Here’s a little taste of what I’ve been writing. Tisha, as usual, comes up with deep philosophical thoughts.
Have you read one of my books? Then it would be great for you to leave a review! Meanwhile, if you’d like to learn more about me and my work, check out my website, Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter.

My current Writer Problem. What did I do about it? I got to work on the story I dreamed about, of course!
I don’t often base whole stories on dreams. Once you wake, things that made sense in the dream just seem weird.
In this case, my dream offered an image that solved a plot problem. I needed a specific way my character would move her hands and shift posture while casting spells. That’s what I dreamed about.
Guess I’d better give my brain a kiss!

This snippet is from the most recent book I read, How to Fracture a Fairy Tale, by Jane Yolen.
The passage really speaks to me about the nature of fantasy, and perhaps all story telling. How much is meant to be taken literally? What truths do stories hold, even without an objective basis in fact?

Many people enjoy web content that’s based more on images than words. That’s why my focus today is on this aspect of my social media presence.
I’ve had a presence on Pinterest for some time. All my book covers are there, of course, but you can also find some images I’m using to energize and inspire my writing. Plus, my favorite jokes about video games.
More recently, I’m also active on Instagram. I’ll slowly be adding things like snippets and cover images, but I think it’s better to post consistently over time than to place a huge burst and then go quiet. The snippet today is an example of what I’m posting there. As mentioned, I also plan to put up progress photos of my self-shuffling project.
Anyway, if you’re active on Pinterest or Instagram, I’d love for you to check it out and follow me there. It will also give me a chance to follow you back and see your stuff. Even better!
