Happy happy pub day to Mara Williams and THE TRUTH IS IN THE DETOURS!

A very happy publication day to @gtkarber.bsky.social and MURDLE THE CASE OF THE SEVEN SKULLS!

A very happy publication day to @diannefreeman.bsky.social and A DAUGHTER’S GUIDE TO MOTHERS AND MURDER! (This series has the best covers… not to mention what’s inside!)

It’s a very spicy Tuesday for Josie Juniper and COMING IN HOT! Happy Pub Day!

I love Tuesdays. Two steamy summer romances out today! Happy Pub Day Holly and Meredith!

This is going to be so freaking cool. I am over the moon for @yasminangoe.bsky.social!

Happy happy pub day to Ashley Winstead for THIS BOOK WILL BURY ME and Holly James for THE BIG FIX. Two incredible books by two incredible authors. I could not be prouder.

It’s a 5 day beach vacation so I have two new hardcovers, an ebook, and two audiobooks. But is it enough?

So excited to see this GORGEOUS cover reveal and excerpt for @markwaddell.bsky.social and COLIN GETS PROMOTED AND DOOMS THE WORLD reactormag.com/cover-reveal...

Happy Pub Day to two of my authors today! @beabirdsong.bsky.social and @lindsayhameroff.bsky.social, both deliver the laughs for very different audiences.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

#MSWL ultimately I don’t even know what I don’t know I want. If you wrote brilliant commercial fiction, I want to see it.

like, people say "MSWL" like they say "google it" now; it's a term and function so ubiquitous that I think people forget that it hasn't always existed, that people actually had the idea and created it. the @manuscriptacademy.bsky.social team deserves way more credit than they get on that.

If you find me through #MSWL Day and you’d like to submit: please query me at submissions at Stonesong dot com and include my name in the letter. I’d love to hear from you!

#MSWL: I might as well speak it into the universe— more puzzle books! Puzzle books with a unique spin, whether that’s plot or a new puzzle style or a voice all their own.

More #MSWL: dark romance of all sorts. I love how dark romance is pushing boundaries. Would be happy to see it expand even further.

Happy #MSWL day! I’d love to see more thrillers in my inbox. All sorts: procedurals, psychological suspense, domestic, espionage, assassin. All commercial thriller, all day.

I’m thrilled to share this deal! ME TOO!, written by me and illustrated by John Ledda, will be out in the world in 2027! So many thanks to @nancyrosep.bsky.social, @caitlintutterow.bsky.social, and my agent, @melissaedwards.bsky.social!

You can now pre-order a brand new puzzle book from me at Bordergrams.com. Divide the words and conquer the world!

Some news as they say

A completely meaningless landmark but one I did not see in my future when I started in publishing as an assistant 12 years ago

It’s pub day!!! Happy birthday to Julian and Dulce and their delicious summer adventure! Viva Fidelia! @scholastic #tacotuesdays #mónicamancillas #middlegradebooks #romcombooks #dualpov #kidlit #latinxbooks #scholastic

Happiest publication day to @monicamancillas.bsky.social and TACO TUESDAYS!

Hard to believe that a year and a half after it's release, Murdle is the #8 book in the US. I hope everyone who bought a copy for Christmas has a wonderful time solving the murders with their loved ones!

Nothing makes me request a query faster than a solid premise and a bad title I know I could help improve

I am deeply honored that Not What She Seems, was selected as one of Brittle Paper’s 100 Notable African Books of 2024! This 🇬🇭 girl doesn’t know what say except, Thank you @brittlepaper.bsky.social 🥰 Link to see the entire list (and to get reading): brittlepaper.com/100-notable-...

I want for books what Taylor Sheridan is doing for TV: propulsive, soapy, high drama, gripping, wrong in a good way, can’t look away. #mswl

Happy happy publication day to @gtkarber.bsky.social and MURDLE JR—the first in the Murdle series for kids! Perfect for long journeys (like the train I am on right now) and an ideal gift for the holiday travel!

Scam/phishing alert: if you received an email apparently from Laura Bradford of @bradfordagents.bsky.social with the subject line "Review Invitation/Bid Proposal", don't click on the link inside and delete immediately. Laura has confirmed that her account was hacked and the message is NOT from her

The Brooklyn Public Library has increased their digital holds back up to 10 as of today! Nature is healing!

I did miss having somewhere to do #MSWL so I am happy this is an option #MSWL for thriller procedurals. They're what I want to read right now.

So excited to share that DARK ENTERPRISES is coming in 2025!

Happy pub day to Clare Gilmore and LOVE INTEREST! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/love-inter...

This is a room with a view

A very happy pub day to Ashley Winstead and MIDNIGHT IS THE DARKEST HOUR… and I’m going to leave this little bit of news right here www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Very excited to announce this! Three more Murdle books are coming after the first three, and the next series starts with MURDLE AND THE CASE OF THE SEVEN SKULLS next fall!

Very excited that Murdle: Volume 1 has regained the #1 spot in paperback nonfiction in the UK. Thank you to everyone who picked up a copy! 💙📚

There should be John Wick novelizations. That is all.

Happy Murdle volume 2 day! Perfect for spooky season! bookshop.org/p/books/murd...

A very happy pub day to @sierragodfrey.bsky.social and THE SECOND CHANCE HOTEL, a place I’d very much like to be today! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Name something funnier than this. I’ll wait.

Would he have secret service in prison?
