Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
Dylan Thomas, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

George Eliot

“It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.”
William Ernest Henley, Echoes of Life and Death

Nenia Campbell Did you publish a new book?? If so, congratulations!


Jennifer Derrolyn! It's been forever -- again -- why does that happen so often? Wanted to say your books are on my TBR lineup for finishing out this year! Can't wait to finish the Athena Effect Series & read Last Call :D Hope you've been busy crafting new epic plots with daring heroines, when you haven't been busy with painting beautiful things.


Tadiana ✩Night Owl☽ Hi Derrolyn! I haven't seen you on Goodreads lately. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you, and hoping all is going well with you.

Cheers!
Tadiana

Figgy Merry Christmas, Derrolyn! I hope you're having a great one!




Willow Oh darn, you took down your koi painting. I was going to add it to my Pinterest. I've always thought it was lovely. Did you sell it?

SG Barron Hope you had a wonderful Easter and have a Happy Spring!

Ashley Marie hi there Derrolyn! I see your updates all the time via friends, so I thought we ought to just make it GR official ;)

Tam (is a cryptid) YES! I'm trying so hard to pretend that I'm not okay with John Barrowman in Uggs. 'Cause I might be.

Tam (is a cryptid) Because we can, Derrolyn.... because we can.



Nemo (The ☾Moonlight☾ Library) You wrote your first book at age 49? I swear to god Derrolyn you look about 30 in your profile pic (more like late 20s). What the hell is your secret to eternal youth? Do you sacrifice virgins? I seriously thought you were about in your mid-30s or something (only because I know you have teen kids). Seriously, are you some kind of immortal?

Krystal Thanks for accepting my friend request.

Oh that sounds really cool. They must be quite happy in their home if they are thriving like that. A twenty inch fish is a seriously big fish. lol

You have some beautiful paintings. :D


Derrolyn Anderson Willow wrote: "I love the exquisite fish painting in your profile. Were you inspired by Three Worlds? I used to have a poster of that in my bedroom."

Just saw your comment! I'm not getting notifications for some reason :(

No, I had to look that up to see it was an Escher - I was actually inspired by the four monster koi that are rapidly outgrowing my patio pond. We're going to add a connected horse trough with some water lilies as a bio-filter ASAP, because they eat all the plants we put in there! (They're seriously huge, and have grown from 2" to about 20", and share the pond with a ton of former carnival goldfish, LOL).


Willow I love the exquisite fish painting in your profile. Were you inspired by Three Worlds? I used to have a poster of that in my bedroom.


Jennifer Hey! It's been forever but I just wanted to see how you've been! Really excited to hear more about your 80's themed novel :D Have you been watching John Hughes on repeat?


Willow I just had to tell you, you're paintings are lovely, Derrolyn. You give your still-life’s so much vibrancy, color and movement. It reminds me a little bit of Janet Fish, although your style is all your own. :D

Inge Hi Derrolyn, thank you for the friend request. I'm sorry this troll has been bothering you as well. Really hope he disappears soon!

Brenda Hey do you know if there's spam profiles going around or something? I got an email notification that some random girl sent me an inappropriate message but when I clicked on it, it took me to Goodreads and said "profile not found"

Khanh, first of her name, mother of bunnies You know, with a name like Khanh, I thought I've heard them all. Genghis Khan. The Great Khanh. The Wrath of Khanh.

And then you came alone with...that thing.

Thank you! I've written, but we'll see if I get a response. I figure if I squawk publicly, hopefully they'll be shamed into stopping the blatant piracy :)

There's nothing wrong with a bit of a retro feel sometimes! Great work and I can't wait for the next two. :)

Thanks so much Brenda! I do my own covers, and when my daughters informed me that my first attempts were "hopelessly eighties" I knew I had to change something. LOL :)
