My first crochet drawstring bag!

THE LAST PORTNOVA (79k) #H #PR #A close to #Q. Iona pricks her finger on a bewitched painting, unleashing the power to speak to the dead triggering severe weather/accidents her loved ones are involved in. She must break the spell, say goodbye to her parents X2, or become a ghost haunting the living.

My ghost coaster! Pattern from Stitch By Fay! Fall crochet fun.

My novel: upmarket paranormal horror (79k). When Iona pricks her finger on a cursed painting, she unleashes the power to speak to the dead and the curiosity to uncover her family history. She must decide if she is strong enough to let go of her parents a second time or become one of the dead.

Feeling like fall! Making some fall leaf coasters. Next are ghost coasters! Crochet all day!

I saw this cute little bunny on my walk today. I love him. That is all.

Blue skies as far as the eye can see!

I recommend having a writing group that humors your use of magic candles and play dough for candle holders! #revpit #writingcommunity

Oh! Here is my wildcard post. #RevPit I love when I get things that coincide with a writing project I am working on. It always makes me feel like I am spending time doing something I am meant to. #RevPitwaiting

We also attended a No Kings protest at Dawes park while spring breaking!

Delivered these crochet items to my niece and nephew over spring break. We spent time in Chicago and Evanston. Glad to be home! The weather was super up and down while we were there.

I love the feeling of starting a new anticipates book! Right now, that is this one, Midnight Timetable by Bora Chung!

Aw, I love this! We had to say goodbye to our sweet corgi mix (probably mostly Carolina dog) Mika in November. She will forever be missed!

If you like K-dramas and books I recommend a romance is a Bonus Book on Netflix! I took this screenshot because it mentions a novella that I read may years ago based on a friend saying a lot of other books etc. reference it! Ta-da! Who else has seen in? What did you think?

Check out @runningwildllc.bsky.social at the Tucson Festival of Books and buy a book! You can grab the anthology (27 Stories) pictured there and read my short story, Outlaw’s Dust! Let me know if you read it. #fiction #shortstories
