Loved having this conversation with my fellow newbies and the OG editors at @RHP_Press earlier this week! Listen in here👇🏾

@charliekkendo @HiddenPeakPress Congrats, Charlie! How exciting!

Whew! Friends, I'm so honored to have this piece in this pub and I'd be thrilled to have you read it. It's a 3,000 word story about... poetry. Thank you so much, @HiddenPeakPress!

That’s one awesome piece, @mike_mchone ! Check out November’s Stone’s Throw piece here ⬇️

Yay, @cstegman on this awesome interview! Such a treat to read about your writing journey and upcoming pieces! 🤩

@RayExperience He’s fine…totally more like “TOLD YA SO!”

Today I picked out a picture day outfit for my 10yo and swore he looked fantastic (he did) but he came home telling me a kid told him he looked like a traffic cone…I feel ya, Lioness!!!!

@kellyekell Literally every old calypso song my mother and grandmother played at family functions. Imagine the look of horror on my face when I realized “Saltfish” wasn’t actually about…uh…a beloved Caribbean culinary treat. 😨😨🫣

@RayExperience @cstegman @reverenderyk You’re going to be fantastic!!!

What an honor to share the stage with this crew. I absolutely loved my first Noir at the Bar at this lovely venue—thank you @AuthorCreekmore for the invite!!! #WilsonNC @LaremaCoffee #ShortFiction

@cstegman @AuthorCreekmore @bullcitybard @RayExperience You did a phenomenal job, Casey! Can’t wait to read this in the @ShotgunHoney anthology!

@RayExperience @cstegman @bullcitybard @AuthorCreekmore I can’t WAIT!

@charliekkendo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Dusted off a story I've been unsure about as part of #Submit30. Gave it a re-read and still love it. Fuck it, I'm sending this out!

My 🇻🇮Virgin Islands🇻🇮 Christmas mystery may feature maubi 🍺 and end on the sweet side, but there’s plenty of spice in this collection to balance out the sugar! Get into the winter spirit early and check this out!!!!

@cstegman Thank you @cstegman 😊🙏🏾

They’re being super modest—trust me, I’m the one thrilled to be sharing the stage with a lineup of talent like this one! 🤩 See you October 5th!

We are now accepting applications for the 2025 Barbara Neely Scholarship: mysterywriters.org/2024-barbara-n… @CrimeWoC

As one of the 2024 recipients, I can attest to how helpful this grant is!!! Also—read Ms. Neely’s books! They’re so much fun!

@KalbMarple Thanks for this! I got a rejection today, so it was certainly timely 🤷🏾‍♀️

A REJECTION REMINDER! In this week's #newpost on my writing blog, a bit of helpful perspective on #rejection. Honest #amquerying and #writerslife advice every weekend on my website! #writingblog #mystery #mysterywriter #protips kathleenmarplekalb.com/f/just-a-no

@faye_snowden Say it again. That man is absolutely dangerous and has no business running for ANYTHING.
