I don’t have a social life 😂And I don’t always read that much. Depends on the month. This month I’ve read maybe half that because I’m super focused on writing. I make it a priority in whatever ways I can because it helps me be a better writer

Thanks! It’s a mixed media thriller about a podcaster and a writer with grudges against each other trying to solve the same crime

3. I got such amazing feedback from early readers and my editor @siljaevelyn They all really helped me shape it into the version you’ll read. 4. I love all things autumn, and I loved writing a book mostly set during that time of year.

Julian Kennedy- Thriller Author is querying @jkennedyauthor.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

In the meantime, here are 5 reasons I loved writing this book- 1. It’s a super super loose modern day retelling of Sense & Sensibility, a book (and movie) that I love! 2. I loved writing the sisters. I hold them so close to my heart and miss them already.

If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.
