Franky.

I actually didn't take this photo on purpose. Turned out nice anyway.

The books I've created. Yes, I am aware that Eden Symbiotic is misspelled, I did fix it later.

Been taking photos of this hawk off and on for years. Only managed a fairly decent shot once. The rest of my photos of him/her pretty much look like this.

My book does come in Kindle ebook format.

Amazon.com: Unexpected Cargo eBook : Smith, Meriah, Smith, Meriah: Kindle Store

The cover art is by Alica Louma. Better than what I'd have thought of myself. Would've used it for my paperback version of my book, but Amazon wouldn't let me for some reason.

I will eventually have to hire a book cover art illustrator if all goes well, but this one stays put no matter what for the e-book version. I'm too grateful and appreciative of her work to take it down. Besides, I happen to like it.

I'd love to know what you think of my book if you buy it. I do read my comments on Amazon. There's only two and the first one doesn't count because that's my paternal grandmother and she's likely to be in favor of humoring me. I don't need to be humored, I just want honest reviews from a wide pool of people. Thanks.

More comments on my audiobook...and a completely unrelated rant all jumbled together.

My reviews/feedback are few and far between, but mostly been positive when I do get them. I just wish I didn't have to wait for years to hear from someone else to say something.

No idea when I'll get my work fully edited and published, but I so want to! I want my work to get noticed, to make it on Netflix...to sell a lot of copies! To have people write well earned reviews on Amazon for all to read if they want to.

It doesn't help that I'm going a little stir crazy from boredom. Or that I can't go to Oklahoma and give my uncle Greg a hug because his son literally tried to murder him with both a knife and a thrown ax this week. My uncle never deserved that, he's a good and trustworthy man. I don't know what happened. I can't help my grandma, who highly likely to be a subject of elder abuse by my cousin Lynnette...I got arrested and it wasn't my fault, just a huge misunderstanding. Greg's daughter, Beth...my cousin...was reported to have been trying to trick Greg into doing some theft from Donny's house so he would get arrested. WTF?!!!

Getting a job won't solve all these issues, but having a steady paycheck would help a lot. Certainly any profits I can get...well significant profits, earning only pennies doesn't help much, will definitely help.

I'm half in a bad mood. The rest of me is kind of numb and I don't know what to think about all this awfulness. Helpless comes to mind for sure. With no real resources of my own, it's impossible to get anything done. Mentally banging my head on a hard surface in frustration.

Okay, so this has devolved into a rant. Still, I can appreciate the feedback I do get. Ah, well. Maybe I just need a distraction from what's really bugging me.

Cute dogs. I'm a little grumpy today. But still...cute dogs!

I was bored. So I took a photo of a tiny carpet beetle on the basement windowsill. I think the pattern on his carapace would look great on a knitted or crocheted sweater.

[cherokeegal1975]

I think this would've been a great photo minus the puppy pads. What an eyesore!

Missy on the counter.

[cherokeegal1975]

I have way too many photos of bees. Been mostly refraining from taking more pictures of them this year. This one turned out nice though.

[cherokeegal1975]

A terrible video of a military airplane over my home. I was bored, these things don't fascinate me. It was flying unusually close though.

[cherokeegal1975]

The work of worms...or some kind of bug. I liked the markings, but didn't want to keep the stick, so I took a picture.

[cherokeegal1975]

I didn't tip toe through these. LOL!

[cherokeegal1975]

Katie.

If I had the time and the full image of the cat, I could make a portrait with some fantasy elements in it. I've gotten pretty good at drawing cats.
