"Why do I keep going on adventures with you?"
"You enjoy my company."
"Your 'company' always tries to get me killed."
"The gold?"
"Not enough in the world."
".. My sister?"
"She did threaten to murder me horribly if I didn't protect you." #miniSFF #storytime #amwriting

Book signing for my ya sci-fi went well. Sold 5 books!! But, and this is the bad news. I’m losing my publisher. I don’t want to self publish, which means I’m back to querying and I lose all Amazon reviews end of Nov (cry!). Good news, I keep the Goodreads ones! So if you’ve read the book, please post an honest review here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33982623-stone-of-power #amwriting #amreading

Went to Texas Ren Fest. This is the results of all the work on the Viking costume and my elf costume! Our shields got a lot of attention. #artwork #viking #ampainting #renfest #cosplay #texas

I was on a walk a few days ago and discovered this little guy wandering around. He was super sweet and with some patience I was able to grab him. Still looking for the owner, but if my allergies don’t act up, I may be keeping him. #rabbit #pet

SORRY FOR THE LONG ABSENCE! I've had a lot of stuff happen, including my phone die and it took me way too long to get caught up. I'M BACK with a ton of news!

Driving to Tyler, Texas today to get ready for my book signing at the library tomorrow!

Finally done with this first draft of book 2 of the Keepers of Earth!!!! Weeeeee!!! Only problem is I don't have a title for it. Working title is 'Keeper War', but I'm not sold on it yet. Oh well! Problem for later. Onto edits! #amediting #amwriting

And one more post! Here are my favorite pics I got from the eclipse. Didn't see the totality, but got some shots of the sunspots. #eclipse #science #photography

It's raining! Listen to the frogs! The bird saying 'no hope' faintly in the background is an inca dove. #frogs #nature #rain #texas

I hate pockets
Pockets with hidden mini pockets inside the first pocket.
Fake pockets that make you think for a second they are there.
Pockets with buttons and zippers you have to undo before you can use them.
Too short pockets that let things fall out.
Too narrow pockets that don’t allow anything in.
Pockets only on the back and fancy pockets with holes
Pockets that show everything I carry.
I really, truly, hate pockets.
But I wish I had more, because I hate purses more.

Godlin: We need them angry, we should send in Tran.
Raptor: He'll just annoy them. No, if we really want to piss them off, we send Tech.

Holy crap, have I had a crazy week! My dishwasher heating coil burned through the bottom of the dishwasher and flooded the kitchen, UNDER the flooring. When you walked on it, it went, squish, squish, and was like walking on a waterbed. It was both freaky and cool and an OMG moment all the same time. Bad news is, this means #amwriting slows down a lot while I deal with this, but hey, good news is I get a new floor/dishwasher.

Been doing a lot of writing lately. Planning out the final battle! Though, my original plan for the battle won't work, as I realized that space is big. I mean to show off this bigness, but we'll see how well I do. #amwriting #sciencefiction #science
