Snow happened last night. We got snow dust a couple of days ago, so I knew it was coming.

Winter is coming, bitches.

And I am here for it all.

That was the view from my cabin yesterday morning before I left the coast.

It was fucking spectacular.

This is the picture of the start of my morning.

I am not sad about this view. #5AMWritersClub

Slept in my own condo in my own bed last night. It was AWESOME.

Slept really well.

Now, to write all the words!

Some pics of my condo.

My revision and addition is done.

So, I got my rights back on a sport romance novella. Well, two, really.

I am going to rerelease them myself. With new covers. With about 30K words added to make them novels.

Just finished the addition this morning. Spell-check is next, then off to the editor.

Gin and tonic... for the win. Hendricks Midsummer's Solstice plus Fevertree Lime and Yuzu. Or was it Yuzu and lime?!?!

Who the hell knows.

It's delicious whatever it is.

My favorite avocado toast. I know, I know… it’s a love it or hate it thing.

Made it. Barely. Good morning, #5AMWritersClub.

Here's my toll.

Good morning, #5AMWritersClub. I feel like I am not writing as many words as I'd like. I'm distracted by all the animals surrounding me here.

Here's a little sample of my morning visitors.

I am in the planning stages of RE-releasing my first two titles in my SPORTS SERIES.
I haven't even come up with a name. But I have decided that book 3 is going to star a RUGBY player.

Snow in the backyard. It's melting already. And it showed up two days early. #DMV

Naked and Famous Cocktail. Did I tell you that I found yellow chartreuse earlier? Well, this is a thing you can make with it.

I bought new calendars at Erin Condren in Austin, Texas, last October at RWA 2024. It was a special outing. It's starts Jan. 1. I can't wait to use it.

And now I have my spreadsheet migrated to Numbers- mostly because my brain likes its graphics better.

Getting shit done, y'all.

Christmas Day dinner... Standing rib roast.

Christmas Eve dinner was pasta with 3 sauces. It resembles the Italian flag.

Mornings are super nice sometimes. #Virginia and #sunrise are words that look good together. Plus, I thought is was a nice, quiet #photo that sets a good tone for today. Christmas Eve should be cozy.

If you see this, drop a pic from the last place your passport was stamped.

Cordoba, Spain

The Mezquita and Roman bridge lit up at night.
