Your paraphrase of my description of the book: SO much better than my description.

An ancient prophecy. A trail of murders. And a baby shower gone horribly wrong. Welcome to the world of the Goldenheart Mysteries—where wit meets wickedness. 🔮 #mystery #fantasy #detective

An ancient prophecy of evil, a series of murders, and the worst baby-shower ever. If you enjoy a complex mystery with a smart and witty heroine, you will love the Goldenheart Mysteries! #mystery #novel #fantasy #detective

Here are some #mandalas from my #coloringbook Mandalas and Punctuation Marks. Fun and interesting. I drew a bunch of mandalas in Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles. Not sure if that was ever a thing. But it was fun.

My mother knows NOTHING of this.

The number of book marketing humans writing to me is, um, notable. The number of them who send a DM only to delete their account later... that part is also notable. This is where I say 'no judgement' with a tone.

It’s very cool. You look stylish. It is inspiring!

The whole day sneezing. Not sick. Apparently just surviving an unusually warm Wisconsin winter.

Bluesky needs a little 'edit post' button. OR... does it have one that I missed?? I just posted something where I meant to say I do NOT do something, but instead I was typing fast said I DO something. Something that I don't do, dangit. Okay. Very minor rant, given the state of the world.

Money. Humans are susceptible.

Just about there too, new friend.

The problem with my phone / problem with me : I'm getting notifications on many platforms with people giving advice. I cannot figure out what they are talking about. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I would prefer them to recommend apple fritters from different bakeries. They ARE NOT.

I stumbled across your blog, the other day. It's really cool, Kathy.

Assuming we still have schools.

A lovely recipe for apple fritters! #donuts #DIY #applefritters

Very cool. Coincidentally I have a dentist appt today too and also working on a 3rd novel.

Sometimes I HATE drawing. So yeah.

The Tower. Digital painting commission by me.
