And this, kids, is why we’re not going outside right now. #spideysenses

One of my characters needed a familiar…and I decided it would be a rum-ball-addicted squirrel…which led to research on when rum balls were invented…and who on the Lusitania might have had a pet squirrel …which led to me finding this at Goodwill. #rabbithole #amwriting

Not pictured: half-drunk cups of tea, piles of books and papers, snoring dogs, and various whatnots. #endersandangels #amwriting #amediting #writerslife

Part 3: Gloves have been donned, and it’s suddenly a National-Geographic-Meets-Scooby-Doo situation. #whatsontheloose #itsinthebasement #bookmaterial

Part 2: There’s been a bat in the house before (How small is my town? Two police officers showed up. One thwacked it with a broom.). Mice. Birds are vacationing in the windowsill here in my office. Family member: “How would a possum get in the ceiling?” How indeed…

Something is loose in the basement. Heard flapping-scrabbling behind a door, then a tin ceiling tile fell. I skedaddled up the stairs. Bat? Raccoon? Squirrel? Dark-eyed raven coming to claim us all? In case something happens: thank you all, dear friends. #buyindie #goread

“This had happened not at once but at last…The world simply grew weary and exhaled. Eventually, no one thought of dreaming or remembering beyond soap bubbles and candlesticks.” from “Vintage Death” in #endersandangels #strangetimes

“It was true that Betty was half asleep when she opened the bathroom door. That flash of something, that shock of presence, could have been anything, really…” from #endersandangels #shortstories #holidayread #creepykooky

@MJRAdventures @EllicottWells No worries, it's already in my cart. Just waiting to place the order until my cart reaches Amazon's free shipping. 😉

#endersandangels just needs to take a moment, ya know? #TulipTuesday #itstuliptime #stopandsmelltheflowers #readabook #buyindie

#endersandangels in the wild! Today, we’re tiptoeing through the tulips in Holland, MI. #readabook #stopandsmelltheflowers #buyindie

Uh oh. Before I left: in the tree. When I got back: on the ground. Is this the start of a bad sci-fi movie? #beesintrees #driveins #theswarm

Beware the (deeply introverted) writer who’s hiding in the corner. She’s seeing everything…and taking notes. And plotting her escape. #endersandangels #highanxiety #pleasedontinviteme #itsbeen5minutesalready

This morning, my little book and I are in Newark, NJ, en route to Nashville. Had no idea the @audible_com HQ is here (in the city, not in the airport, by the juice place). #endersandangels #skyread

Stuff due, can’t think. Might as well be spooky. #downtherabbithole #shouldbewriting #distracted

In this one, a woman is having increasingly frequent — and alarming — flashbacks about a previous life. It’s not going to end well for anybody. Except maybe the girl with the llama head. #endersandangels #shortstories #dontworryitsfiction

Going a little dark this Tuesday. Another story from #endersandangels, now available from Amazon. #dontworryitsfiction
