We make homemade pizza just for fun, also because it's delicious, and yesterday we made pizza pretzels. But also, kinda forgot to get a shot of them, so you get the mad mummy dogs instead with a peek at the pizza pretzels on the left. Happy October! 😊🎃

Yes, agree! Also, I remembered it wasn't the redwoods but the sequoias. Went there a few years ago. Amazing! Sorry, got them mixed up! But I do love the redwoods too. Been there too but it's been a while. All amazing trees!

Love those amazing big trees! My husband used a pic we took of the redwoods as part of the background design of my front book cover. Nature is awesome. 🙌

Sorry. Last, last #UnhingedPit post, promise. This is for a 2nd project, my WIP, Badgerblood 2.

Princess Bride X Sword of Shannara X Don Quixote...? (Maybe. But without singing and hair. Maybe. Okay, MOST POVs w/hair. 🧔)

Last of my #UnhingedPit posts!
SWORD OF SHANNARA X SHADOW OF THE FOX
Chuck Norris doesn't cry tears, he cries badgers.

#YA #F #P #SelfPublished

Collage of front book cover for "Badgerblood Awakening" by S.C. Monson, meme with scribbled out words and with words under another collage of 4 badger faces. The first 3 are angry and the last is calm. Words under each read in this order: "How my friends see me," "How tyrants see me," "How my prey sees me," and "How I see myself." Under that there is another badger meme that reads Badger (and borlan), The Chuck Norris of the Borwood Timberland."

What's more unhinged than doing more than 3 posts? 😏

WAKE, a wildly reimagined BEAUTY AND THE BEAST retelling featuring a hate-hate relationship with:

~pointless fights
~bickering
~name calling
~& this kind of energy

You're welcome, world 😈

How to win over a girl:

1. Kidnap her

2. Torture her

3. Force her to live with you

4. Take away her hopes & dreams

5. Accidentally throw things at her when she surprises you

6. Freak out if she touches you

7. Give her the silent treatment
