I write romance and sci fi. I cook. I'm a software engineer. I'm a mom. Not in that order.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 You missed a day, and two on leap years. We can make them a bonus New Year's Day outside of the regular cycle. But otherwise yes, I've been saying the same thing for years, much to the amusement of my family.

Am I evil for wanting to see a falling iguana while here in Florida in a business trip? It's in the 30s right now.

If my life were an epic fantasy, I would like to think that I play the plucky heroine who conquers evil, saves the world, and finds true love. But I'm afraid I would make a better grouchy hermit who once tried to do great things but now just wants humanity to go away.

Chilling at Trunk or Treat with my @MeCookieMonster slippers and Tickle Me Cookie (the original one..still goggles when I hug him). Yes, I'm a big kid at heart.

@10News Halloween is, by definition, the Eve before All Saints Day (All Hallows). Are they petitioning the Pope?

When life hands you hot air balloons, you stop along the road to smile and graph a photo.

Y'all, working with a committee of engineers to decide on a corporate process book cover design for the day job is painful.

So glad that I get complete artistic control for my novels.

Bet they wouldn't like me adding man-chest . #indieauthor #Engineers #writerproblems

Pretty views don't fix the world. But they do help put things in perspective. From the trek up to Mt Baldy

@helenkaydimon This! I am glad to hear it isn't me. But at the same time, I think we all need a big group hug.

[Kristi Lea @elitsirk]

@JeannieLin Fun! Years ago they landed literally in our back yard in Maryland Heights. I hoped for years that the wind would send them our way a second time. Hot air balloons always seem so magical and happy to me

Me (1 month before school): Supply list is 100% complete!
Teacher (1st day of school): By tomorrow your kid needs a box of Kleenex, a pack of white board markers, the One Ring, and Unobtanium or they fail first quarter

Like humor in your Old West stories? Linda Gilman has a new book out today, Addie's Windfall, about a ghost trying to right wrongs from his life. https://t.co/kN5nrYm68r

@JeannieLin It is heartbreaking when they come home from school, tell you about the active shooter drills they had to practice, and then tell you they're scared.

[Kristi Lea @elitsirk]

Another day, another #SchoolShooting . But this time, my feeds are full of my friends posting that their kids in our home town are okay.

It is never okay that a parent has to tell the world that their kid didn't die in school today.
