I get asked this question more than I ever expected. I'm not all about the selfie. I could care less about taking pictures of myself. Recently I started taking pictures again because my Mom would ask to see my face. I enjoy traveling and seeing nature at it's best (or worst) and so I hadn't really spent any time with family in a while and so I took a few pictures to make my Mom happy. It put a smile on her face and that's what I wanted. The fans were pretty excited when I posted pictures, too. So, I guess I made a lot of people happy doing it.
However, I don't really like taking pictures of myself. I look exactly the same minus a hair length, hair style, a pound in weight increase or a pound in weight decrease.
I guess if you guys ask enough, maybe I'll take some more.
In other news. I do plan on being the cover girl for one of my books I hope to turn into a novel. It's coming up on my book-to-write list. I have a few in line a head of it. I hope you're looking out for it. :)
My character will be Dharma, a ruthless warrior who wants to create freedom and happiness. I'm not sure what I'll be wearing for the possible photo shoot but it shall be fun!

Oh yeah, I changed my name to K.R. Steam! ;)

Why Don't You Always Respond?
Alright. This is a question I get asked a lot. I don't want my fans to take my lack of response the wrong way. I will try to respond but not always right away. Heck, most authors won't respond at all. I try to.
The truth of the matter is I'm an introvert. I have to have a large amount of energy to carry on a conversation. If I don't have it and I'm online, I will not respond. I'll take my Facebook Messenger offline and write. After a heavy amount of writing I will probably respond. I'm refueled by my own thoughts and complete silence. Also, consider the fact that once I get online, not just one or two people pop up. I get about twenty to thirty people to pop up on my instant messenger ready to spark a conversation with me as soon as I appear online. Keep in mind, I have a couple thousand friends on Facebook. I have to pick and choose or decide to say nothing at all because I'm overwhelmed. If the conversation starts off funny, I will more than likely choose that conversation first. If it's a fan raving about a book, that's also more likely to get chosen first. The people who pop up ready to have a deep conversation about something or is dying to know me personally is less likely to get a response. That's an exhausting conversation. That's also why I started a blog. I let my fans get to know me on here.
A lot of people get the wrong idea and just assume I lost interest in the conversation or they think they said something wrong or get the wrong impression about me. I like to sit in silence. If the conversation is really making me run low on energy, I will sit and try to refuel. If I'm in a large group, I will listen and remain quiet. Everyone will have my attention all at once but I will not engage in conversation. That much social interaction is exhausting. That's not a joke. It truly is exhausting!
I prefer appearing offline and having one-on-one conversations.
It's plan and simple. I'm an introvert.
