You know you're editing when the word baby looks bizarre. Is that how it's really spelled? #AmEditing #WritingCommunity

Want to read a story from my forthcoming collection, This Isn't New? @coloradosun.com has you covered. Check out "Send in the Liar," posted in the Sun's Sun Lit column today. There's also an interview w/ me about the collection. Enjoy! #Books #NewBook #ThisIsn'tNew coloradosun.com/2026/03/15/s...

But as I said, this post isn’t really about coffee. It’s about what I struggle with most when it comes to my writing. And that, friends, is intimacy. #AmWritingRomance #WritingCommunity open.substack.com/pub/mindykin...

Thank you, Lisa!

We're excited to hear from Skye Griffith and discuss her debut novel, Bone Hash! Can you imagine if the great Anne Hillerman applauded your debut for its "original characters, a twisty story filled with tension and jeopardy, and a rousing conclusion"?! #sistersincrime

Join us Monday for our monthly marketing drop-in! Whatever marketing task you're dreading - newsletter, social media post, etc. - it's always more fun in a group! #sistersincrime

The sun is almost going down now (where did the day go??), but check out my chat on this morning's Daily Sun-Up feature with Kevin Simpson of @coloradosun.com, talking about my forthcoming short story collection, This Isn't New: Women's Historical Stories. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka4O...

Edited a chapter so far today. My writing isn't as awful, but there are still areas where I want to tear it all down and start from scratch. Are we ever truly done editing our books? Even after it's published? #AmEditing #WritingCommunity

Researching for my next book, I wonder: Is history rhyming? The New York Times in December 1934 reported on a plot to create civil war, overthrow the government, kidnap the president, and install a dictator. Check it out. www.youtube.com/shorts/hUCzc...

UGH. I am having the worst imposter syndrome while I work on this round of edits. Clearly, I'm not terrible since I got this publishing deal, but when do the terrible feelings go away? #AmEditing #WritingCommunity

I'm thrilled that DYING CRY was listed as a Foreword Reviews INDIES Finalist in Mystery for 2025. Congratulations to all the finalists! Go here to see the list: www.forewordreviews.com/awards/final... #amreading #amwriting #K9 #mystery #dogs @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social @akalit.bsky.social

Despite a migraine that came on from out of nowhere, I managed to edit a chapter today. Progress is progress. #AmEditing #WritingCommunity

How to sell a book? As old-fashioned as it sounds, reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations are key to selling books (in my humble opinion, of course). Check out my latest video, reviews vs. marketing. www.facebook.com/reel/9081003...
