I write books because I like to inform, educate and entertain. Why do you read? #readersky #booksky

I’m a journalist and wig reviewer who also makes wigs so of course that’s the focus of my cozy mystery! #cozymystery #readersky

When is the national book award going to recognize indie authors? #Nationalbookaward.

I love Marlow Murder Club SO much!

Marvin Gaye lamented his time period in the 1970 LP ‘What’s Goin’ On?’ He’d be saddened to find that 55 yrs later nothing has changed.

I use Scrivener for first draft, Word to clean up, Vellum to format, Book brush/Get covers for the covers and Amazon and Ingram to publish. #writerife

The book has been revised! Now comes the hard part: to go through it, and ensure there are no plot holes, to make sure that all the clues make sense, and that all of the events are explained at the end. #booksky

49,000 words in so I should be done shortly; been very productive these last couple of days and I think that my ending is going to be a smash! #writingcommunity #booksky

I think I’m hooked on Marlow Murder Club! It doesn’t distract my writing because it comes on at night. I don’t write at night.😁👏👍🏼 #booksky

41,000 words of my goal to write 62,000 is done on my cozy mystery. This book will be done by Oct 1. I can feel it. After that, betas and editing. Trust the process. #booksky #authorsky

@writingcommunity.bsky.social If you are a good writer, if you know your craft, if you have a story to tell, don’t worry about your story not getting in front of the right people. If it’s good, they’ll find it eventually. #booksky

The goal is to write at least 10,000 words today. I know I can do it. I just need to sit down and focus. Love my characters though; just love them!

30K into my cozy mystery book one; hope to be finished by the end of the month.#cozymystery

I spent too much time playing around and AI today and didn’t get much writing done so I will be working into the wee hours of the morning! #booksky #cozymystery

18k into the revision of book one my Wigmaker Mystery series. Dee and Ruby are crackin’ me up! #booksky

FYI, there’s no apostrophe in Publishers Weekly. Please make a note of it.

Now that I finished my historical novel, it is time for me to get back to my cozy mystery series. It’s already been edited, I just need to kind of re-engineer it a little bit and then we should be off to the races! #booksky #cozymystery

Hey, you guys what do you like about historical fiction? What are your favorite eras? What do you look for in a historical fiction book? I love the research. What about you? #booksky #blackbooksky

See you in Jacksonville! #blackbooksky

#blackbooksky #booksky #historicalfiction #progressiveera

AllThat Is Holy if finally done! Thanks to everyone who beta read, edited and supported this project. #booksky #historicalfiction

All the feedback is in and 8/9 liked the book! Still, it needs some adjustments. Time to revise! #booksky #betareaders

My beta readers have been chosen and they are working on this first draft of mine so I should hear from them in two weeks so we shall see what I need to work on. #booksky

Warning learning to crochet is not something that people with ADD should attempt (trust me). #crochetchallenged #notmyhobby

I don’t care what anybody says crocheting is not enjoyable. It’s frustrating.😩

When you’re not writing, you’d be amazed at how much time you have to read! #booksky

My book is out with Beta readers who specialize in historical fiction and I am a nervous wreck, wondering what they’re going to say and how they’re going to receive my protagonist. It’s exhilarating, humbling and frightening all at the same time..#booksky #writerlife

Mavis and Camille are up to their old tricks in The Hair Dare 2 #booksky #middlegradefiction

Did you know that because President Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear; a toy maker invented the teddy bear? #booksky

@charmstrong.bsky.social would you happen to know any good historical fiction editors? My 1917 novel is finished. Thanks.

My book is done and so am I! Time for some self-care #booksky #historicalfiction #

First draft is complete! Whew! Now on to revisions #booksky #revising

What are you reading and why? #booksky

OK, I’ve got 19,000 words left to finish the first draft of this book. I have been going back and expanding on things but I’m still going to have to do a second revision to really clean it up, but It’s turning out much better than I expected #booksky #writersofblusky

What kind of writer are you? #writersofblusky #booksky

46,000 of 65,000 done. At this rate might be done mid-July. #booksky #writers #authors

42k in on my historical novel. Wont be long now! #booksky #writingsky #writersofblusky

@mizzelle.bsky.social thanks for your comments on the manhattan pages. After I get all of them gonna revamp it.😊
