I think my approach to unsolicited marketing scammers going forward will be: Have you even read my book? Yes? Excellent! Please post the fifth sentence from paragraph three of page XX. What's that? You don't actually have it because you lent it to someone? Goodbye & blocked.

What an exciting new development to wake up to this morning! 🎉Nereid Unbound has reached #70 in Indigenous Fantasy eBooks on Amazon! With Nerissa's Choctaw heritage, I'm especially pleased to see the book find a place in this category. #books #Indigenous #nativeamerican

I think I need a trophy or award for surviving 4 hours in the dentist chair. On the plus side, I can't feel my face.

Sunset over Boggy Bayou, Niceville.

Another photo from the aftwrmath of #Hurricane #Isaias

Took this short video right before the eyewall eased onshore. Lots of lightning. #hurricane #niceville #isaias

Took these photos from around the neighborhood. #hurricane #isaias #niceville

I made it through the #hurricaneisaias relatively unscathed. Lost the side fence panel/gate and have a lot of downed limbs. #niceville #isaias I'm already exhausted and still have so much more to go. The house appears to be undamaged, luckily.

I did get a pic of him trying to end me before I released him. 😂

HOLD ON!!! The National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Isaias is in the Gulf of America! We've got nothing to worry about! We live on the Gulf of Mexico!

Rounding up pens & paper so I can still write and work on book three when the power goes out during the hurricane. Backing up all my files. #writing #hurricane

Found this juvenile snapping turtle several blocks from the creek.

Met a lot of lil faces on the walk this morning.

It's banned books week. I'm certain my third book will be banned. Because: Sex. You know, the perfectly natural thing people do.

Banned Books Week 10/4-10/10/2026 Banned→ And Tango Makes Three The Perks of Being a Wallflower A Stolen Life Persepolis Two Boys Kissing I Am Jazz Looking for Alaska Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out Fifty Shades of Grey Little Bill

Looks like I'll be putting up hurricane shields after work today and tomorrow. The fun never stops.

Another fine example of why proofreading is important. #Hurricane

I recently saw a post criticizing #authors who make political posts, stating we shouldn't take a public stance on politics. I have a separate acct for political posts, but when it comes to eroding the first amendment, book banning, copyright erosions, & AI, it affects all #writers. #vote

I heard from a reader that she loved the first book so much she's going to share it with her book club! That makes me incredibly happy. Real readers sharing #books they love. If you want to help out your favorite authors, leave a review when your done reading so others can find their book. 💙📚

One of my characters is starting a sailing charter business and I am desperately trying to refrain from having him talk like a pirate. The struggle is real. #writing

Had to cut the dog walk short due to an electrical transformer about to blow.

Sale ends in just two days! #paranormalmystery #supernaturalsuspense 💙📚

I finished formatting the manuscript for book two in Atticus today, and I'm pleased with the results. That's one more item I can check off of my very long list of publishing duties.

Happy to announce that I physically took my vote-by-mail voter ballot to the post office today and mailed it. #VOTE

#Authors where do you find RELIABLE urban fantasy / paranormal cover artists who DELIVER and don't use gen AI? #writingcommunity #writers

Dear President Clinton: These are just some of the reasons we’re so divided today. #division #clinton

Happy that the weather has cooled enough to start walking my big boy, Riley, again. He loves his soccer ball. #collie #dogs

Without #writing, I don't know how I would've survived my younger years. I'm thankful to have another tool to help with CPTSD. A memory resufaced a moment ago that has me in tears. You can never know a person's struggles just by looking at them.

The course of life never does run straight. I attended a wedding this weekend, a joyous occassion, only to return to the news that a family friend passed away last night. Two life-altering events in the span of 24 hours. Hug your people.

I made it back from the weekend event I attended. It was nicer than expected, though the mosquitos at the outdoor wedding was taking tribute from everyone in attendance.

I'm being held captive at an out-of-town wedding this weekend (not mine--Gale Dekarios hasn't swept me away yet.) I'm bringing my laptop so I can hide in my hotel room & do some #writing. If I vanish, I was last seen wearing a...dress (ugh!) and trying to break an ankle in 1.5" heels.

I'm listening to an audio story, and the excerpt is, "He unclasped his heavy fur mantle and draped it over her shoulders, wrapping her in the scent of pine and immense power." WTH does 'immense power' smell like? Reads like AI slop to me.

No writing on book 3 today. Suffering a bout of vertigo. Just going to exist.
