“My philosophical fictions come from Exploring the Magic Within and from Always Following My Heart. I believe that There is Magic in the Moonlight, and I know that, sometimes, BELIEVING is SEEING.” —Patricia Bossano waterbearerpress.com/collections/...

lol, NO!

I dream of a world where we’ve successfully untangled the webs woven around us to entrap and exploit us, sigh… writerbeware.blog/2026/10/09/m...

It's been a year since I unpublished the kindle version of my books. I'm now contemplating removing my print titles from amazon distribution as well. It's a hard step to take, but the reality is that change won't happen until we leave certain platforms in droves: Meta, Amazon, Google, etc.

No month like October for eerie vibes & supernatural fun! The legendary Danny Elfman is a fixture in my playlist, trick-or-treaters knocking at my door have been listening to this song (among other spooky hits) since the 90s. Oingo Boingo’s “No One Lives Forever” www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HEQ...

"Cities get renamed. Streets get renamed. Mountains get renamed. Colonizers arrive and rename places that already had names. New regimes rename the things old regimes named. Revolutionaries rename the things monarchies named..." BTW Loving my 🦄 on #mapquest surfnukumoi.substack.com/p/somehow-ma...

It's an all hands-on-deck moment in history. 47 and the gop have forgotten that they SERVE us. They're driving our democracy into the ground and destroying our planet in the process. November is around the corner 🗳️ Time to vote blue and stop the heist.

#WritersBeware ...scammers haven’t changed or adapted the set of markers that have characterized the scams from the start: hyper-personalization coupled with lavish praise (thx to generative AI) that make it seem they have actual knowledge of the writer’s book... writerbeware.blog/2026/08/28/p...

For this lovely month of transition that also marks the beginning of my favorite season, here’s an iconic earworm that prompts me to groove my way toward the upcoming Equinox. Remember to kick it up a notch on the 21st night of September! Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk?...

The spooky month is nearly upon us, so you’ll want this mood & mystique morsel, at your doorstep, no later than 9/30. At dusk, on 10/1, light a candle & start your nightly reading. But only the 1st story! No skipping ahead or I’ll know 😉 Your signed copy awaits waterbearerpress.com/collections/...

September has a subtle vibe all its own. The breeze cools; the angle of sunlight shifts slightly, and barometric pressure seems content to just hang out in its sweet-spot... us14.campaign-archive.com?e=__test_ema...

Life's phases are marked by earworms that attach lyrics to enduring moments. The catchy escape making me dance & smile today reminds me that love is life-altering magic that can turn ordinary moments into memorable ones. Benson Boone’s “Mystical Magical” youtu.be/U8QhB8_0t2g?... Enjoy!

H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,

Oh, Dad is pissed. And I get that anger. Traitor Trump is the biggest threat to democracy and world peace that we've ever seen in America.
