Hi! I'm Cyan. I won't be here very much – busy writing twisty psychological thrillers. http://cyanmichaels.com will have more info soon.
Pinned
Hello World! This is just a placeholder for now. I'm going to be super busy writing the next few books, so I should be staying offline.
You know... except for houseplant videos, and downloading books to read.
Have a great day!
Every time fjords are mentioned on Jeopardy, we mention Slartibartfast.
There was a pause. "Are you trying to tell me," said Arthur, slowly and with control, "that you originally... made the Earth?" "Oh yes," said Slartibartfast. "Did you ever go to a place... I think it was called Norway?" "No," said Arthur, "no, I didn't." "Pity," said Slartibartfast

Hey folks with anxiety and / or air pressure headaches... can you feel this polar vortex approaching? I swear it's like a prickle crawling up the left side of my head.
The next two days are going to be "interesting".

Everyone go watch it just for that twist. DO NOT SPOIL YOURSELF. Trust me on this. 👀

Collective nouns for a group of Sharks:
a frenzy, gam, herd, pod, shiver or school.
Wow, I love collective nouns!

A frenzy of sharks?
A shiver of sharks? (Sounds like a band who would open for Motörhead!)

This flower (whatever it is) is magical!

Just watched "The Woman in Cabin 10". Really enjoyed it! Great thriller with a good pace of twists & turns. Plus being trapped on a boat is a great source of constant tension.

I've been ridiculously sick as well.
The bright floral colors of Bridgerton have been lifting my spirits a bit.
On this #FlowerFriday, as I recover from a miserable cold, I am posting this beautiful zinnia to remind me of warmer, brighter days

I'm beta reading a novel for a friend, and am very disappointed that GoogleDocs really wants the word "insectoid" changed to "insect".
We're on another planet, GoogleDocs. We left Earth in Chapter One. Try to keep up!
