Novelist: sci fi with snarky older heroines who've run out of f***s to give. In Boston, into Star Trek since B4 ya were born ya young whippersnapper + delight in smol dogs that make shnurffly sounds. I seek content writing work & more fiction publication!
In #RealHubOfTheUniverse, Ceilidh dreams of a better life away from tiny, cramped, dirt poor Ballyvaughan. Her imagination also serves her well for coming up w/new things to cook, but she also thinks her employer's kindness = an attraction, not realizing he's what we'd now call gay
My God. How can that idiot get dressed in the morning without accidentally strangling himself with his own shoelaces? Or with someone trying to do it for him?
Methinks that schools need to start teaching the Vonnegut story, Harrison Bergeron.
Very old school sexist and feels very entitled but with no merit and no effort.
In #TheInvisibleGang, Alvin spends part of his downtime hitting on his dying wife's friend. He also gambles away their life's savings and talks to his daughter, aggrandizing himself at the expense of his wife.
A break from reality.
Over 115k on the current WIP #TheInvisibleGang but our gal has one slight problem…
SP: My life is in despair
QO Hotline: Have you tried overnight soaking?
* What is your quest? (alt: What, me worry?)
* Where have all the flowers gone? (alt: Where is the love?)
* Why a duck?
* Who let the dogs out? (alt: Who can it be now?)
* When is the turkey gonna be done?
And finally, the immortal…
* Are we there yet?
AND
* Do you know the way to San Jose?
My mother's father was a clerk for the Brooklyn Navy Yard. My dad's father owned a dry cleaner's.
In a sentence: The eleemosynary valetudinarian wore eau de hircine and wondered why the only people who wanted to date her were charitable hypochondriac goatherds.
Eleemosynary
Valetudinarian
Hircine
Sending you love, sweetie.
I just kept thinking of - how much worse can I make this? Sorry, not sorry, characters.
Time Addicts antag Robin C McKenna is nasty + power-hungry. If she can recall older timelines + their changes, then the sky's the limit. Discards her bf for the $ man in their cabal
Obolonk Murders antag Rachel Gifford is very rich + has no use for the little ppl except as props to do her bidding
Ceilidh: 1876-1888 (?) IIRC
Peri: just a year or so
Craig + the rest of the #Mettle gang: March-Sept of 1 yr
Marnie: ~1 yr
Invisible Gang: ~3 mos
Time Addicts: multiple timelines/yrs between now + 2527 or so (pt of this one includes what happened to Peri, see above)
@parallel-us-verse.bsky.social greetings, fellow author + tx for followerizing me. I have reciprocated. Now, time for me to write using a chihuahua POV.
#FancyPaws
Hells yeah! :D
@elliejaywrites.bsky.social Hey thanks for following! Always fun to meet a fellow indie! *waves from New England to, er, Mature England?*
He's a super-sophisticated robot who can morph! 1 of the 1st things he morphs into is her ex-MIL. #awkward Takes him 3 books before emotions go from weights + measures to the real thing for him. Since 3d trilogy will be a war, he *may* become a gen'l. Very fuzzy plot so far, partly based on Ukraine
#ObolonkMurders - Tommy2k was created to help out Peri
#EnigmanCave - Marnie + Trixie met at Deep Space Training Schl
#Mettle - Noah + Elise were neighbors

Probably 'cause it's right over paradise.
Well done but (IMHO) a little tough to read the white lettering overlaying the acid green dots. Thank you for doing this!
Did the East German judge give it a 6?
Fab! #writersky it's time to shine!
Phone's a new invention in Ceilidh's time; she'd wonder why anyone wanted to talk w/a scullery maid. Peri takes any oppty to question possible witnesses. MJ launches into her own sales pitch. Craig tells 'em off w/twangy, colorful language. Eden rpts 'em. Marnie gives 'em her ex's number.
Oh, I get the same. It was the first thing I thought of #truth :D
That bad perm is a crime against hairdressing humanity!
Ah I was only there in summer when I was ~ 14 (?) so there were dinosaurs + Rome had not yet fallen.
In #TheObolonkMurders, Rachel Gifford is a mousey poor lil rich girl racist vs aliens. She teams w/televangelist Ted Moore + they recruit an army of suicide bombers, particularly going after Mods, who are assimilated Obolonks. Nasty to our heroine. I think readers want Peri to punch her in the mouth
