Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

I believe in promoting authors and books because this business is so hard! When my writer and friend, @ToriEldridge asked me to help her with publicity, it was a no brainer. I'm glad she reached out! So please help me wish Tori a Happy Book Birthday! Oh, and buy the book! BTW, I love book birthdays!

Y'all, I know Amazon rankings are volatile as hell, so I took a screen shot of this puppy. This has never happened to me. I'm screaming.

It's pub day! A Killing Breath is out in the world!

Y'all! For the first time (that counts) I made the local paper. Thank you Amy Elizabeth Smith for being my partner in crime. I had so much fun channelling my villain I had to go home and take a bath! www.recordnet.com/picture-gall...

Just finished the final draft of the 4th book in my Killing series. Now all I have to do is a final read, remove all unnecessary words plus the boring parts & send to my editor. That book about killed me, y'all. Lord, I'm going to buy an insanely expensive outfit to celebrate. Don't judge me.

I wrote about the pleasures of book clubs, particularly when invited to join book clubs reading my work. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

No lies told.

I asked my 6 grandkids to help with unboxing A Killing Breath. They understood the assignment. Love having the privilege off being their Ma’dear.

Day 3: #NationalPoetryMonth I'm so busy on deadline that I forgot to post day 3! But I will not be defeated. Here is Anne Sexton using plain language and unexpected imagery to tell us about death. Day 4 on the way. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/42564/...

I hate when people tell me what to do and how to act. And so does Beau. Be more like Beau.

Hey, here’s a story I wrote. It’s an oldie, sure, and back when Bishop Rider was still among the living, but seems more apt than ever at this particular point in time. #BookSky shotgunhoney.com/fiction/smal...

Come on down to listen to me interrogating @jordanharper.bsky.social why he's so damn good!

My short story is deliciously vicious, & ready to go for this event! All I have to do is omit unnecessary words, & practice my delivery! Can. Not. Wait. It's really vicious. When my husband read it, he gave me that 'FayeHenry Hank' look & said, 'where is this going to be published? I just giggled.

Thank you, Beau!

Yes, they do! Check out my post on 7 Criminal Minds!

This. It’s a playbook they are following with concentration and intent. I can see their greedy, chubby little fingers on the page going line by line.

A Chicago-sized thanks to everyone who purchased a copy of Harriet's latest case! VERY grateful to Stephany Evans @runnersteph.bsky.social @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social @paulbradleycarr.bsky.social @sarahlacy.com @bestbookstore.bsky.social for believing there is a place for Harriet on bookshelves!

Happy to learn that Publishers Weekly reviewed my upcoming book, A Killing Breath, and had good things to say! www.publishersweekly.com/9781787589728

We have arrived, and the destination is heartbreaking. This government…Lord have mercy. Hell is going to be hot for some but the wait for justice is much too long.

Writers will get this. I had a writing appointment today for 8 hours, and I managed to finish the day with the house still filthy. I am so proud!

So excited for this book to be out in March, 2026. Nervous as well! Please pre-order and make an author's dream come true. And it'll be a good read. I enjoyed writing it.
