What if a Y2K locked-door cold case led to 9/11's money trail? (Too close to today's headlines?) One corrupt investment firm whose profits were gleaned from global instability. One traitor in the Pentagon. One secret that would rewrite history. Two competing divorced investigators. #RevPit

Good morning, #RevPit! I'm here and caffeinated. Ask me anything!

"We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together" meets "Bad Blood" A down on his luck PI is forced to join forces with his formidable ex-wife to solve a thirty-year-old cold case that would rewrite history. If they don't kill each other. "Pain and Suffering" #Swiftiepitch #thriller #amquerying

And that’s a wrap on the first 24 hours of the #RevPit submission window. 🕰️ If you submitted, congrats! If you’re going to sub this weekend, good luck wrapping things up! If you’re on the fence about participating, I’m here to encourage you to join the fun. 💜💎

🎉TODAY IS THE DAY!🎉 The #RevPit submission window opens at 12 p.m. ET today. Good luck to all who enter this year! Our editors can't wait to see what you've written! #writersofbluesky #writingcontest #writingcommunity

Question for #literaryagents If you have rejected three manuscripts from an author over the years, are you more or less likely to view their fourth manuscript objectively? How many authors have you signed after rejecting earlier work? Thank you. #amquerying #writingcommunity

I'm querying a thriller based on the premise that since Y2K and 9/11 were only 20 months apart, what if there were a connection? I'm not concerned that the aggression of this weekend will render the novel untouchable to literary agents, but that I now have to move it to non-fiction.

PAIN AND SUFFERING - What begins as a locked-door mystery festers for thirty years until an embattled pair of divorced-detectives' investigations collide to expose corruption, collusion, and a government cover-up that would rewrite history. What if Y2K and 9/11 were connected? #unhingedPit #T #Q

SAID THE SPIDER TO THE FLY - 7 friends reunite twenty-five years after graduation. 6 survive until midnight. 5 watch another die. 4 make a plan. 3 no longer trust each other. 2 talk it out. 1 left to tell the tale. Trust can be fleeting. Nostalgia can be deadly. #unhingedpit #M #W

PAIN AND SUFFERING What if...solving a thirty-year-old child abduction cold case revealed the money trail leading to 9/11? What if...a down-and-out private investigator could prove it? What if...his ex-wife is working for the other side? What if...everyone wants them dead? #unhingedpit #T #Q

Excited to have another #MSWL Day! I'll definitely be participating

Hey y'all! #writingcommunity #amquerying Do not use "services" who claim they can get you a referral with a literary agent. IT'S A SCAM. The latest scam named me as a possibility. That's a lie. I auto-reject those unless I actually KNOW the person giving the referral. Please QUERY ME DIRECTLY.

My editor has weighed in on my latest thriller, "With My Little Eye", due out this spring. What a fabulous way to end an exciting year. Two releases in 2026. "Kill Them All" still selling well on Kindle, Kobo, paperback and the self-narrated audiobook on Audible. #thrillers #authors

Libraries exist for people who can't afford to buy books. They're there for the public good. Support your local library. Borrow books.

Publishing isn’t one door. It’s a hallway full of doors: trad, self, small press, or a mix...You don’t have to walk the same one everyone else does.

Sometimes exciting news comes in the middle of the night. I'll have two releases in 2026. My publisher has accepted the second Robert Hannah thriller "Echoes of Death". The stand-alone "With My Little Eye" in the early spring, with "Echoes of Death" in mid-summer. Big year!

Another decision you must make as a writer is to become trustworthy. Your writing must ask the reader to trust you from word one. In building your career you must present yourself through trustworthy actions as well. Trust is key. Take good actions and hold firm. #writingcommunity #booksky #trust

@margaretatwood.bsky.social I am so sorry to miss your talk in Kingston in a few weeks as Belleville has an author's fair at the same time. Knowing you are an hour away will have to do! You have been such an inspiration and I wish you continued success.

What some writers don't understand is that the editor is their first collaborator. This is the human brain trying to bring the scatter of the writer into focus, to reduce tangents and eliminate all that excess prose. They co-write the writers side of the novel. #writingcommunity #booksky #editors

If you haven't found that summer thriller yet, I can take care of that in 10 hours and 42 minutes. And it may only cost you a credit.

Have an Audible credit burning a hole in your pocket? Use it on a "certified banger!"

If you struggle while querying wondering if it will be worth it, I can tell you that reviews like this hit home.
