End Ch 1: A lady kneels to work in her flower bed. It’s so normal, and I’m stuck. Between the school and the sidewalk. Between Ohio and California. Between having friends and no one. Between this voice and escape. amazon.com/Whitney-Fred... #romance #readers #banter #KU

Final uploads for 𝑊ℎ𝑖𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑦 & 𝐹𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑑𝑦 𝑎 𝐵𝑜𝑦𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝐷𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑚𝑎 are done. I have struggled with the last words with a feeling something isn't right. Then, about two hours ago, bingo! I'm a happy man. #WritingCommmunity #writers #amrevising #publishing

Today's Chatty Blog continues highlighting the final days before my #book launch. This is for writers who find themselves doing the heavy lifting in #cover creation. The picture is of the back of my 2021 book and my upcoming book. graestonewriter.com/2025/02/20/b... #indie #selfpublishing

I'm a much better writer than I am a book trailer creator, but this one is sorta fun. I wrote and played the #music, "Happy to Be Here with You." The video was assembled using iMovie. #piano #booktrailer #comingofage #wholesome #indie #readers youtu.be/QpfWUnK2ttM

Here’s a 💚🤎 story. I accepted a 2-month job with the US Forest Service (I see you all today) and fell madly in love w/ my forest. That summer absolutely changed my pace of life. I wrote a novel based on my love of the mountains, which you can read. ⬇️ But that’s not where the story ends. 1/2

𝑊ℎ𝑖𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑦 & 𝐹𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑑𝑦 𝑎 𝐵𝑜𝑦𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝐷𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑚𝑎 is coming March 3rd. Set in 1965, several important scenes occur in Freddy's car. As Ally says, "Very art deco." #romance #comingofage #fun #banter #angst #readers #indie #readingcommunity pixels.com/featured/194...

This is one of two chambered tombs dating from 4000-2000 BCE. CairnHoly I is on a gentle slope above Kirkdale Glen in Galloway. Neolithic communities were Britains first settled farmers, and tombs like this were important to them. The second tomb is a short wander up the track. #Archaeology 📸 my own
