Last week, my client and friend Jill Viles died after complications with pneumonia. Jill was a beautiful soul, a wonderful advocate, a true scientist. Curious and compassionate, she touched so many lives. She will be missed, and dearly remembered.

I worked on a new garden bed all weekend. In the meantime, this little beauty popped up on its own across the yard. Last year’s work coming to fruition.

Thanks for indulging me yesterday with my Ms wishlist. Here’s a pic from a trail in Appalachia, let’s see where this updated submissions path takes us!

A trail with a wooden footbridge leading into the trees. A park in Eastern Kentucky.

This. When I say "super visual settings" and "tumultuous time period" and "retellings" all of these help make something more high concept, i.e. very easily visualized and understood

In Mystery/Suspense, I'm here for whodunits that are semi-cozy, like books by Richard Osman or Nita Prose. Also note the settings (retirement community, hotel), love the idea of a mystery in a monastery or botanical garden, where place is super visual. I <3 unexpected, underestimated sleuths. #MSWL

#MSWL in #Horror: -Atmospheric Horror, and extreme settings, like a blistering cold winter or a dry desert -Old stories coming back to haunt the MC -Character led journeys to find the truth or right a wrong -Supernatural elements - Dark naturalism, earthy, creepy woods

Alice Speilburg @alicespeilburg.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

Fantasy/Speculative: I'm looking for magic & magical beings alongside mortals in charming places or unforgettable time periods, like Katherine Arden’s The Winter of the Witch, or VE Schwab’s The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (doesn't have to be witches—fae, djinn, gods are all good options) #MSWL

Alice Speilburg @alicespeilburg.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

In Historical Fiction, I'd love to see a pair or group of unlikely female companions, like Kate Quinn’s The Briar Club or Maurice Carlos Ruffin’s The American Daughters, preferably in a plot of intrigue, secrets, and spies. #MSWL

Mushrooms are good for stress. Look at these and just try to tell me you don't feel a little bit calmer.
