So are all authors getting inundated via email with AI slop written blasts from random accounts trying to "promote" your books?

Come hear the one and only @russellwjohnson.bsky.social speak about his new book, and learn how to stick the landing on your trilogy. This Saturday at Daughters Coffee & Books in Durham!

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. Listen, I’m serious: if you’re angry right now, please read this novel. Many thanks. Go ahead, share what you love! www.amazon.com/dp/0316584797/ bookshop.org/p/books/coyo...

Identity is such a fickle part of being an author. At first, it can take forever to identify as an author — not just a writer or wannabe. But that’s just part of the journey.

nice novel you’ve got there. would be a shame if you finish writing it & have to reread & revise the whole thing

Really enjoyed my day yesterday at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The entire event was organized by students, and they did an amazing job. Plus I got to speak to a great room full of enthusiastic young people who reminded me that hope is never misguided.

You’ve been murdered, who do you want on the case?

Writing with a newborn is a special kind of chaos

Congrats @audreyleeauthor.bsky.social !

I go back to this Murder in the First interview by @cstegman.bsky.social and featuring #ScottBlackburn whenever I need to refill the well. So grateful to have people like this in the industry -- AND in North Carolina! mysterytribune.com/murder-in-th...

Launching ARC team sign-ups for WHAT HE LEFT BEHIND -- I'd be thrilled for any #booksky support and reviews! Link here: docs.google.com/forms/d/11BK...

Every writer has that one story on the shelf they still think they’ll someday get to work

Southern noir at its finest. Come for the characters, stay for the gripping story. Perfect for fans of David Joy & Wiley Cash, but great for anyone, honestly. Highly recommend!

Lately been devouring The Treasure Hunters Club by @tomryanauthor.bsky.social -- a well written, fast-paced story with hints of The Goonies and Richard Osman novels and Oak Island fun.

you know what peaked in 2000? new years glasses. it's been an train wreck ever since

BEST READS OF 2024! I was so lucky to get to read SO many incredible books this year, so this list felt borderline impossible. Shout out to @lizmoorebooks.bsky.social @tonywirt.com @lauramchugh.bsky.social @alexkenna.bsky.social @wandamowrites.bsky.social + others!

Lovely little early review of What He Left Behind from Readers Favorite #bookreview

This Tuesday feels like a Monday

Saturday is Homeless Persons Memorial Day nationally & in so many communities. It's a very special and deeply upsetting day, but there's always so many beautiful stories told about those we've lost.

BURN THIS NIGHT by @alexkenna.bsky.social takes the cake this month. This expertly crafted mystery grabs you by the collar and pulls you through a fiery, breakneck tale of small-town trouble and old sins. Loved every bit of this one as a reader and author alike!

Thankful for messy (but complete) first drafts.
