Check out Amazon’s Bestseller- Patch Lane! Average rating of 4.5/5 ⭐️ When Ofc. Sarah Hastings discovers a dead body in a secret room, it’s determined the vic died 3-4 days ago... but her fingerprints return to a woman who died 20 yrs ago. amazon.com/dp/1950502155/

I apparently need to make a book trailer. Can you guys drop me your book trailers for inspiration and also for me to add to my TBR list! #AuthorsOfX #booktok

@Creepcastactual hey, take down my Patch Lane series on your podcast. You never asked permission and the audio rights are contractually signed elsewhere. STOP STEALING AUTHOR’S WORK.

@cassidyd200015 According to some 1 star reviews, it’s offensive now 🙃

Do you think something you have written now will be deemed offensive in 20 years? And your novel re-written or banned? #WritingCommunity

What's an expression you love that no one seems to say anymore?

Help! What guy’s name screams “douchebag”? #author #amwriting #writersoftwitter

If you could go back in time what decade would it be and why the 90s?

@nicolebooks_ Have you had your query letter reviewed and edited by peers? I had a lot of Twitter friends help with mine and I got 13 full/partial MS requests for my novel. I’d be happy to take a look at yours if you’d like.

Haven’t written in months… but rather than adding to my 25k word novel, I pour 5,000 words down for an entirely new novel. We won’t talk about the other 10k novel that’s sat unfinished for 3 years either. #amwriting #writerscommunity #author

@ThomasJ10377226 I did not investigate further, but if you ended up being the one who purchased I would love to discuss was I found!

@barkley_f Hey, did u investigate this any further? I’m considering buying this house..

So, there’s this house I always drive past and it always draws me in. I stopped to take a photograph today and posted about how unique this house was and how I just totally see it could be haunted. Just a house, right? #hauntedhouse

@thomas_deshane I don’t have any additional info on the property except I did see it was just listed for sale and pending!

@barkley_f I was wondering, do you have any more information on the property? Back to the 1750’s? Has it been documented that any of the other families saw this spirit? I’m about 45 minutes from there in Delta, PA

@LipsSuttons I wish I had the time and money to put into it!

It’s for sale!! I would love to buy this place!!

@RayneesePrimros I think all houses have residual energies :)

@aroundthebui I did see that! Our local paper did an article about it and even mentioned the history of being haunted

@barkley_f I know it's been a while but the house is under contract for 200k

@TCKPublishing just received an invoice from you for $717 … never purchased anything from you and somehow just randomly kept getting emails from you on some newsletter list… Any other authors get something similar? #writingcommunity

@ljbucci First person past. I’ve tried present and I’ve tried third and it feels so incredibly unnatural I can’t

Do you write in first person or third person narration?

Went to a haunted hotel for a wedding this weekend and somehow left the wedding for an impromptu ghost tour. All of my photos turned out blurry and I have found my new premise for my #WIP. Who wants to read about the police investigation of a historical, haunted lake hotel?

@gaoluinn @kevindwriter Awe yeah I know I’ve been so distracted as a new mom my writing took a bit of a fall, but at least starting to get back into reading!

@barkley_f @kevindwriter S.f!!! haven't heard from you in a good while!!! Was thinking of you the other day!

@gaoluinn Oh good ones !!

@barkley_f The movie "kiss me deadly" circled around one specific poem... maybe mickey spillane's book does too. Oh and agatha christie's "and then there were none" is based on a nursery rhyme. I could name some books that are written entirely or partly in verse but not mysteries.

Book suggestion! I need a book that involves “poetry” (the theme of my book club). However, I mostly read mysteries and fast-paced reads. Any good mysteries that involves poems? #books #WritingCommunity
