Can you believe it's #NationalBookLoversDay! It's outrageous to separate one novel from its kin, but The Two Towers is the best in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Yes, this is a hill I will die on. #BookSky 💙📚 #readingcommunity @sfwa.bsky.social

He may not have $$$ from deep-pocketed donors, but MO District 8 voters can count on Frank Barnitz to come to their communities, learn what they need & work his tail off to bring greater prosperity to SE MO. @jesspiperfanpage.bsky.social @stegenmodem.bsky.social @missouridemocrats.bsky.social

MO District 8 NEEDS A CHANGE! It's not going to be easy & it's only going to get uglier from here on, but we gotta do what we gotta do if we want to repair this democracy. @missouriindependent.com @jesspiperfanpage.bsky.social @nobullbarnitz.bsky.social @fbarnitzfanpage1.bsky.social

The Frank Fan Club was drawing some attention at 10th and Pine in Rolla this morning. Go MO District 8! Baby Ivy was the star waver. @nobullbarnitz.bsky.social @stegenmodem.bsky.social @thebackforty.bsky.social @missouridemocrats.bsky.social @iquitcigs.bsky.social

So I got my 4 virgin queens about a month ago. Installed them & saw that they released successfully then I just let them bee. All 4 mated successfully and the colonies are full of brood. Yay! Shout out to Cory Stevens www.stevensbeeco.com & his mite resistant queens. #beekeeping #UpperOzHoney

The evening was a grand success, and the rain held off. Quilts were raffled, cornhole was played, pork loin was eaten. And my brother Frank Barnitz raised a bit more $ to fuel this campaign for change. #Missouri #MODistrict8

"O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” My fantasy novel The Stonebound Heir was reviewed yesterday by Kristen McDowell. I'm still a #SPFBO XI contender!!!!! Check out her commentary here: superstardrifter.com

Hi Bee, I'd love to see some character art, but I have very little money for such things so I'm not sure it's worth your time.

MO Congressional District 8: 18,000 plus sq miles. Poor. Poor health profiles. Few economic opps. My brother- Frank Barnitz @nobullbarnitz.bsky.social - really doesn't care which party you voted for in the past. He's running for those who dare to ask for a better future.

Here's a little taste of chapter 4 from The Stonebound Heir. #SPFBOXI #epicfantasy #readingcommunity

Biscuit & I are creatures of habit: She jumps on my desk at regular times then steps into my lap as I type. She turns exactly twice before lying down for pets & the use of my right arm for her chin rest. 1/2
