D*mn, I missed the memo that female creatives have to be pure-as-the-driven-snow. Guess I'll go download some AI novels and lock myself in a convent.

I still have some extra copies of BURN THIS NIGHT. If you'd like a signed copy with an individualized murder drawing, shoot me a message. Happy to customize to include your boss or your ex.

Thanks Jeff!

Friends, I could frankly really use some book sales. So let's make this weird. If you buy a signed copy from me, I will illustrate it with an original murder. Like this dude who was buried up to his neck, covered in honey, and fed to fire ants. Message me if you want a copy.

Hey querying writers, here's my occasional reminder: I have a bank of donated successful query letters on my website. Check it out if you're looking for inspiration. www.alexkenna.com/blog

The "Murder Is Our Business" panel at last Saturday's @litfestinthedena.bsky.social. @jordanharper.bsky.social, @alexkenna.bsky.social, Gary Phillips, @rachelhowzell.bsky.social, and me. Thanks to the folks at LitFest for putting on a great event!

“I make a point of mentioning my daughter in my rare flirtations with men. If someone’s going to be scared away by the fact that I have a kid, I want to know up front. They basically always are, but I’m used to it.” @alexkenna.bsky.social

This Wednesday, come join me and these talented writers to chat about detective fiction in LA. If you need an added incentive, there's a pirate themed wife swapping bar just a short walk away.

Wonderful conversation with some of the talented Edgar nominees. It made my day to see my books get a shout out from the brilliant Joanna Schaffhausen and Kerri Hakoda. Nothing's better than hearing that writers you respect liked your work. crimereads.com/the-state-of...

This is up my alley. Going to try to make this event. Also - new bookstore in #SierraMadre! Color me intrigued. #FablesandFancies #bookstore #booksky #noir #detectivefiction #lasky
