Shivering with horror watching the AI subtitles of my latest lecture. "Cute meat." Really? #teaching #WritingCommunity

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.

Happy Birthday, Romancing the Stone! There'd be no Cyd Redondo without Joan Wilder. #screwballadventure #travelfictionseries #KathleenTurner #MichaelDouglas

Today would have been my father's 91st birthday. Here he is monitoring me in his audiology clinic, a thing he never did in life. Miss him immeasurably.

2 weeks from today! For anyone in the LA area, I'll be sharing and discussing a series of classic rom/com "cute meets" at the Amelia Earhart Branch of the Noho Library. All the info is here: www.lapl.org/whats-on/eve... #romanticcomedy #screwball #lectureslosangeles #lapl #uclaprofessor #valentine

Happiest of birthdays to Jane Fonda, goddess.

As counterintuitive as it might be, Cyd Redondo's 2nd adventure, the Anthony nominated DROWNED UNDER, is a Christmas book. If you'd like to head on a cruise to #Tasmania for the holidays, the e-book is on sale for $1.99 here: bit.ly/4cJqheJ

If anyone's looking for a last minute download for the uncertainty of Thanksgiving travel, you can find travel agent Cyd Redondo's first screwball adventure here: amzn.to/4aZgwrw

For anyone who's found me randomly, I write the Cyd Redondo screwball travel mysteries about a Brooklyn travel agent who, until the first book, has never been farther than New Jersey. The books take place in Africa, Australia, England, and Bali and all focus on endangered species and wildlife crime.

My Cyd Redondo mysteries are inspired by films like Romancing the Stone and Charade. So this still qualifies as the best present ever. My husband managed to get me the only copy of the mock-up of Joan Wilder's novel, the one actually used in the film. I love him. #crimefiction #romancingthestone

I teach in the Graduate Film School at UCLA, but also teach private Zoom classes. This is my favorite, and is open to #screenwriters #novelists #producers and anyone who wants to improve their pitching and storytelling skills. Info on THE TAKE here: www.wendallthomas.com/private-clas...
