I really enjoyed it!

Great for whom? For the oil company moguls who are funding Trump's corrupt government. Certainly not for consumers.

Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trump’s criminal war on Iran, we could:

-Extend ACA subsidies for one year
-Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people
-And ensure Medicaid coverage for nearly 2 million people

It’s not about what we can afford. It’s about priorities.

Yes, I already have pros lined up. Glad you like the idea. We'll see if I can pull it off -- I already figured out the point-of-no-return date, so if I haven't accomplished X by that date, I'll pull the plug.

My point of no return will be April 15 — tax day in the US. Will I make it?

Ah, the fun and excitement of being an #IndieAuthor.

Last night I had a brainstorm — why not publish the second book of my #mystery series on my protagonist’s birthday?

Let’s see. . . Still need to finish semi-final round of revisions, get it to ARC readers and get their feedback and reviews, get a cover made, go through final round of [1/2]

Publishing my First Mystery Ebook was Easy. Getting it into Print? Not So Much. . . I’m what’s known as an indie author. At my age, I figured I didn't have the time to find an agent and a big publishing house. Instead,

Being an #IndieAuthor means you do it all yourself. As I've recently discovered, some steps are easier than others. . .

Woohoo!!!? Just received my first foreign royalty payments for DROWNING IN DECEPTION!! Hey, $20 is still twenty bucks, right???

It's an edgy cozy because, where a pure cozy has zero violence on the page, this has a little bit. Plus a bit of salty language, and some darker themes like PTSD.

I don't have any pictures of snow and blizzard aftermath to share. Thank God! I spent the first half of my life in snow country, in Colorado, Massachusetts, Vermont, and upstate New York. Now I'm happy to see this when I come outside in the morning.

People don't want data centers polluting their cities.

They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors.

They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home.

They want their basic needs met.

This made me laugh.

Edgy Cozy Mystery is my thing. 😄

Definitely a bit of both. Who was it - Stephen King maybe? - who said something like, 'I only write when inspiration strikes. Fortunately, it strikes every morning promptly at 9 am.'

I think creativity needs [1/2]
