A good day overall. I sold 17 books—four of which I had to dig out after already packing my bin. That’s why I typically pack my signage/banners last 😉 In this case, they caught someone’s eye 👁️

My next in-person event is this coming Saturday in Cocoa Village, Florida!

As an homage to Galileo, I named a heretical female astronomer G’lea in the first book of my Saga of the Cerulean Universe trilogy. Unlike her namesake, she was brutally tortured to death for her views. #spaceopera #scifibooks #Galileo

My next read! Several years ago, I did a fair amount of research on traditional Polynesian navigation for DELPHYS RISING. I sure wish I had discovered this book back then 🧭

I usually get my time with Spock at The Cafe in Key West…but we haven’t been able to make that trip the last two years. So, I was pleasantly surprised to visit my favorite Vulcan at a local joint 🖖

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just completed another five-star read from J.D. Sanderson. A wonderful collection of short pieces that would be enjoyed by fans of the Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.

I got up and out on the water extra early for the rocket launch this morning. Unfortunately, the GoPro video doesn’t do it justice. Still, a great 10-mile paddle that ended with a dolphin escort into the Eau Gallie River 😊

The view from Ballard Park after my paddle this morning 😮

In 2019, my second novel, DELPHYS RISING, was @booklife Prize Semifinalist: booklife.com/project/delp... #5amwritersclub #speculativefiction #scifibooks #WritingCommunity #BooksWorthReading #thrillerbooks

I wasn’t JUST dolphin watching this morning 😉

Good morning from Eau Gallie, Florida! A significant pause near the end of my 10-mile paddle this morning. Just too many dolphins to pass by 🐬 🐬 🐬

I’m m a bit grumpy this morning as I don’t budget time well over the last few days and that meant blowing off my workout and writing time to catch up on needed work on the courses I’m teaching. #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity

This morning’s 10.25-mile paddle 🐬 A 47-degree start, but oh so worth it. Beautiful start to the day.

My ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of 'Moose. Indian.: A Dark Confession' by Kip Koelsch @kipauthor.bsky.social Superb short story! #Books #Reading #HistoricalFiction #Nature #Horror #QuickRead #BookSky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

After more than two weeks of zero running, we did a thing this morning—a little 5-mile race 👀 Now, post-race breakfast since we can’t get back into our neighborhood just yet.

As always, thank you for reading and sharing!

This morning, I’m starting my search for a potential home (publication) for my fantastical, post-apocalyptic short story that features a huge cosmic cat and a young girl. It’s just over 5000 words. Any suggestions? #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity #indieauthors

I used the MS Word read aloud feature to listen to my whole story. Then, I did some rewriting and now have a third draft of my fantastical, post-apocalyptic short story—Feluna. #writingcommunity

The in-laws are in town, but I’m still hoping to do a little rewriting of my short story after my class today.

This morning’s dolphin encounter 🐬

I actually broke a sweat on my 10-mile paddle this morning as I was just a hair overdressed for the 45-degree starting temperature.

Todays #5amwritersclub was about prep for today’s class and sending one follow-up email regarding an April book festival.

TWO Replacements songs in one day!?! “Answering Machine” (one of my alll-time favorites) is on the satellite at work 😁 Listen for yourself: youtu.be/bTNdhURRTv8?...

This is a great song to hear at work! Check it out: youtu.be/E3dFmNolsPA?...

I’d love to sell a few of these novellas today! Thomas Wade Duncan lost a leg, his self-control, and his fiancée. A dark, Civil War-era tale of addiction, witchcraft, and an uncertain redemption. The Peculiar Affliction of Thomas Wade Duncan: a.co/d/aqNIlrc

Last night’s pile-on 🙀😻 I’m under there somewhere 😴

Feeling a bit tired this evening…
