Heists are so in!* (And so are cozy vibes, magical universities, and first crushes) To see how Dani’s heist turns out: us.macmillan.com/books/978125... *For legal purposes, this is a JOKE 😃

Editing this manuscript has made me crave Korean corn dogs BADLY. Mind you, I’ve never even had them before. But obviously I need to remedy that asap.

Officially out!🥳 Trains are one of my fave transportations so it’s no surprise that I edited a mystery set on a train (several now actually 🤸🏾‍♀️). BUT between the stalker and assassin and “kill code” in this story…very glad none of my train rides were with Hal! 🔗: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

another chair as he sat down beside her. Hal took the opposite seat, blinking his eyes to wake himself up. The dim lighting in the warm bar was making him feel sleepy.
"Did Uncle Nat tell you that I like to solve mysteries as well as draw?" Hal asked Morti.
"Do you know, he didn't." Morti smiled at Uncle Nat. "But I've read about a few of your cases in the newspapers. It seems you two are a lot alike."
"We are." Hal felt a little put out that his uncle hadn't mentioned his detective skills to his friend. "When I arrived, I could see he was worrying about the inexplicable things that've been happening to you. I wondered if I could help."
"I'm not sure if you can." Morti shook her head. "The police haven't been able to make sense of it."
"Let me try."
"All right, then, well, this will sound peculiar," Morti said, folding her hands into her lap, "but my possessions keep dis-appearing."
"Which possessions?"
"Let me start at the beginning. The first odd thing happened nearly two months ago. My apartment in Copenhagen was burgled."
"Oh!" Hal exclaimed. "That's awful."
"It was an unpleasant experience." Mortimer nodded.
"The place was turned upside down: My papers scattered, my drawers pulled out, my clothes on the floor, but the thieves must've been startled because nothing was taken."

and I took the opportunity to be bold and leaned forward to kiss him.
We could have stayed there the entire night, smiling at each other like goons, me committing the landscape of his face to memory, but I was getting sleepy, so I finally extracted myself from the truck to go inside. Xavier walked me all the way to my door and kissed me on the cheek before wishing me a good night.
“So,” he said before turning away. “Was an entire day with me that bad?”
My hand caught on my door handle. “Nah, it was pretty epic.”
And friends, he doubled back and kissed me, right there in the hall.
It was pretty epic.
