No one does wind quite like Rocky Mountain National Park but it was worth it to see Emerald Lake in winter! #snowshoe #landscapephotography #emeraldlake #rockies #saturday #nature #photography #colorado

No spoilers. I honestly don’t know how reading the book could compare to the awesome audiobook. So good.

It is so amazing. My friend and I listened on a road trip and as an author I kept stopping it and asking her if she realized the amazing writing we were listening to…lol.

Blizzard in Iowa today so here’s a waterfall Wednesday to warm us up.
Deep in a hidden ravine in Italy.

Yeah but they probably knew exactly what kind of knives they were…

Woke up at midnight and had to choose between existential dread that might last thirty minutes or opening a book that would certainly last two hours.

Boy I’m tired this morning. #booksky 📚

After devouring @ilonaandrews.bsky.social books I’m now on to the #octoberdaye series. Sleep is over rated.

AI is imbedded in a lot of what we do, even before LLM like GPT came along. Like grammarly for example. I’ve heard about Ream on author podcasts… could be something to look into. It’s a reader subscription service. reamstories.com

Ream

A membership platform built by authors for authors.

Every platform is doing something with AI, authors won’t have the luxury of deciding where to publish based on that. IMO

We indie authors may also be on platforms like Kobo (has a subscription service too called Kobo Plus) or Apple or Barnes and Noble. Some have started selling direct from their own sites too.

Happy #stunday everyone! Yellowstone in winter is one of my favorite places. It was -20F this day! Probably why my first book was set here. Such a magical place. #yellowstone #blackandwhitephotography #landscapephotography #nature #steam #saveourparks

I love that! My park ranger character’s best friend is named Logan for the same reason!

Steph Hansen | Thriller Author @slhansenbooks.bsky.social · Feb 22

I started writing my national park crime thrillers during the pandemic as a way to stay connected to the places I couldn’t visit. In 2022, we visited #glaciernationalpark and got to bike the Sun Rd before it opened to traffic!

Our vacation to Olympic National Park in 2023 took an unexpected turn due to the fire that burned the Hurricane Ridge facility and kept us from hiking the alpine trails. Instead we headed west into the Ho Rainforest and saw tons of gorgeous waterfalls like this. #olympicnp #waterfall #landscape

There’s always something bright on the horizon no matter how gray it feels.
