Happiness is realizing that your takeout cup is insulated and can now hold iced coffee. So I definitely have iced coffee. #writer #blackauthor #coffee

Weather can be so different from day to day in Texas, but we have consistently gotten rain almost every week this summer. At least, it's pretty and there is wildlife to observe. #wildlife #writer #inspiration

I just took this fire pic after an event last night. I should save it for an author photo or release a 90s inspired album. Feeling like they should add an "E" to TLC. #author #writing #romance #blackbooksky #booksky

I'd love to share that I did a lot of writing this week, but in reality, I wrote a paragraph and then went to a vineyard. I think it counts as research. This is Chapelton Vineyards, btw. #writer #writing #wine #blackbooksky #blackwriter #romance #booksky

My editor took a bath and now she's demanding my second draft. I can't refuse that face, so I guess I need to go ahead and finish it. #writer #blackwriter #blackbooksky #booksky #romance

The day before I do a self-imposed writing sprint, I fortify myself with greek coffee. Why I'm doing this the day before and not the day of? I'll be unnaturally awake for the next 48 hours. #booksky #writer #blackbooksky

Well, that would be what we call snow and it is snowing, actively. That's kinda cool. Also, going back to bed.
