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.

Favourite independent bookstore growing up: The squeaky metal revolving book stand at the Bobcaygeon IGA, where I’d find the latest Nero Wolfes and Lew Archers. (The “I” in IGA stands for Independent so I say this counts.)

On today's episode, the all-important "darkest moment". mtphilbin.podbean.com/e/gbtw-esp-t...

Having received an offer in hand for my latest thriller, "With My Little Eye", if there are any agents I've missed with my notifications, feel free to like this and I will forward the manuscript. It is getting harder to stay in touch. #agents #amquerying #writingcommunity
