Snuggles with Malcolm the cat at the end of a long Tuesday. While spending time with Malcolm Rannoch in galleys

Evening of galleys and dog sitting. Mélanie pointed out the gorgeous moon just as I got to the moonlit chase in #southcottjewels .

Sunday with #southcottjewels galleys and fun #mummydaughter dinner break with writer talk. Hope everyone had a good weekend with some writing time!

Settling back in after traveling. Super busy week but a great night at the opera tonight with Tristan & Isolde. Copy edits tomorrow. How is everyone’s weekend?

@msdyliacco @TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko @osfashland So great!

@tracygrant @TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko @osfashland “She speaks poniards! And every word stabs!” Are some of my favorite lines 😆

Q10. Costume time! Your characters just arrived at a Halloween party. What are they wearing? #ThrillsandChills #suspense #mystery #thriller #horror @KellyMalacko

@msdyliacco @TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko @osfashland Very cool! Makes me excited to read it! We just spent dinner talking about what a great love story Much Ado is.

@tracygrant @TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko @osfashland The misunderstanding/jealousy part of it is

@msdyliacco @TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko Oh love this! My favorite Shakespeare play. We just saw a great production at @osfashland . At the talk just now our actor friend giving it mentioned I'm an author and write romances :-). Is it thematic to your plot?

@tracygrant @TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko lol my romance characters are going to watch Much Ado About Nothing on one of their dates

@KellyMalacko @TobieCarter6190 It was so fun to finally write it! There's a lot in the series I don't have planned but I have certain sign posts it's exciting to get to.

@tracygrant @TobieCarter6190 Such patience!

Q9. Has a certain scene lingered in your mind after reading/watching something spooky? #ThrillsandChills #suspense #mystery #thriller #horror @KellyMalacko

@KellyMalacko @TobieCarter6190 Hopefully pulls the reader into the story!

@tracygrant @TobieCarter6190 Sounds terrible 😉

Q4. Would you start your movie with a bang? A little kid giggling in the distance? How do you get us on the edge of our seat? #ThrillsandChills #suspense #mystery #thriller #horror @KellyMalacko

@TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko M: depends on my mood. T: usually multiple locations, though my the novella I am finishing is mostly set at a country house party. #thrillsandchills

Q8. Do you need a passport to venture into the world inside your book? #ThrillsandChills #suspense #mystery #thriller #horror @KellyMalacko

@TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko Me too! I built to that twist for years and books!

@tracygrant @KellyMalacko Ohhhh, I love returning characters you thought were dead!

@KellyMalacko @TobieCarter6190 Thank you!! We are!!

@tracygrant @TobieCarter6190 Have so much fun!!

Welcome to the monthly #ThrillsandChills chat w/ me & @KellyMalacko! Chat goes for 24hrs & all genres are welcomed! RT & tag your #suspense #mystery #horror & #thriller #writingfriends.

@TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko It's amazing - I finished my novella, started on copy edits, and started my next novel. I also started editing M's novel. M: my editor was quite slow!

@tracygrant @KellyMalacko A writing retreat in Oregon sounds lovely.

@TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko M: Amari's helped make it creepy!

@tracygrant @KellyMalacko Now I'm curious to know what this laugh sounded like.

Q2. A dull thud of boots when you're hiding? The slight creek of the steps? Bats flapping as they skitter away from your hiding spot? #ThrillsandChills #suspense #mystery #thriller #horror @KellyMalacko

@TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko M: I'm not sure. I think a physical threat depending on who is saying it and what the threat is. T: depends on the story, but I think psychological suspense can cut deeper. #thrillsandchills

Q7. This or that? Creepy version. #ThrillsandChills #suspense #mystery #thriller #horror @KellyMalacko

@TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko M: I don't know - my genres are mainly fantasy and romance - and adventure. T: foggy London streets. But in my novella, also a country estate after dark. #thrillsandchills

Q6. With it being spooky season, are your favorite spooky books making their way to the front of your TBR? #ThrillsandChills #suspense #mystery #thriller #horror @KellyMalacko

@TobieCarter6190 @KellyMalacko M: stranded on a haunted island for sure - ghosts are way less scary than clowns. T: Ditto! #thrillsandchills

Q5. The only correct answer for this question is, "I'll take Neither for 1000, Alex." #ThrillsandChills #suspense #mystery #thriller #horror @KellyMalacko
