@JR_Lynmead Yes that the main fact about books

@SpotlightT87239 All good books stay with you long after you close the book.

Some stories don’t end when you finish the book. They stay with you longer than expected. #BookLovers #Authors #WritingCommunity #Storytelling #BookTwitter

@KhristinaChess Nice book cover📚

A haunting historical mystery set during the surge of the nation’s most notorious serial killers, when a teenage girl disappears and one friend refuses to stop searching. amazon.com/dp/B0G93TXB6V?… #amreading #5amwritersclub #KindleUnlimited #WritingCommunity #BookTwitter

@AngieStreet0615 That makes a lot of sense some things only really “click” once you’re inside the scene and the character’s perspective. I like the idea of even the dog’s actions planting clues too, that’s a clever way to keep things natural while still hiding depth in plain sight 😄

Well I plan what clues I will have, but as I am writing I figure out how to reveal them within the text. It is hard to plan exactly how I will hide them until I am writing the scene. But when I am in my character's head, it becomes apparent, when to mention them. Or sometimes it is the dog's actions that plants a clue.

So, today was a fun day! If you happen to live in or near Webb City, MO, my debut cozy mystery novel is coming to the shelves of the Somewhere In Time Bookshop!! I just took some there today 😃 Super exciting!

@AngieStreet0615 That’s the best kind of mystery writing 😄 the kind where everything feels obvious only after the reveal. Do you plan those hidden clues from the start, or do they sometimes come to you while you’re writing?

@SpotlightT87239 Figuring out how to hide clues in plain sight! So when things wrap up the reader is surprised until they go back and realize the clues they missed.

@LawrenceJ55870 Honestly, I enjoy both. Digital is convenient, especially when I’m reviewing or working with multiple books, but paperbacks have a special feel that never gets old 😄

@SpotlightT87239 Are you a digital reader or a paperback reader?

I wanted to share my debut novel, the first of a trilogy, The Legend of the Aetherion. For those interested, I have coupons for a free copy on Apple Books. DM if interested, and I'll send you the code. You can check out the first 6 chapters here on Amazon. amazon.com/dp/B0GNHQSQ2Q

@AngieStreet0615 That’s really interesting, and I can definitely see the Sherlock Holmes influence 😄 I love the idea of mixing twisty mysteries into a cozy setting. What’s your favourite part of writing the mystery itself?

I knew I wanted to write cozy mysteries, it is my favorite genre but in general I love a good mystery - huge Sherlock Holmes fan! I like twisty mysteries, so I just worked one of those into a cozy! I just start with a murder and the location it will be in and then work the rest out.

@LawrenceJ55870 That kind of instinctive sacrifice makes him compelling. He doesn’t stop to calculate the odds or even think about whether the power will come through he just acts. That says a lot about who he is at his core.

@SpotlightT87239 He puts his life on the line not knowing if the power will be there. He just reacts instinctively.
