This is a musical inspired by a Studs Terkel book. Great performance this past weekend at the Art Station Theatre in Stone Mt., Ga. #theatercollective #TheatreSky
Open mic night at my local #library. #Libraries are great! #librarian #librarylife
This reminds me to live a little dangerously: a bird eating snacks Dean put out for the cats.
I'm talking this one up! My nephew Andrew is in the musical County Fair that's running in Forsyth, GA, through July 26. A fun show!! #TheatreSky
I finally grew a sunflower -- even if it does seem to be hanging its head.
It's time to talk about my novel Part of the Stars again. It's set in the Boston Mountains area of Arkansas and Oklahoma in the late 1800s. Part historical novel, part sci-fi / fantasy. shorturl.at/ZRZj9 #WritingandBooks #BookSky
Here's the fun of being a science fiction author. You can have wild and crazy costumes at your book launch party. This was the 2024 party for The Underground Chameleon. #booksky #writingandbooks
I like to use real places as settings in my novels sometimes. Like A & M Peanut Shop on Dauphin Street in Mobile, AL. This is where Carly, the main character in A Matter of Respect, meets up with Mary. #BookSky #WritingandBooks
Now that it's gotten real hot down here in Atlanta, I'm drawn to books like this -- described as a descent into the the hidden horrors of a sweltering Guadalajara summer. #BookSkt #WritingandBooks
A great event at Manuel's Tavern -- the Atlanta United Nations Association annual gathering with Laura Turner, Ted Turner's daughter, as the keynote speaker. Thank you, Molly Woo, for the invite! @fao.org
Delightful presentation about poison from murder mystery author Sheila S. Hudson. (At a meeting last week of Scribblers and Sisters in Crime.) #BookSky #WritingandBooks
It's always nice to see my books on display! #BookSky #WritingandBooks
Italian sausages and peppers, anyone? I made this for the first time. It was great.
I'm re-living the pleasure of having my short story "Shrewd Women" published in this eye-catching magazine. 💙📚#writingandbooks
Napping on an electrical cord? Some members of my household live dangerously.
Ok. Sometimes I don't know whether I'm coming or going. But still got to put one foot ahead of another.
Need a beach read? Try Another Kind of Hero. Amazon seems to think it's my most popular novel. shorturl.at/uoNTh #BookSky #WritingandBooks
Here's Dean's view from the window of a Waffle House. It's a little idealized, don't you think? Most vistas are just parking lots.
Yes! My 2025 novel has been nominated for a Georgia Author of the Year award in the science fiction / fantasy category. www.authoroftheyear.org/2026-nominee...
Happy that my son and daughter-in-law are visiting in Georgia! They're staying in a vacation rental dedicated to love and music.
Why not spend time blowing bubbles? 📚💙 #theatercollective #writingandbooks #art #play #fun
It's that time of year! I'm very proud of my grandson, Teddy, who's graduated from the University of N. Georgia.
These deer are eating clover in our yard! They've migrated from the woods where a developer has taken down almost all the trees to build a huge complex near Panola Road. I have no idea how these deer will survive.
I went down to Forsyth, GA, recently, where my sister lives. My novel Another Kind of Hero, is set in this small Georgia town. #BookThreads #writingandbooks
The Atlanta Pen Women art show opens on May 15 at Chastain Arts Center & Gallery. It's a juried exhibition of women artists in Georgia. I'm active in Pen Women -- this show should be good! atlantapenwomen.org
