218 New Books by Black Authors Coming Out Soon. Marketing & PR support from publishers is less than it used to be, and most of these authors won't even get *that* level of support from their publisher. So if you see a book you like, support the author by preordering/purchasing.

📣 Friday news. I’m so excited to see Nena Knight as a graphic novel, coming Fall 2026! Thank you to Mark and Jerry at @madcavestudios.com & my fantastic agent @melissaedwards.bsky.social! Get ready for Nena!!! 🗡️ But go ahead and cop the books first, if you haven’t already!!! 😌

Just saying again that this is how it starts. If they can “Trump up” charges on Garcia, they will do it to the groups of ppl they deem unworthy to here and then lie about it. Sounds very familiar…🤔

Update…I figured out who Carter was. The cop. But his name is Bowen now so…let’s try to remember it this time, Yasmin! 🤣

Every writers festival in the country skews heavily to literary—which is also a genre btw—tho crime often gets a panel or two and that only bc its big names draw crowds. But it’s still set apart & there’s often condescension as in Oh genre is so commercial. At Kamloops in 2018 I overheard an

There's still time to register for Tuesday night's webinar on mystery and crime editing with @yasminangoe.bsky.social! She'll be diving into the mechanics of this genre as well as how to approach sensitive elements with knowledge and respect.

Today is the International Trans Day of Visibility and a great way to be supportive is to make your bids on awesome items and services donated by your favorite crime writers and me at the silent auction of Crime Writers for Trans Rights! Check ‘em out and bid! www.32auctions.com/writers4tran...

#Monday with @navah74.bsky.social >> 7criminalminds.blogspot.com/2025/03/some... @sincnational.bsky.social @crimewoc.bsky.social #shoutouts @yasminangoe.bsky.social @tracyc1.bsky.social @kellyekell.bsky.social @amina.bsky.social @gigipandian.bsky.social #writerslife

Our next webinar is Mystery and Crime Editing on April 8! Join author and editor Yasmin Angoe (@yasminangoe.bsky.social) to learn about clues, pacing, character development, sensitive topics, and more.

FOC ALERT: Please make sure you let your comic shop know you want a copy of ABSOLUTE GREEN LANTERN #1 by @al-ewing.bsky.social and @jahnoyl.bsky.social - it's a wonderful, fun, and completely unexpected twist on the GL mythology and feels so of-the-moment. Your last chance to preorder is TODAY!

All these high level ppl resigning bc they won’t yield access to Musk. WHY? Isn’t it better to stay? Refuse to leave. Ring alarms. Protect democracy and privacy. That’s more impactful, protesting from within where it’s happening. If you leave, your refusal means little & only frees a spot for them.

Weekends are perfect for catching up on words--both reading and writing! Share with us what you're reading this weekend!

Going through my dev edit letter for book 5 revisions and there’s a character my editor asks about that I can’t recall. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Who the hell is Carter, folks?? That’s what I get for changing names midway and then forgetting who’s become who (whom? 🤷🏾‍♀️). Send help. Sigh…

What’s with all the “alpha males” looking to men like Tucker and Rogan for what to believe and for other male approval? Now they all look act and believe the same. Sounds kind of Beta to me actually

💯 truth!

😅😂😢😭 This is soooo true!

😣 I should really work today. But I literally (I mean it!) spent all day yesterday fighting w/ my printer to update its WiFi setting and I think I need to recuperate from the traumatic experience. To write or recover, Bluesky? Only give the correct reply!

If you don't know anyone who is trans, or you're confused by the issues trans people face, or you think of trans folks as the "other" give Remain Silent a try. It's a legal thriller that may help you see a different perspective. As Ted Lasso would say, "Be curious, not judgmental."

‘Sup 👋🏾, BlueSky! I write action/psych suspense thrillers. My 1st (trilogy)- HER NAME IS KNIGHT-an elite Ghanaian assassin for a pwrful. African org. goes on her own mission of revenge. Recently- NOT WHAT SHE SEEMS-a woman returns to her hometown to find a killer among them & no one who believes her.

Low key blurbs and acknowledgments are both harder to write than an entire book. 😭😭😭

When you just turned in some super tough edits that nearly took you out & find a special note from your eldest at your desk later. 😭❤️ Now I’m a blubbering mess… Wait til he gets home from work…

Her Name Is Knight in German is soooo freaking surreal and cool as hell! 🥰😱 Okay, back to these edits of mine.😔

It’s Murder She Wrote o’clock.

Well hello there, Everyone! Glad to be here and get to know ya! Also this is me attempting to make cut off gloves bc my hands freeze when writing at my desk. Don’t tell me I cut off too much…I already know. 😤🤦🏾‍♀️
