CIRCLE WITH A DOT

If you've been to Nelson, Nevada, you've seen this piano sitting out in the desert. If not, look up Nelson. It's an old mining ghost town with a gazillion old cars, buses, junk galore, and relics from the silver-mining days in Nevada. Mine shafts, an old chapel. Movies have been filmed there; it's a treasure trove for photographers. Worth the trip, not far from Vegas. If you drive down along the canyon from Nelson, there's a beautiful view of the water and Arizona on the other side. I love the various weird finds in the desert southwest. #piano #desert #west #nevada #roadTripFinds #road #ghosttown #mining #attractions #Nelson #treasures #authorLife #author #indieAuthors #authors #writersCoffeeClub #writers #writer

There's a pop-up window on my website, sophiajanehayden.com, where you can get a link to a PDF of The Story of Rockit by joining my email list. It's a short children's tale. Rockit is an adorable Australian herder pup with big dreams of herding cattle like her famous grandfather, Mick. But when she is adopted into a California home, she's met with two mean cats and a couple of elderly, very slow-moving tortoises, Herman and his wife, Morticia, in the backyard. It seems her dreams of being a herder have been dashed. But are they? Wise old Herman, who has lived for 105 years, tells Rockit never to give up on her dreams. #story #shortStory #storytelling #scribesAndMakers #mastodon #bookstodon #bookTok #wednesday #writingCommunity #writing #writer #writers #kids #childrensbooks #stories #cartoons #cartoon #tales #tale #animal #readingCommunity #readersofmastodon #reading #readers #fun #cute #cuteanimals #cuteanimal #sweet #dog #dogs #tortoise #catNews #cat #authorLife #authors #author #authorsOfMastodon #email #website
