Eeek my special bookmarks just came in! I’m doing an event at a deaf school soon and I wrote a thriller series about a young deaf boy who knows about the afterlife and people are after him. This bookmark conveys that right? #deaf

For authors getting 1 star reviews, considerate it a badge of honor. Not everybody’s going to love our work. I wrote a short story horror collection. Some like Karen below hated it. Others like Ben loved it. If you’re interested, it’s just $.99 on Amazon. amzn.to/2grmKIe

Have you ever wondered how much work it takes setting up for a book event at a street fair? This is what I did when I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night last night. Lol. Might as well get some social media done for The Long Island Author’s Group, right? #litcommunity

I can’t believe I get to say this. After querying 292 agents for my dark thriller since January 2025, today I signed with @NeighborhoodLiterary with the amazing Donovan Levine. I am agented. Overwhelmed he believed in my book. ♥️♥️♥️

Somebody recently asked me “what my endgame was” with my writing. Is it money? Fame? What I want is a table at thrillercon right next to my favorite authors like Preston/Child, turn to them with a gentle nod, like “hey, how are you doing?” That would be an absolute blast, like I made it. To dream.

I’ve noticed something odd at my book fair events. There’s always someone who picks up one of my books, flips to the back pages, reads the last page or two, smiles at me, puts the book down & walks away. Why? This happens every single book event. Thoughts?

I had ground beef in the fridge, but no mozzarella or ricotta cheese so I’m “lasagna improvising.” Meat sauce made, cashew cream ricotta is pretty decent & made, the Bechemel sauce is thickening though it seems like it’s taking a long time to thicken. Lasagna for dinner!
