Just a happy rock basking in the sun

The face of a dog who knows how to get up on things but not how to get down.

Posting an author every day for twenty days is very hard. I am generally a much more chaotic social media user. So here's a picture of a tiny bee I saw on a wild strawberry flower to balance things out.

Just discovered #WIPSnips ... Laura's crush is *apparent* in this #snip 💙📚

For the past year or so, I've felt a bit paralyzed by social media. I just have ... not much to say. Anyways, here's a six-tentacled octopus I crocheted.

I just finished The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern - a second-chance romance between two people in their 80s who re-connect in a Florida retirement community. It straddles two timelines - the 1920s and the 1980s. Definitely checks the 'feel good' box!

It's marking season so here I am back on social media ... thought I'd introduce myself!

I write YA contemporary, along with speculative and literary fiction - whatever strikes my fancy. I'm represented by Great Dog Lit and am currently on sub with my YA contemporary feat an MC with Crohn's.

I have no idea what's going on, but here I am!

2. How many dog pictures does everyone want?
3. Is this where the writing community is staying, because my brain can only handle one sm account at a time ...
