I see it’s been well over a year since my last post. That’s actually a good thing. My writing life has never been busy as it was in 2023. I attended my first BoucherCon. Nothing stirs a writer’s soul like being among their peers and lovers of the craft. It was a crazy week of panels, parties, and networking.
2023 also saw a complete rewrite of my detective thriller, Guns, Grits, and Geckos. Thanks to the wise advice of a wonderful agent, I refocused the narrative and my main character and the story itself is so much better for it. I’ve finished the latest draft and am hoping that it’s ready to pitch. More to come as it happens.
My presence on social media increased also in 2023. I’ve connected with many readers and fellow authors on Tiktok, Twitter (X), and Threads. An author that wants to get ahead in the business can’t afford to stay on the sidelines.
Well, that’s it for now. I have my bookseller day job to get to and pay the bills that allow me to write. More soon.
