According to my Fitbit, I got 4 hours of sleep last night. I feel like 💩 this morning. It’s going to be a long day. #writesky #booksky

Iced, Book 3 in my Coyote Canyon Mystery series should be out sometime after the first of the year. I loved writing this book. Before Iced is released, catch up on the world of the Sheriff's Department with Exposure, book 1 and Avalanche, book 2. #Booksky #writesky #murdermystery amzn.to/4cPtSuD

CSI was playing on my tv while I was working on my current murder mystery today. Inspiration? Maybe. I am waiting on DNA evidence to come in on the case. 😄🩸🔬 #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity

I am so excited to share the debut of the book trailer for my thriller, Avalanche, a Coyote Canyon Mystery. the book was released earlier this year.

Avalanche, a Coyote Canyon Mystery
Avalanche, a Coyote Canyon Mystery by Carol Preflatish. After a skier is shot and dies during a planned avalanche mitigation, Sheriff Sam Winslow becomes the prime suspect. The victim is the ex-husband of Sam’s former girlfriend. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation was called in and Sam is arrested. He refuses to give an alibi, and things look bad for the sheriff unless his team of deputies can find the real killer. You can find Avalanche on Amazon, or almost any online major bookstore. https://carolpre.blogspot.com/p/book-links.html Video created by www.OtherWorldsVideo.com

I do my best book plotting right before I fall asleep at night. Normally, I can remember it the next morning. Last night, I came up with the perfect back cover blurb for the book I'm writing. So of course, I can't remember it today. Tonight, I will keep my digital recorder by the bed. 🥱🛌😴 #booksky

Yesterday, instead of my screenplay, I decided to work on my new mystery. I’m on chapter three, but let me tell you, the first two chapters were the most tense chapters I’ve ever written. I even shed a tear or two writing them. #writingcommunity #murdermystery #2028release

While taking a break from doing edits on the 3rd book of my mystery series, I opened the document for the 4th book. I only wanted to read over the few pages I had written. Instead, I did a little editing and before I knew it, I had finished the first chapter. #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity

The worst part about writing a police procedural book is consistency. I finished my second round of self-edits over the weekend and I still have things to fix. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I love this book, but damn. #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity

I had a very exciting night last night. My screenplay, Stalked, was named runner-up in the short screenplay category at the Imaginarium Convention. I know the other nominees and honestly didn’t think I had a chance. I was ready to give up screenwriting, but may stick with for a while now. #scriptsky

I finished the first round of self-edits last week on book 3 of my series. This weekend, I started doing a few things on book 4, which is giving me trouble. It’ll be about a wildfire in Colorado. It feels wrong to write it with the fires burning there now. 😞 #writesky
