Loved hearing from the talented authors in @chessiecrime.bsky.social who are up for an Agatha Award this year! Best of luck to all the nominees. Can’t believe Malice Domestic is in under two weeks! (h/t to @gvaljan.bsky.social for this cool graphic the chapter posted!)

Awesome @chessiecrime.bsky.social talk today with author and former cop Mark Bergin. “If all we were doing was writing the real world, it's boring. So we write fiction, we create conflict, we create surprise circumstances. And in so doing, we entertain—and we try not to make it too unrealistic."

Ed Aymar gave a great presentation on the history of DC crime fiction last week as part of the DC Reads program. Loved hearing him read a few excerpts from his latest crime fiction novel, "When She Left,” with accompaniment by local jazz musician Sara Jones!

Was it Miss Scarlet 💃 with the knife 🔪 in the conservatory 🍃?! Can’t wait to find out when I dive into this week’s #bookmail (#magazinemail?), a giveaway from Tara Laskowski and Art Taylor, who coauthored a Clue-inspired story in this Black Cat Mystery Magazine!

So many great nuggets of New Year's inspiration and advice from @loriraderday.bsky.social at yesterday's @chessiecrime.bsky.social meeting! A fave: "Try not to be so hard on yourself. Creating a story requires a lot from you, and that's why it's hard." A good reminder for all of us!
