

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

I found this article about “voice” in storytelling interesting. I hadn’t really given much thought to author voice before, but now I understand it better and can pick out my own author’s voice in my writing. lnkd.in/p/gbXAXW3y

This is Mima Mounds near Olympia, Washington, the location where I’ve set my upcoming crime thriller! Fascinating place. #pnw #mimamounds #washington #crimefiction #crimethriller #ilovebooks #booksky #writingcommunity #fiction

I write in different genres, each have their own tropes, which makes it an interesting process to switch back and forth. I had to do extensive research for my upcoming historical women’s fiction, A Woman’s Fight, and sometimes went down that ol’ rabbits hole. #booksky #books #fiction #ilovebooks

Release day is coming, October 15! A Woman’s Fight is available for preorder though. Themes: the fight for equality and women’s rights. If you get a copy and enjoy it, please let me know. My fragile writer’s ego will appreciate it! #booksky #historicalfiction #equality #womensrights #ilovebooks

My sweet Saffy to cleanse your day of stress. Breathe and stretch! #cats #ilovecats #writingcommunity #booksky

Had a great time last night reading to a crowd of about 50 at Third Place Books in Lake Forest park. A lot of fun to be among the incredible authors of Sisters in Crime! #pnw #booksky #fiction #washington #writingcommunity #thrillers

My historical women's fiction, A Woman's Fight, is to release October 15, 2025!! It's based on the life of 19th century French Feminist speaker and writer, Maria Deraismes, and how she fought for equality and women's rights. We still fight! #Mariaderaismes #womensfictionreaders #historicalfiction

My YA Sci-fi audiobook has ranked #15!! #audiobook #ya ASIN B0CR4C9WC9 Best Sellers Rank #149,512 in Audible Books & Originals (See Top 100 in Audible Books & Originals) #15 in Space Exploration Sci-Fi for Children #2,456 in Children's Science Fiction Books (Books) www.amazon.com/War-and-Mone...

I’m excited for the Sisters in Crime event at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park, Washington on Monday! I’ll be giving a short reading from my techno-thriller, Neanderball. I made some bookmarks for the occasion. #ilovebooks #fiction #thriller #booksky

The economy is currently crap, so I'm lowering the price of my ebooks (War and Money, Neanderball, The Ramtalans) to only 99 cents to make it affordable to enjoy fiction. No profit but having readers enjoy my stories is worth a million bucks! #booksky #fiction #books www.amazon.com/Ramtalans-Or...

Happy belated birthday to 19th century French feminist orator and writer, Maria Deraismes, born August 17, 1828. She fought for women’s rights and equality, but the government refused to listen. History repeats because here we are now, still fighting for equal rights. #womensrights #equality

A microscopic Tardigrade (water bear), walking across a glass slide. Extremely resilient, they can survive decades without food or water and can survive in direct exposure to space.

I had a lovely day visiting the suquamish museum, watching the celebration for Chief Seattle (Sealth) days, and enjoying the nice weather. Sometimes you’ve just got to get out of the house! #suquamish #chiefseattledays #seattle #pnw

Smart! A Raven doing Raven things.

Whale watching today from Port Townsend to the Juan de Fuca islands. We saw a humpback whale right off the bow, two separate pods of transient orca (mammal eating as opposed to fish eating resident whales), one mama had a calf!! We also saw stellars sea lions and a harbor porpoise. #writingcommunity

It’s a writing day today and Saffy is keeping me company in my ‘she shed’. #writingcommunity #amwriting #fiction #cats #ilovecats #writerslife #pnw #washington #bremerton

It's not just Good Reads. Having written three books I've discovered that there's a bitter little clique of angry people who try to sabotage book review ratings ... www.thebookseller.com/news/authors...

And now, after the terrible tsa lines at SeaTac, the bathrooms with no toilet paper or paper towels, the Thrifty car rental on Sacramento gave away our car!!! #califormia #horribleexperience #thriftycarremtal

In addition to the horrendous tsa lines at SeaTac, the bathrooms had no toilet paper or paper towels!!’ #seatac #washington #pnw

Flying out of SeaTac and the tsa lines were HUGE! They funneled us all out over a bridge and into a parking lot where we had to make long circuitous lines and then go back over the bridge, up an escalator, up a flight of stairs, and then back into the airport where we had more HUGE long lines.

Visited Manchester State Park where there’s a WWII military battery. Interesting. Great view of a ferry cruising by. #pnw #portorchard #bremerton #washington #writingcommunity

Ohhhh that’s a good stretch! #ilovecats #cats

Got my print copies of Neanderball! Techno/thriller about cloning, you guessed it, Neanderthals! #ilovebooks #booklovers #reading #fiction #thrillers #writingcommunity #pnw #bremerton
