Shout-out to Alex and the awesome co-hosts for today:


Ronel, Deniz, Pat Garcia, Olga Godim, and Cathrina Constantine!

Dec 4 question -


Do you write cliffhangers at the end of your stories? Are they a turn-off to you as a writer and/or a reader?

There is a major cliffhanger at the end of Fractions of Existence. There's a minor one at the end of Proof of Existence. (Both of which are on sale. Kindle Countdown!)




Native American Heritage Day #Sale!

The Existence series is an Urban Fantasy with Myths and Legends, and Paranormal Romance.

Omnipotent beings are trying to save human existence. Only united are they strong enough. If they don't reunite, the human race is doomed.

So many writer, author, and book lover friends of mine have made the switch, I find that I shall too. (X no longer favors links in "tweets," as it is switching focus to training AI with the shares of users. The platform I once used daily no longer interests me.)

Creative Activities #IWSG


Shout-out to Alex and the awesome co-hosts for today:


Diedre Knight, Lisa Buie Collard , Kim Lajevardi, and JQ Rose!

Nov 6 question -


What creative activity do you engage in when you're not writing?

I haven't made much time for other activities recently. I do have some background in sewing, weaving, and bead art. I make good jerky. I have pretty good skills in trapping and natural weapons. (Instead of Cabela's, I go into the forest with nothing or nearly nothing, and survive with whatever I happen upon. 🏹 It depends on how long I'll be there.) 

Some people have given me flack over my skill of being able to turn, for example, deerskin into pants. Or to adorn something with beads. 
"Isn't that a feminine skill?"
In case you're about to take that stance, let me be clear. I have never whipped out a 🍆 reproductive organ to sew with, nor do I know anyone who has. But if you think a needle 🧵 and thread are held with such a body part, you have very different tastes in erotica and crafts than I do. 

Also, no, I don't sell those crafts. I don't do these activities often, just on occasion. 



"The Harris-Walz campaign released a statement that more than 70 tribal and Native American leaders endorse Harris as president.
Begay said the Native Americans for Harris-Walz program’s goal is to organize and uplift the work of tribal citizens, leaders and organizations that has already been done and provide support to them." - https://ictnews.org/news/how-a-harris-walz-administration-would-impact-native-people-


I am writing this month. Due to policy shifts and last year's debacle, I am not officially participating in NaNoWriMo this year. Best wishes to those who are.
