🤔 pondering ... are there any Bluesky #authors who are NOT on Amazon? Thought we might start a mutual support group/page/listing or something. We need to find alternate venues; share experiences; promo our books and support other authors. ✨ BONUS: there's no need for introverts to leave the house.

Goal Met! Thank you so much for your help during this very trying time. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Someone has just offered to fund the remaining 82% of my Ko-Fi goal, so I have closed that out.

Important pup-date! I may (🤞🤞) soon be adopting my little foster buddy, Linus. This is the second time I have fostered him since he arrived at Asheville Humane Society and he has really bonded with my resident dog, Callie. Hopefully with me, too. 🥰

🥺 Someone is interested in adopting my foster dog Linus. That was the goal, of course, but I was secretly hoping I might find a job in time and adopt him myself. He already feels like family.
