I don't talk about my husband on socials a lot but he's a software engineer and we've been married for a long time. We're very different and don't think the same way about a lot of things. Somehow, we still work because we want it to. We talked about AI this morning and now I feel sad and hopeless.

#DVParty Day 5 Yay! So excited to tease my #WIP 𝑮𝑳𝑨𝑺𝑺 𝑶𝑵𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝒙 𝑴𝑰𝑺𝑺 𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑮𝑬𝑵𝑰𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑻𝒀 Mistaken for someone else, a reporter plays along. But she's not the only one pretending. To uncover what's going on she must know who to trust, try not to get killed & definitely NOT fall for the man she's fake-dating.
TROPES & THEMES: Mistaken ID; Deception; Fake Dating; Character-driven Banter; Forced Proximity; Slow-Burn Romance; Deadly Ambition; Murder

VIBES - Moodboard with - several images of Mont St Michel and its Abbey, a woman writing at a table  a couple in evening wear on a staircase, holding hands, the woman looking over her shoulder. Further photos are - a catwalk model, a woman coming down a staircase, a couple kissing, and a frightened woman with her hands over her mouth.

Final day of last week's IG Author Visibility Quest! I made new friends, had great conversations, laughed lots, & grew my tbr pile! 📚 If you like destination💀mysteries with #romance #bookclub appeal, follow me as I run the full gamut of emotions🎭 in this #writing journey we're all on! 😂 #amquerying
If you love...[list of tropes]

Then follow me and join my author journey and updates on my WIPMoodboard of CARELESS WHISPERS

Pitch -

𝑑𝑢 𝑀𝑎𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑟'𝑠 𝑅𝐸𝐵𝐸𝐶𝐶𝐴 x 𝑁𝑒𝑡𝑓𝑙𝑖𝑥'𝑠 𝑇𝐻𝐸 𝑃𝐸𝑅𝐹𝐸𝐶𝑇 𝐶𝑂𝑈𝑃𝐿𝐸

When everyone she loves has motive for a murder, a PR exec who's always tried to do the 'right thing' must decide how far to go to protect them. Esp. the man she's in love with. The dead woman's husband.

WIP Pitch -

𝑮𝑳𝑨𝑺𝑺 𝑶𝑵𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝒙 𝑴𝑰𝑺𝑺 𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑮𝑬𝑵𝑰𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑻𝒀

Mistaken for her fashion model friend, a reporter plays along. But the story - a killer hiding their past - is perilous enough without her falling for the infuriating man she's fake-dating. He has reason to hate reporters. Especially her.

Day 4 of IG's Author Visibility Quest & here's a moral dilemma for you. How far would you go to protect someone you love? That's what my FMC has to decide in CARELESS WHISPERS, my Rebecca x The Perfect Couple bookclub mystery. Would you still root for a character who crossed 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 line? #amquerying
Image of couple passionately embracing

How far would YOU go to protect someone you love?

Snippet: 

His mouth twitches to curl in a sneer. Then his expression alters, turns musing, and he sits back, tilting his head. 'You’ve acquired that look they all have. The cold look of hate.'

She hardly recognises her voice. 'They're my family. I love them. I'd do anything for them.'

'Anything?' The spread of a taunting smile. '******** would like to see me dead. Would you do that for ***?'

There's a curious rushing in her head.

Day 2 (of the Author Visibility Quest on 📷 last week) I'm posting a scene that emotionally destroyed me. There are several in my #bookclub mystery CARELESS WHISPERS that hit particularly hard but they have spoilers so here is one that isn't as spoilery. #amquerying #writingcommunity
Lightning crackles outside, slashing across the dark, open-plan lounge. In the flash, she catches her reflection in the mirror on the wall and scarcely recognises herself. Is this what she's become? The fears she harbours, the secrets she carries, are written on her face, suddenly there for anyone to see if they care to. If they care enough.

[REDACTED]

She follows the trail of discarded clothes. A sense of unreality cloaks her emotions.

Finally, after years of cowardly blindness and denial and self-delusion, she's going to confront ********, see her unapologetically perfidious husband in his natural habitat – in bed with a woman not his wife.
