If you haven’t pre-ordered my debut novel, perhaps #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Charlaine Harris can convince you? #mystery #writingcommunity #amwriting #author

My book baby's first blurb! I'm incredibly grateful to #cozymystery author Alex Erickson for taking the time to read and say kind things about GRACE & JO HAVE NEVER SOLVED A MURDER!

POV: The MC in my #cozymystery updates her LinkedIn profile.

I’ve never made an official statement, so for the record, I’d like to say that my work is AI-free. I don’t use it to brainstorm, build outlines, create social media posts, or change my pacing. I write stories that are imperfectly human, thank you very much. 🕶️ #writesky #writingcommunity

Not pictured: The rejections, the 10+ years of work as a copywriter, the postpartum brain fog that made me think I’d never write anything again, the mixed feelings of not getting a major deal at a big 5, etc.

NEW COVER REVEAL FOR JENNY WILL EAT YOU NOW! I'm sure all website and various locations you can pre-order the book will be updated soon. 🥰❤️ #booksky #debut #romance #normalromance

The blurb era of getting your book published can be a stressful one, but I’m never going to get over the fact that established authors are taking the time to read my book and enjoying it. 🏷️ #publishing #writingcommunity #author #mystery

Good on ABC for pulling #TheBachelorette! TFP needs therapy, not exposure. I hope she gets help for her childrens’ sake.

Graduating high school before ChatGPT is like having a brain made of recovered steel from warships old enough to not have been weakened by atomic bomb isotopes.

First day with a deadline to edit book 2. Kids have a virtual day and my son has that “bicycle built for 2” song stuck in his head. Send sanity.

My husband and I cheered too loud for Michael B. Jordan’s win and woke a child. We loved Sinners and were happy to actually have seen one of the big winners. 😂

I'd like to think my son gets his creativity from me. Don't know where the knee breaking came from, though.

As someone with ADHD, I'm embarrassed to admit how much of my day is just spent trying to figure out why I'm in this room or have the fridge open.

My second book focuses on an area and culture that I've never lived in/experienced, and I CANNOT say enough how helpful my beta readers have been in making sure my story is realistic. Research takes you far, but their help is so useful.

My debut novel, but make it #lego. #graceandjo #cozymystery #mystery #author

Braved the cold and introduced myself at a few local independent bookstores today! Pittsburgh is a treasure trove of them.

Listening to my son say the pledge of allegiance while aware that we don't have a country where there is liberty and justice for all is a certain kind of pain. Virtual learning through fascism is difficult.

COVER REVEAL! When wealthy socialite Bea Calloway’s birthday comes to an abrupt end by the arrogant demon, Charysyllon, the duo reluctantly set out on a road trip from Hell to save her soul. 🔥 dual POV 🔥 opposites attract 🔥 slow burn 🔥 forced proximity #indieauthor

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Some truths for the day: Reading is political. Writing is political. Alex Pretti was murdered. www.instagram.com/p/DT8C-KpDWY...

What did I miss? 😆 #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying #graceandjo

It's ok to admit that you've watched a true crime documentary and finished thinking... I bet I could have solved the case. Like the characters in my upcoming novel "Grace and Jo Have Never Solved a Murder," we all have our own special set of skills. What are yours? #mystery #whodunnit #cozymystery

Whodunnit? I had no idea for the first 1/3 of my book! 😂

The fact that there are people out there who think it’s ok for a 5-year-old boy to be detained by ICE makes me sick.
