Why are vampires in #paranormal #romances always cool? I mean, we know people get stuck in their ways. Why wouldn’t vampires be the same? They wouldn’t be hanging out in a club looking all sexy. They’d be sitting at home complaining about how salad dressing used to be better. #booksky #indieauthor

This is a promotional graphic for the book "Vampire Detective Agency: First Bite" by Ross Weisfish. It highlights the book's genres as Paranormal Romance and Mystery, featuring a dual point of view and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers dynamic between an immortal punk vampire queen and a luckless human IT worker. The graphic also includes a positive Goodreads reader review and notes that the second book in the series lands on October 13th.

I took this #photograph in December on a Christmas week trip to the Oregon coast. I remember being disappointed with the conditions most of that week, but in hindsight those photos ended up being some of my best taken out there. Shot on a Sony A7C2 with a Sigma 24-70 lens.

When your cuffed suspect starts dropping ice cold threats, you might be in a #supernatural #thriller messing with forces beyond your comprehension. #booksky #indieauthor Book link: rossweisfish.com/books/lost-t...

This is an image of a page from a book, titled "Shepherds of Lost Things," page 78. The text depicts a tense interrogation scene involving an FBI Director, a woman named Wendy, and a handcuffed man named John. A specific quote from John is highlighted in yellow: "You think you're safe in this room with me because I'm handcuffed. But that's a lie you've allowed yourself to believe."

Final editing pass on my upcoming #vampire #detective novel and this is the kind of realistic adult spicy scene you should expect. 😆 #indieauthor #booksky

“Well, shit. Even blind, I can still kill the mood,” she growled.
He shook his head, “It’s okay. I’m tired too.”
She sighed, “I can be horny and tired. I’m talented.”

From the annuals of #notmyjob - I give you this one from my neighborhood.

This image shows a residential street with an orange "TREE WORK AHEAD" sign that has been placed upside down. In the background, there is a utility truck and orange traffic cones near some trees.

Hey #booksky, I’m sharing the first page of my upcoming (October 13th!) #vampire #detective novel, VDA: Double Date for #WriterShareWednesday. Working on final edits now. I’ll be posting the call for ARC readers later this month, alongside the first two chapters. rossweisfish.com/vampire-dete...

This image displays a page from an e-book titled "The Mistress' New Meal." The text introduces a character named Anja, a human with unique blood highly valued by vampires, who is being urgently flown across the ocean to meet someone important.

If you’re a hardworking FBI Agent chasing a strange serial killer but your parents still want you to show up for your niece’s Quinceañera party - you might be in a #supernatural #thriller written by an #indieauthor. #Booksky, I present - Shepherds of Lost Things.

This image shows a page from an e-book titled "Shepherds of Lost Things" on page 223. The text features a dialogue between a character named Cate and her father, discussing her absence from family events due to her job chasing a killer. Several lines are highlighted in yellow.

An orange sun rises. Juice was spilled this night.

This image shows a striking, deep red sun glowing through a hazy, smoke-filled sky. The scene is framed by the dark silhouettes of pine and deciduous trees, with the roof of a building visible in the foreground. The muted, warm tones of the sky suggest the presence of wildfire smoke or heavy atmospheric particles.

#Street #Photography but it’s all flowers edition. All taken at the PSU Farmers market in #Portland this weekend.

Did a photo walk with Pro Photo Supply‘s camera club at the PSU Farmer’s Market. Was a really good run of #street #photography practice. Here’s a few frames from today:

This black and white photo captures a lively conversation at an outdoor market. A man with a white beard, wearing a t-shirt that reads "Stop Making Drama You Aren't Shakespeare," is speaking animatedly while holding a travel mug. He is flanked by two people, one of whom is also holding a drink. A sign in the foreground reads "Introducing," and various market stalls and people are visible in the background.

This image displays a vibrant, close-up arrangement of fresh bell peppers in various shades of red, yellow, orange, and a touch of green.

A man and a woman walk through an outdoor market, both holding iced drinks. The man is wearing a blue patterned shirt and carrying a small, fluffy brown dog in a backpack, while the woman is wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and denim overalls.

This black and white photo captures two women walking a large, fluffy dog on a paved path in a park. The woman on the left wears a baseball cap and holds the dog's leash, while the woman on the right wears sunglasses and a cap, holding a drink. People and tents are visible in the background, suggesting an outdoor event.

Considering I ran zero promos, no ads, and didn’t do any social media posts this month… I’m pretty happy with these numbers. Starting in August I’ll be ramping up the posting/advertising/promoting ahead of releasing my next book, Vampire Detective Agency: Double Date.

This image displays a dashboard showing three key metrics: Estimated royalties of $10.07 (USD), 2 processed orders, and 720 KENP (Kindle Edition Normalized Pages) read.

Got to attend an incredible event last night at the Portland Japanese Garden: Dinner w/ sake served in artisanal cups from Japan. The view was amazing, the food was delicious, and the whole thing was so unique.

A man with a reddish-brown beard and glasses, wearing a light green Columbia shirt, holds a small cup with a wheat design. He is smiling slightly and looking at the camera. The background features traditional Japanese-style sliding doors (shoji) and wooden paneling.

This image shows a scenic view of a city skyline nestled among lush green trees, with a prominent, snow-capped mountain rising in the distance under a clear blue sky.

This image features two distinct ceramic cups resting on a white surface against a blurred background. The cup on the left has a rustic, organic shape with a textured, speckled brown and beige glaze. The cup on the right is a smooth, matte black, symmetrical bowl decorated with delicate, vertical white lines ending in small circles near the rim.

I hope Ubisoft never changes. Assassins Creed Black Flag Resynced.

Final #photographs taken on the on the rented #Fujifilm #GFX100RF. I think ultimately it’s an amazing sensor+lens combo, doubly amazing given the size & weight. If I was going to travel the world for a year, this is the camera I’d want to take. As an every day shooting camera? Ehhh. Not so much.

Another thousandish words written on Shepherds of Timeworn Dreams. After several false starts, a complete redo of my outline, and a few breakdowns... it feels like the book is finally coming together. I even took a few mins to rethink the cover art direction. #indieauthor #booksky

A few texture and vibe #photographs snapped yesterday of Latourell Falls in the Columbia River Gorge (in #Oregon). The rock formations around the falls were so interesting. In the first picture it almost looks like teeth grinning behind the water. Taken on Sony A7C2 w/ Sigma’s 20-200.

Started the morning at the Vista House and then hiked out to see two different waterfalls. Ended the morning at a lavender farm.

This is where I came in at. Wish that some games had hit August or been pushed a bit. Control in September is just too close to Wolverine for me.

Thinking about this #photo I took for #PDX Squared last month. I keep wondering if it could have been a contender if I’d edited it differently, or if it was always doomed because the composition was wrong. Played with the edit again this morning… yeah the composition is wrong.

Some #photos snapped yesterday on the inaugural Pro Photo Supply Photo Club #photowalk Taken on a Sony A7C2 w/ Sigma’s 20-200 lens. Or as I like to call it “the fucking, bring every focal length” setup.

Still looking for a few #vampire #detective #readers who want to help test ready my upcoming #paranormal #mystery with a heavy dose of #romance. Check out my blog for details.

This street photo taken in St. Johns always makes me smile. Feels quintessential Portlandia with the ghost bike, mural on the building, and the plastic birds hanging out all in the same frame

I love a good #romance #book but sometimes I wish the story went on a bit more. That’s why for my #paranormal #mystery series I spread the drama of Veronica and Larry across three books. Book one is out. Book two is coming this fall. Now is a great time to jump on. rossweisfish.com/books/vampir...

book ad: vampire seeking readers for consensual paranormal romance with some light mystery. quote says “blends classic detective noir with supernatural flair, giving us a private investigator who’s witty, sharp, and just a little bit dangerous…” four stars

Feels like a black & white #photography kind of day. Here’s a couple of my favorite #photos. All taken on a #SonyAlpha A7C2. Various lenses, but I’ll note how much I love Sony’s 24-50 F2.8 on my camera.

For your summer #reading may I suggest taking along Veronica, a sunlight hating vampire who just wants a quick bite and her snarky human companion, Larry, who is most definitely not her date. #booksky This #paranormal #detective story mixes #romance and #mystery.

book ad: “Vampire Seeking Readers” tag line reads - Paranormal, Mystery, Romance. Pull quotes “she’s an immortal punk who just wanted a quick bite.” and “slow burn enemies to lovers” and “he’s a luckless human who stumbled into a conspiracy” and finally “second book lands october 13th”

Visiting Klamath Falls, Oregon this holiday weekend. Took a few #photographs today on my #Sony A7C2 with the Sigma 20-200. It remains a great travel lens. I’d recommend it to anyone.

My camera bag pin collection finally feels complete. This is the best a #Wandrd bag can possibly look in my opinion.

Out in #Portland this morning shooting for the #PDXSquared #photography contest. Started okay, but just kept getting grayer and wetter as time went on. Between recent life events and the weather - my creative juices ran out quickly. Snagged a few pictures before we stopped for lunch.
