My dog Sonic is ready for Santa.

I told my dog Sonic about everyone’s stressing out over another Mike Johnson “I don’t know” moment. Sonic thought you might like a glamour shot to make you smile.

I made my mom’s bread pudding recipe for the holiday. Now I have to resist eating it before tomorrow!

I’m trying a new way to make the bird this year. High heat for 45 minutes. Remove the foil. Baste in herbed butter. And then slow cook at 325 until it’s done. Sonic loves how the house smells. #turkeyday #thanskgiving

Thanksgiving comes early! My neighbors gave me a frozen 19lb turkey last weekend and it finally thawed. I’m doing an herb butter under the skin and will bake it tomorrow. My sous chef, Sonic, is always keeping an eye on things. #turkeyday #thanskgiving

With all of the stress going on in the news and life, my dog Sonic wanted to let everyone know he had a great spa day, and his anal glands have been purged. The smile says it all !!!!

Some shows absolutely deserve a reboot. In the early 1980s, Starblazers was a fantastic early, anime cartoon series. In 2010 Japan release a movie version. I would love to see @Netflix or another streamer make a live action version of this show. It deserves the modern touch!

I got my proof copy of the paperback for my new book. I’m going to spend this cloudy Sunday giving it a read and looking for any little errors that might’ve crept through the endless edits that have been done so far. Then I can finally publish it this week!

Today’s the day! I’m in the process of uploading my new book for self-publishing. eBook should go live today. The paperback most likely by the weekend. I will keep everyone posted. So excited to have this next book done. Two more to go to close out the three part trilogy.

My first review popped up today for my latest kids book. I’m glad he found the story LOL because while writing it I felt it was the funniest book yet in the series. And Buddy definitely steals every scene.

I’m dog sitting for two weeks. Well, more like pony sitting. The little dog is mine. The big one is our guest. Two chill senior dogs living their best life. Three if you count me. 🤣

I'm currently redesigning many, but not all, of my book covers. Here's my first take at a more cinematic-looking Dawn of Eve, with the original on the left. My goal is to get an image that makes people stop and click while scrolling through books on Amazon. Thoughts?
