A perfect autumnal read, spooky and atmospheric for this time of year, @michaelwehunt.bsky.social's "The October Film Haunt" crosses boundaries between consciousness and fantasy. It terrifies and surprises, keeping you glued to the pages. #writingommunity #writerslift #horror #booksky #bluesky

When you think of female P.I.s, authors like Sue Grafton and Sara Paretsky come to mind. Actually, it was Marcia Muller who pioneered the hardboiled female P.I. novel in Sharon McCone's 1977 "Edwin of the Iron Shoes."

Sadly, Muller and McCone say adios 48 years later. #bluesky #booksky

Thanks to @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social for an ARC of Clara McKenna's 7th Stella and Lyndy Mystery, "Murder at Cottonwood Creek." I can't wait to dig in and review. #writingcommunity #readerscommunity #bluesky #booksky #bookboost

The crosswalk was not just an ordinary crosswalk. It was to honor those who lost their lives to a reprehensible mass shooting hate crime. People are angry about us taking back our voice and repairing a significant part of history and human dignity. We will not be silenced.

Protesters repaint crosswalk near Pulse while FDOT paints over more roadways

State and city officials are disputing which roadways violate FDOT rules.

I miss Mary Daheim's zany, creative mysteries. "Just Desserts," the first in the B & B whodunits, is one of my favorite books in the series. Cousins Judith and Renie host a wild night with fortune teller Madame Gushenka. A cozy, entertaining read. #writerscommunity #bluesky #Booksky #readmorebooks

A peculiar premise: a community garden mystery. I have listened to an interview with Deborah Benoit discussing her favorite pastimes, i.e., quilting and painting that might also make good plots for future books. I am looking forward to reading her debut, "The Gardener's Plot." #bluesky #booksky

Donna Andrews's "Birder, She Wrote" is dedicated to Angela Lansbury. I adore this charming, entertaining series, but this is a special entry in the Meg Langslow mystery series. #writingcommunity #writerslift #writers #bluesky #booksky #bookboost

"Write what you know" does not always apply. I push back when somebody tells me that I can't write something I don't know about. Men can write women; women can write men.

Publishing trends change, but I work hard, take it seriously, and create a believable reading experience. #bluesky #writerslift

#AlienEarth is a breath of fresh air for this ongoing franchise. I have enjoyed each movie entry. I find the Xenomorph a fascinating, indelible creature. The first two episodes are jaw-dropping, gross, and impressively executed. So far: a scary tour de force. #movies #horror #scifi

I miss THE GOLDEN GIRLS. The series was feel-good comfort food for the soul. Nothing compares to the well written weekly production. They do not make TV like they used to. More laughs, please. #TV #goldengirls #bluesky
