Traditional publishing is hard. Just getting published is a privilege. But my biggest reward is meeting readers such as the Boston Filipino American Book Club who really get my writing. Thanks to the BFABC for reading my Domingo the Bounty Hunter series. I appreciate all of you more than I can say💕

A day trip to Davis! Have a wonderful Memorial Day.

This spring, we decided to plant some vegetables with minimal effort. We bought seedlings, a planter, a bag of soil. We planted everything. Before long, we have our first vegetable. I never thought a single zucchini could make me so happy☺️

What kind of writer are you? Do you wait for the muse? Do you just plow through? www.cindyfazzi.com/blog/how-to-...

2 yrs ago, the Boston Filipino American Book Club read MULTO, which was republished by Thomas & Mercer as DANGER NO PROBLEM last yr. It became Book 1 of my Domingo the Bounty Hunter series. The club chose Book 2, SUNDAY OR THE HIGHWAY, as its May pick. Tnx!♥️ www.bataclan.com/BFAB.html

Let's make every day Independent Bookstore Day! So nice to find my Domingo the Bounty Hunter series in my favorite bookstore, Ruby's Books in Folsom♥️ Stop by today! rubysfolsom.com

This year's Sacramento Book Festival is going to be huge, w/ 200+ authors participating in panels & readings. The all-day event will be held on 4/19 at the Scottish Masonic Center. There will be food, swags, prizes, & of course, lots of books! See you there! www.sacramentobookfestival.com

You don't need explosions or violence to make your story exciting. You need micro-tension, according to literary agent & author Donald Maas in his book, Writing the 21st Century Fiction. Check it out, www.cindyfazzi.com/blog/2014/03... #writingtips #writingcommunity

Fair Oaks Library's Mystery Book Club recently read "Now You See Us" by Balli Kaur Jaswal. We loved it! It's a big-hearted book abt Filipino domestic workers in Singapore. It has gravitas. As a Filipino American, I'm doubly impressed that the author is not Filipino. Kudos! #readingcommunity

@editsbykristi.bsky.social I feel so lucky to have you as my developmental editor❤️❤️❤️

Day one of Left Coast Crime conference. This year it's in San Francisco.

Remember Cockygate? A legal battle among romance authors resulted in a definitive court ruling: You can't trademark a book title if it's a common word. Check it out, www.cindyfazzi.com/blog/can-you... #newblogpost #writingcommunity

PICK A COLOR breaks all the rules--no plot, no conflict, no antagonist. But it's so compelling. I'm not a nail salon customer, but the world of nail salons & the women who populate this world hooked me. Kudos Souvankham Thammavongsa! @littlebrown.bsky.social #readingcommunity #readerscommunity

I'm attending Left Coast Crime for the first time. If you're going, check out a panel discussion on thrillers moderated by Tom Farrel & featuring yours truly, Susan Alice Bickford, Maia Chance, and Harry Hunsicker. See you there! leftcoastcrime.org/2026/index.h... #writingconference

Day trip to Mare Island! It's not really an island but a peninsula. Blame history for the misnomer. In 1835, General Mariano Vallejo named the place after his prized white mare that miraculously survived a ferry accident. The name endured. #sanfranciscobayarea #weekend

SAVE THE DATE: If you're in the Sacramento area, plan on attending the Sacramento Book Festival on April 19, Scottish Masonic Center, 6151 H Street, Sacramento. See you there! www.sacramentobookfestival.com #bookfestival #bookevent

Elmore Leonard famously said writers should avoid prologues. Do you agree? Read the article, www.cindyfazzi.com/blog/2014/12... #newblogpost #writingcommunity

Tnx Midwest Book Review! Book 2 of my Domingo the Bounty Hunter series is abt transracial identity. Is it a psychological condition or cultural appropriation? Is it real or a con? If you're curious, give SUNDAY OR THE HIGHWAY a try. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... #bookreview

There are plenty of reasons why you should give books this holiday season. The #1 reason? Books make us live longer, according to research. Check it out, www.cindyfazzi.com/blog/the-giv... #booksky

Last week, I turned in my latest manuscript to my editor at Thomas & Mercer. This is book 1 of a new series featuring Bethany Briggs, a biracial Filipino American FBI intelligence analyst. Word count: 82, 250 words. Genre: procedural/thriller. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Tnx Midwest Book Review for this shout-out. I wrote the first draft of the first version of the manuscript that became DANGER NO PROBLEM in 1995. Thirty years later, the book's subject remains timely. Thanks to everyone who has read, reviewed, & supported this book❤️ #booksky #bookreview

Loved MODERATION by Elaine Castillo! I really like the author's acerbic wit, insights abt Filipino immigrants & Filipino Americans, portrayal of workplace dynamics, & her writing itself. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/696612... @vikingbooks.bsky.social #booksky #filipinoamerican #reading

Traditional publishing is full of ups & downs. When your publisher shutters, it's a straight plunge into despair. I know coz I survived it. Thanks @writersdigest.bsky.social❤️ www.writersdigest.com/3-lessons-i-... #booksky #writingcommunity #writinglife
