Thank you! I really don’t spend enough time there.

Spent the afternoon writing in my cozy upstairs office. Feels good to be working on the second book of my Restless Spirits series again.

The mass enjoyment of K-Pop Demon Hunters and Taylor Swift's new album are wonderful! I'm really enjoying this pop culture moment myself. I'd love to see something similar, even on small scale, happen to an indie author (like myself or my husband). Wouldn't that be amazing?

Happy Monday friends! Hope you're all having a great start to the week. I'm not feeling great so I've given myself permission to relax after recording another episode of "The Nevada Author Network" podcast with @jthume.bsky.social. Sometimes, we just need to rest.
