Went on vacation in the Caribbean. Humidity so intense it required gills. Still look at this beauty.

Oh my gawd. I could never. My brain gets too tracked into the details of one. But two?!?

Good news. My editor has returned the manuscript. I'd been holding my breath for a couple of weeks. You know how it goes. But it came back with high praise. I can breathe again. Final polish time. #AmEditing #BookSky #Horror #LiteraryGhostStory #WritingLife #OctoberRelease

Hey all. The seasons turn once again to first harvest called Lammas and Lughnassadh. Focus is on reaping, taking stock of action and its results. Everything is cause and effect. Can't ditch it. But you can live with it mindfully. #Lughnassadh #JohnBarleyCorn #Lammas #TheWheelTurns #Harvest

Something weird in the water. Spotted a circular submerged light in the Caribbean Sea between St. Thomas and Puerto Rico. It is overcast and earlier I saw only a slim crescent: not enough to cover this specific defined circular area. Not surface light. Lit from below. What am I seeing? #ufo

The new novel is in the editor's hands now. The good news is Joe's read half (with just my edits) and says he's "entranced" and loves it. I came in during his reading, called his name, and he screamed. My work is done. #AmEditing #BookSky #Horror-stories #HorrorSky #WriterSky #WritingLife

I grew up with summers at the beach. Now I have a totally "not embarrassing at all" obsession with surfing movies and competitions. I don't surf. But my brothers do. I was the boogie board kid. Do I cry when someone nails a 360 air reverse? Maybe. Do I pretend I know what that is? Also maybe.

Barley is getting tired of the slow service around here. Long Island Iced Tea, pronto, or he's leaving a two-star.

People seem less and less concerned about #consequences lately. At this point, I’d welcome one of Whitley Strieber’s aliens to beam me up to Planet #Zoloft, where everyone floats around smiling faintly… and no one remembers why. #Beammeup #WTH

Oh #Editors. Don't you have anything better to do than hack with your butchering logic and slicing insights at my gorgeous, flawless, errorless prose? Someone's gotta do it, I s'pose. I can't look! #Booksky #Horror #WIP #AmEditing #YoullBeSorry

11 years ago I got hitched to this guy. He hasn't kicked me out yet. As Martha Stewart used to say, "it's a good thing."

Brace yourselves. Living n the edge of #absurdity as I do, you may not be surprised to find out I was once a stage performer. Here I am at 17 at #Disneyland in a Christmas parade as a #TapDancing penguin. #PastLives #WritingLife #CrazinessOfYouth #Dancer

Well the final draft is done. There was a scare with text duplications while grammar checking. But that's resolved and it looks great! Rest, then off to the editor! #WritingLife #BookSky #AmEditing #AmQuerying #LiteraryHorror #Horror #FinalDraft #FinalEdit

Went to my first New Orleans jazz funeral today. A neighbor who was a prominent jazz saxophonist passed and his friends from all over the country came, lined up with their brass, and marched. It was incredibly moving.

Please share πŸ₯° this is the last day to grab a free copy. This one is short and you can probably read it in an hour or so. Remember to leave a review. πŸ–€ a.co/d/7MwN24Y

The Huntington Library is an annual pilgrimage for me. Art, gardens. Prefect distraction from worries of the day and the frazzle that comes with writing.

20 pages and a few tweaks from my husband who always gets the first read. Off to the editor after July 10th. But might dare to look for representation. Or a small house. #AmEditing #AlmostDone #Writing #Horror #Indie #BookSky

50 pages from THE END and I’m feeling all the feels: triumphant, exhausted, overly attached to fictional people, and slightly feral.

Send snacks. Send edits. Send emotional support ghosts.
