Oops, I did it again. I played with my heart (~158 bpm). I ran a marathon yesterday. Why do I run marathons? "Shawndra and the Marathons" topaine.com/shawndra/ #running #runningcommunity #MarathonRunning #marathonrunner #authorlife #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

It was a wonderful end to #ThrillerFest XX for me when James Patterson joined our International Thriller Writers Organization #BizFest2025 group for a photo. Authors: I highly recommend signing up for BizFest in 2026!!! thrillerwriters.org/programs/bizfe… #ThrillerFest2025 #BizFest

Authors, agents, editors, marketers, and others stretch back as far as the eye can see. This is the most supportive group of people I've ever been a part of, from the first time writer to the bestselling author, the rising tide raises all boats. #thrillerfest2025 #thrillerwriters

I'm leaving Manhattan, NY today without having seen The Outsiders the Musical. As a kid, I read a lot of S.E. Hinton books - "That Was Then, This Is Now" "Rumblefish" "Tex" ... But, I'll be back for ThrillerFest. Anyone else an Outsiders fan? #OutsidersMusical #ThrillerFest

My brother gave me an incredible mug. It keeps coffee warm for two days . . . Saturday, I drove 8 hours to Montana, ran a marathon Sunday, then I drove home right afterward. I couldn't have done it without the mug of coffee My brother is the best. #running #writingcommunity

Typing, "The End" on another book . . . and now the real work begins. Editing. But first, it's time for a chocolate muffin. Life is good. #author #writer #publishing #authorlife #writers #amwriting #amreading #writingcommunity #readingcommunity #ebooks #reading #thrillerbooks

My medal from the Vermont City Marathon today, and more important, my celebration cookie. Say goodbye, Cookie. I'm about to eat you . . .

I use to clean at Motel 6: Lotsa stories: - I turned away prostitutes and their "Johns" - I helped truckers who'd never learned to read check-in - I watched a man who'd escaped from a mental health facility get kicked out of his room at the 30 day stay limit. #WritingCommunity
