Look at this handsome friend we met today on our walk❀️

We also met a spider that looked like bird poop, but my camera was too overcome by its beauty that it refused to take a clear picture.

RELEASE DAY! πŸŽ‰

She's here. She's finally here. This beautβ€”it ties together 4 years of writing & refining the same 105k words until we wanted to feed it to our dogs. But we made it. We persevered. And we're so, so glad we did.

Thank you to @conquestpublishing for partnering with us on this journey!

While I like to think my inner animal would be something cool, like a bear or a hawk, I know deep down that it is this dumb pigeon just trying get birdseed from a feeder designed for finches #hardtruths
