RE: 2 dinosaurs who existed millions of years apart, arrive at the Field Museum and their spirits are lovestruck 💘

But then, one gets moved to a separate floor 💔

#Maximo ♥️ #SuetheTRex
So, I’m not sure how this happened…

But I accidentally wrote a POEM.

About #dinosaurs.

For #ValentinesDay

What the!?!? 🤣

I am definitely not a poet – but I hope you enjoy.

A Valentine’s Day tribute 65 million years in the making ❤️

#Writing is hard

You have to be prepared to put your soul into it, then realize people may not care or bother to read.

And that is OKAY. Write with others in mind, but please don't forget to write for yourself.

Write because you love it-Let that be enough.

Are you superstitious? A little stitious?

In this Trail Writing post, I describe 2 experiences (one that led to neck surgery and one that landed me in handcuffs) that occurred while wearing the same sweater leaving me a “little stitious.”

Do you believe in ghosts?

Though many define "paranormal" differently, one thing is clear:

We are all drawn to and shy away from the unknown.

Come with me to Elkmont Ghost Town and let me know your thoughts/experiences on this creepy topic

Anyone else dance for 5 hours straight last night?? ‼️
No?
Just us? 🤣

The Halloween Medical Gala was a spectacle in its own right and for an amazing cause.

I participated in 2 of my least favorite things this weekend: public speaking and flying.

With that, I accomplished my first ever speaker program for a medication that may improve lives.

This is my favorite coffee mug when I’m planning to put some hours in.

Sometimes, the hardest thing for me to do when it comes to #writing is start.

I have finally submitted my article about type 2 inflammation/COPD! Yay!

Now to add a few words to my sci-fantasy novel ✍️

It rained everyday while camping and while I didn’t get any writing done, I still managed to get some reading in — Breaks and time off don’t come around here often!

Did it rain everyday while #camping? Yes.

Did the amount of rainfall become worrisome? We were sleeping outside, so yes.

Did we get a wake-up CAW every morning at 6 AM from a sneaky little crow? Yes.

Regardless, we love #Smokemontcampground and the #GreatSmokyMountainsNationalPark 💚🤎💚🤎

While I loved the book I took on this trip, I so wish I could recreate what it was like reading #ASolitudeofWolverines for the first time while #camping! 🏕️

The atmosphere, the wilderness, the suspense - it was perfect. 👌

Liiiiike…it’s mid-July.

So…we’re good to start decorating for Halloween, right?

Right?

I’m pretty sure we decided this was okay years ago, so 🎃

Yay!! It’s beautiful 🤩
I'm excited to reveal the cover for the next Alex Carter thriller, Storm Warning!

Alex travels to Hawai'i to study a population of hawksbill sea turtles, but as a hurricane closes in, armed men storm the beach, and Alex finds herself in a fight for her life.
