How do we feel about trope maps on Mastodon? Asking because I want to share the slightly wobbly trope map I made for Watermyth yesterday but I'm kind of scared I'll be laughed out of Masto-town!

#Today 05.2

Good day!

Here’s a video from earlier. Sorry about breathing like a racehorse. My lungs make that necessary.

At the end I pan over Marshall Canyon. There’s an abandoned ski area. At the last, it points towards Hellgate Canyon.

It was cloudy all day, no rain.

Be everwell.

#Today 05

Good day!

What an adventure!

I hiked into the high country while climbing Mt. Jumbo on the way (it didn’t take much).

14-miles (22.5K) & 3,629 ft (1,106M).

The only people I saw were close to the trailhead.

Then, the day waning, as was my endurance, I found a good reason to turn around.

Be everwell.

Another PSA about Amazon:

They only pay authors 30% in royalties (even if they price above 2.99) when someone buys a book through Amazon COM while not actually living in the US.

That's right. Amazon "steals" 40% of my royalties because the customer is in a different location that the USA.

Why?

Because they can. Because we authors let them get away with that. No other store does this.

Buy direct. Or at least not through Amazon.

#Today 04

Good day!

I can’t take it anymore!

Hiking photos, that is.

Mastodon overflows with hiking inspiration. So, another hike. This morning. It might not be spectacular, but it’ll be satisfying.

And my last hike before publishing Book-2, A River in Each Hand.

Be everwell.

Working with my editor on When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women, a literary fantasy set in the great city of New Orleans. Did I mention the murderous grannies are based on my own ancestral grannies, exaggerated a bit?

For many years, I have looked at haiga in awe and wanted to try my hand at one.

My penmanship has never been really good, but the whole process of creating the haiga was very relaxing.

Friends!

Today, I present to you the cover of Convergence of Connection!

Isn’t it stunning?

Check out my latest blog post for an in-depth look at what’s on the cover, and to read the blurb. (NOTE: The blurb talks about what happens in book three; naturally, that means there are spoilers for books one and two.)

#Today 03

Good day!

I ran headlong into the wall of exhaustion last night from a lack of sleep, & so went to bed early. Now, I’m struggling to wake up.

This morning, it’s chilly & the birds outside have a lot to say about it.

Clouds are moving in, but no rain. Yawn…

Be everwell.

I want to write some short stories - they’re less consuming. Has anyone done a mash up space opera and horror? #writingCommunity

Happy Pride Month!

I just finished writing this scene from my WIP, and I wanted to share it with you all.

Francis + Caius

(I'm not a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, but I am a strong ally. I included the pride hashtag below, but if that's inappropriate, please let me know and I'll remove it.)

#Today 01

Good day!

Even from a distance, this early morning scene beckoned to me.

Contrast. Time. Seasons of life. Of course, nature. The variety of experiences knows no end—if we seek them out.

June has arrived with the year’s longest day. More time to explore.

Be everwell.

So nanowrimo is officially ded. Even though it died a nasty death, it did bring me a heap of positives.
