Levi, from The Last Firstborn, likes to run on a treadmill. As he says to his brother, "when my body is moving, my mind isn't."

I've got multiple series...so one runs in the forest, one does photography, another cooks, and another reads. Huh, pretty diverse I guess. #SpoonieAuthChat

Jake rides his motorcycle or goes rock climbing.
Trent blows something up or has a bonfire.
Val reads.
Alex? Unwind?

Hm. I know Herb from Iris and the Crew likes to fix stuff that’s not typically within his duties.

I might need to think about adding hobbies for future works because I have a ton of hobbies! #SpoonieAuthChat

#SpoonieAuthChat
Jake tunes & rides motorcycles & does rock/mountain climbing
Val cooks, but for herself. It means a lot of she let's you eat her food
Trent plays with robotics & gadgets, but not computers/ databases/ boring shit
Alex keeps busy

Oh, very cool! And great about the timing! #SpoonieAuthChat

I think that’s great because readers who deal with allergies can relate! #SpoonieAuthChat

Nice! #SpoonieAuthChat

Awesome! #SpoonieAuthChat

I do! There’s a cafeteria scene in Iris and the Crew where food allergies and intolerances are super accommodated! And even in Hot Wings and Sauciness, Colleen can get a gluten-free cake! #SpoonieAuthChat

Yes! My 1st book even starts w/accommodations for food allergies, & a side character (who will become a main in book 3) has an allergy.
