The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I'm getting another short story published!

Happy Sunday, friends! Remember to grab moments of peace whenever you can.

Went to Tahlequah, Oklahoma last evening and was pleasantly surprised to find this quaint little bookstore and a pride flag flying at the pizza restaurant we ate at. 🏳️‍🌈

That’s really neat (coming from a former teacher!) I just learned this tidbit in one of my aunt’s books. Glad she has so many stories documented.

Did you know my aunt was the first female reporter allowed to interview jockeys at the Kentucky Derby? This was also the same year the first woman jockey raced there. Badasses, both of them.

Ok thanks!

The world may be burning down but hey, I got shortlisted for an anthology!

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Where can we watch it?

Long days with babies
Hasten into shrinking years
Time, a lovely thief

Things that will forever be a mystery to decent human beings. 😕

You can’t be both a terrible human being and a good President. It’s just not possible.

Never thought when I started this dystopian novel 10 years ago that I'd be able to draw from real life fascism as I work on it again now.

Amid the dancing fireflies

Finding Joy in the Process Lessons in Life and Writing

Hello Bluesky, it's been a minute. I've been trying to do less social media (with variable success). But if there's any group of people I want to hang out with online, it's writers. Oh, and I have a new Substack out. :-)

Echoing through the forest

When you’ve always had a complicated relationship with your mom, Mother’s Day just feels weird.

Air warming
Sun kissing my skin
Sweet summer

Sprouting girl
Grows like a weed
Then blossoms

on a lonely hill
the wind still whispers
to an old windmill

Always moving but
Never going anywhere
Lone prairie windmill

I’m so sad that I could only dole out money to buy one book on Independent Bookstore Day but I suppose one is better than none!
