Good luck!

View looking down on the right side of the historical site of Herculaneum. You can see tiled roofs, columns, and stone tiles.

A view from above of the ship docking area of Herculaneum. The arched areas below are where a lot of people hid waiting for rescue and were overcome by the heat from Mt. Vesuvius's hot mud

Courtyard down by the dock area of Herculaneum. You can see the frontage of a major building and several statues

Overhead view of a tile-roofed gazebo and homes of Herculaneum

Pics of the Day! (Taken Apr 2024) - First look at Herculaneum, also taken out by Mt. Vesuvius but by heated mud, so it was much better preserved. It's Amazing! (And I took a million pics, which will be doled out slowly! Bwahaha!)

Mini Movie Review - Project Hail Mary - great effects, great cinematography, cool alien, cool ships, high stakes, lots of cute/funny moments. There are even nods to other SF films. Totally worth a watch! Hubby's Rating: Worth Full Price to See Again!

#minimoviereviews #ProjectHailMary #SFMovies

Between the insomnia (not last night! YAY!) and trying to research ship figureheads, decomposition, and looking at which museum in San Fran might take it, and be possibly warded against the supernatural has cut my word count a lot this week. DOH!

#authorlife #bookresearch #supernaturalsuspense

A woman in pj's sitting up in bed with brain fog due to insomnia. Wave broan haior and glasses

I think mine and hubby's bouts of insomnia are more weather-related than anything. We had almost a full month of good sleep, but now that the weather is crazy again, it's also back again. Whee!

Pics of the day! (Taken Apr 2024) - Mt. Vesuvius! Per Google - "The mountain is technically composed of two peaks: the main cone of Vesuvius and the remaining caldera rim of an older, collapsed volcano known as Mount Somma."

Mini Movie Review - The King's Warden

A Korean historical piece that's super poignant and heartfelt. Great acting, gorgeous cinematography, funny, and sad. Hankies are a must! You've been warned! I definitely recommend it.

#minimoviereview #TheKingsWarden #moviereviews

Been busting buns to get the edits done to set up the pre-orders and start gathering reviews. Had to find workarounds when my usual software wouldn't do its conversion thing. Then got hit with super bad insomnia last night and just found out a friend has passed. Ugh.

#authorlife

Thanks! I already have the cover and other marketing bits. But I appreciate the offer!

Movie poster for Hoppers. A grissly bear holding an otter dangling from his mouth. Animation

Super cute! They also don't gloss over the fact that animals eat other animals. Tons of crazy surprises and inside jokes. Fantastic animation as always!

4 out of 5! Hubby's rating: Worth Full Price of Admission.
