I was on a podcast and it was a blast
Give it a listen, you'll enjoy it too.
I chatted with the fabulous duo of Jeannie Warner and Deirdre Schwein from Writers Drinking Coffee about my new story collection, the resilience of hope, and much more. Run time is a little over 40 minutes, so it’s not a huge time sink. Linkie-link for you right here:

I gotta go update my Author Achievement Trophies page now.
And I wouldn’t deprive you of a cat pic just because it’s a short post.
Here’s Pippin enjoying the new window seat in my office. He loves it there almost as much as his countertop basket, but it’s harder to take pics due to the backlighting from the window.
Pippin did not appreciate me using the flash feature on the phone camera. It did give him a cool aura, though.
Okay, that it until later.
What’s on your bookshelf?
This is the part where I talk about my books.

Every library system does things a little differently, but most want their collections to serve their communities, so most of them are very responsive to patron requests.
If you like novels more than short stories, I recommend my series The Rollover Files for hopepunk tales of about an alternate world where moms with midlife crisis superpowers have been saving the world and making the military nervous since 1943.
I also have a completed, quirky slow-burn science fiction thriller duology with a romance chaser: The Stories Of The Restoration.
All my titles are available from Amazon, Apple, Kobo, Hoopla, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, Overdrive and many other fine booksellers.

Be a potato.
" Fear is strange soil. Mainly it grows obedience like corn, which grows in rows and makes weeding easy. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground."
Terry Pratchett (Small Gods)
