Real life Scooby-Doo in front of the Scooby-Doo tree. #dogsofbluesky #dogsky
Tan long-legged terrier/hound mix is standing in front of a Christmas tree covered in only Scooby-Doo ornaments. She's looking up at you wondering why she's not allowed to touch the tree.

5 years married to my favorite person. The Thomas Magnum to my Juliet Higgins, the Nicole Haught to my Waverly Earp. My best friend and partner in everything. Nothing (not even the Supreme Court) could ever change the love I have for you.💙💛
Two brides. One in a black dress, one in a white. Both are holding large bouquets of burgundy, orange, and peach flowers with greenery mixed in. They’re standing in a field with hay bales and trees up behind them. The sky is slightly overcast. The same brides now holding hands and walking away from the camera down a green path lined with trees.

Two women: one in a blue denim shirt, aviators, tan hat with a red bandana around her neck, the other in a blue tank top and pink long sleeved shirt. There are Jurassic Park visitor's tags on their shirts. They're both looking up into the distance at something startling.

I couldn’t help but see my boy, Jones, in Riot. Jones legitimately would have fought a mountain lion, a king cobra, and even a boggart if it meant protecting his two moms. We miss him every day, and I still would trade the world to bring him back to us.💙

One thing about me is that if some old white guy on a bike calls out for me to "keep going!" when I'm on my cool down walk, my face is going to show EXACTLY how I feel about it.😂🙄😑🤷‍♀️ #running #runsky

Doing a pretty good job of pretending she didn't wait for me to bend down to untie my running shoes so she could run over and headbutt me an hour ago... #dogsofbluesky #dogsky
A tan terrier/hound mix sits in front of you with her big brown eyes wide in innocence. She's reminding you that she's just a little baby and you're not allowed to be annoyed she nearly gave you a concussion.

First 6 miles were damp, but not awful. Last 1.5 were windy, soaking, and straight up not fun. But at least it finally feels like fall! #running #runsky

"The world will drive a woman insane, then point at them and laugh."

Adding Play Nice to my favorite haunted house books list. It is also easily one of my favorites of @rachelharrison.bsky.social. (Black Sheep is still my GOAT of hers.)💜🖤🩷

#books #booksky
Play Nice by Rachel Harrison. The book has a white cover with a purple and pink house. The house is wrapped up in a demon's tail and has cobwebs, a dark figure in an upper window, and an eye looking out from the very top window.

Me returning from the stacks after finding a "lost" library book no one else could find.😏

Get yourself in a spooky mood with a spooky read about a place that only exists on Halloween. For anyone who's ever had a best friend they'd do anything for.🧡🖤🎃💀

Book cover titled Ember’s Hollow by Deanne Marcus-Rupert. The cover has two girls standing in what appears to be a forest. One girl stands in the foreground, blacked out, but looking fairly solid. The other girl stands closer to the trees, also blacked out, but looking much more hazy. The tagline at the bottom of the cover reads Be Careful What You Look For. The book sits on a black and white blanket with occult symbols on it.

Long legged tan terrier/hound mix is looking at you from her spot on the couch after her walk this morning. Her honey colored eyes are wide open in pure joy, her ears are up, and her mouth is stretched wide in a smile.

This arrived today at the library, and I am so excited to finally read these stories. #BabyCanYouDigYourMan

You're holding a library copy of The End of the World As We Know It - New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand. Edited by Christopher Golden and Brian Keene. Introduction by Stephen King. In the bottom corner of the book you can see a raven's head whose eye is red with an X in it.

Those 13% Boxer genes are strong today in this blanket thief. #dogsofbluesky #dogsky
Long legged tan terrier/hound mix is looking at you from the couch where she's stolen a blanket off the back of the couch and is now snuggled with it. Her mouth is turned down in a frown and her ears are down trying to make herself look miserable enough that you won't take it from her.

If you're wondering if you should buy my new book Ember’s Hollow, here's what my brother said about it. I'd say he's a pretty good judge since he grew up with my spooky ass.

(Yes, we're in each other's phones as Sam and Dean Winchester.) #books #booksky

Ember’s Hollow is ready for the world! I started this book with the simple idea 'a place that only exists on Halloween' & ended with a story about friendship that I'm ready proud of. I hope you love reading it as much as I loved writing it.🧡🖤🎃💀

Buy her through my website.

When I say my mom is the GOAT of gift giving, I'm not exaggerating. She sent me this incredible Goosebumps shirt to celebrate my new book coming out tomorrow.💚🥹 And of course, my goofy ass had to wear it to work today.
Partial view of a woman's chest and arm wearing a button down shirt covered in book covers from the children'sbook series Goosebumpsby RL Stine. Some that are visible are The Horror at Camp Jellyjam, The Haunted Mask, The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena, Attack of the Jack o Lanterns, and One Day at Horrorland.

Charlie head tilt timeline cleanse.💜 #dogsofbluesky #dogsky
Long legged terrier/hound mix with a white chest and black and white muzzle standing on the couch looking at you with her head tilted to the side. She's possibly wondering where her dinner is even though it's not time for her dinner.

Sleeping in our own bed last night was great, but man am I missing New Orleans' food and drinks already.💚💛💜
Two women sitting at the bar named Fritzel's. There are string lights hanging from the ceiling and a jazz band playing in the background. A woman sitting in a tall beach chair outside a restaurant named Lucy' Retired Surfers Bar & Restaurant. You're looking down at crawfish étouffée in a bowl in front of you and a bowl of gumbo across the table from a place called Mother's Restaurant. Both dishes were life changingly delicious. A lime colored drink that looks like a margarita but is actually a gin and absinthe drink. It tasted like lemon lime licorice.

Museum of Death: Hollywood✔️
Museum of Death: New Orleans✔️

And I didn't have to worry about Kacie passing out since she was in class all day.

Side note: When she went with me to the one in LA, it told me she was serious about us. She hates blood more than anyone I know. Never settle, friends.
Glass storefront for Museum of Death. There are red curtains in the windows as well as artwork of skeletons in fancy dress. Woman sitting in a yellow fake electric chair. There are beads on hanging on the back with neon lighting bolts hanging over it. Directly above is a clock that says Museum of Death New Orleans with a skull in the middle. Along the bottom is says Where the big easy meets the big sleep.

Pretty sure it's illegal to visit New Orleans and not stop at Café du Monde for some beignets. #NOLA
Three beignets on a plate drowning in powdered sugar. An iced café au lait sits just behind the plate.
