Someone should write a murder mystery where the suspects are all people who recently picked up something from the victim on Facebook Marketplace. I’ll take credit as your muse.

I love when we are served a new “Knives Out!” 😍 The original is still the best IMO, but “Wake Up Dead Man” was a fun ride! #mystery

Just sent book two to @jamesfarner.bsky.social! Celebrating for about an hour, then back to dev edits on #GraceandJo! #amwriting #amediting #publishing #writingcommunity

Currently editing two books and a mildly stern letter from Santa.

I've been really anxious about opening an email, but I'm going to do it right now, and I need you to clap with me.

Some light jazz Christmas music while I Google tips for solving murders. #tistheseason

Had to get in on that “it’s very important” social trend. 🥹 Hopefully this give hope to the #amquerying folks. #writingcommunity

Since I started watching Stranger Things, I got married and had two children, the oldest who is 8.5 years old. I have to Google who people are every three seconds. 😂

I accidentally typed “fowl” play instead of “foul” play twice in my new book.

POV: You were nervous as hell to send your second book to its first readers, but now the feedback is coming in. 🥹 #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #mysterywriter #amediting

Consider this my out of office message! We’ll be Disney Crusing until further notice. ❤️✌️

Book ✌️ is officially in the inboxes of my first beta readers, and I have a migraine. #amwriting #writingcommunity #publishing

Stared at my manuscript for 8 hours today and now I forget how to do anything else.

Got my copy of my friend's debut indie novel, "Shadow of Lilith." Stevie put so much work into this book, and the final product is BEAUTIFUL. steviehoslerwrites.myshopify.com

I just finished draft zero of my second book and… holy crap, I wrote two books this year. #writingcommunity #amwriting #publishing

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Me watching election results.

Remember to vote today! Reading is political!

My corgi, on the other hand, hates Halloween. 😂🎃

Happy Halloween from me and my 8yo, who insisted we take the picture like this. 🎃

I've passed 65K words in my second novel, which I'll call OMKI... or TMKI. I'm still working on the title 😉 This is a big milestone for me, because #GraceAndJo was right around 65K when I queried it. I've written more than 141K words this year. #amwriting #publishing

It’s just me and my electric blanket and my coffee and my word count goal vs. the world today.

Holy crap. I’m going to write two books this year. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Some fun with the other 2026 mystery debuts over on IG! www.instagram.com/p/DQWslFTgIW...

Making important notes on my novel this morning. #amwriting #writingcommunity

Do you think when John Mayer sang “Waiting on the World to Change” he imagined how bad it could get?

New office set-up! Traded a small L-shaped desk for a big ass executive one. Now I can stare at my inspiration board while I write and have space to set out notes!

I got cover mock ups this morning for #GraceAndJo and they were even better than I imagined. 🥹 I cannot wait for this book to be out in the world next year so I can share it with you! #author #writingcommunity #publishing

I've discovered my dream narrator for my humour-filled cozy mystery, so if you need me, I'll be manifesting. 💫

I just heard an audiobook say "bougainvillea" for the first time, and MAN am I happy that I didn't ever attempt to say it the way I thought it was pronounced.

My debut novel, “Grace & Jo Have Never Solved a Murder,” in GIFs! What do they mean, and how do they all fit together? Find out fall 2026! #cozymystery #mysterybooks #writingcommunity

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Aiming for another 5k writing day. Currently at 4,072 words! #writingcommunity #amwriting #mystery #domesticthriller

Spent a long weekend at the #CrookedOakLodge in Deep Creek! 😍 Yes, this WOULD be the perfect deck view for a writing retreat, but on this particular trip, we had 12 adults and 18 kids with us. 🤪 Tomorrow… back to work!

New milestone unlocked for book #2. I think most writers will tell you that their first drafts are pretty bad. This is the point where you’re still trying to tell yourself the story, not where you’re working out how to tell it to others. Proud of these words of unknown quality. #writingcommunity

"Show don't tell" is a writing phrase that I've decided doesn't matter until draft two. Draft one, so far, is just 42k words of telliing. 🫣

Wrote over 5k words today and passed the halfway point on book #2! I have a headache, and I’m not sure the story makes sense right now, but I’m team “make it first, make it good later.” #writingcommunity #author #authorofinstagram

My take on TLOASG is that it’s leaps and bounds better than TTPD. Bring back the pop 🙌
