My daughter had an emergency on Friday. She's fine. Now. 🚗 The drive to her is seven hours. It took nine. Then the night before we came home, we added ninety more minutes to go and see my other daughter. Because why not? I love my daughters. #BookSky

Third pass on book four, and this is the one where whole chapters move. 📖 A secret that used to land near the end now lands early, so every scene after it has to be re-checked for who knows what. What is the biggest thing you have moved after you thought you were finished? #AuthorSky

Somebody left a book on the corner table three days ago. ☕ Four different people have read it since. Nobody has claimed it. Nobody has taken it home. It is the shop's book now. Best thing you have found somewhere it did not belong? ~Margie, from 'Ruined By Love' #BookSky #RomanceSky

A shelf of free mystery and suspense with a touch of romance, closing September 15. 🔎 Somebody is lying in every one of them, and there is enough romance in each that you are never left out in the cold. I threw in Tested By Love to keep you warm. 😉 Go be nosy. #booksky #freebooks

First night after dropping our youngest at college. Five minutes in bed, then a beeeepppp. Not the beep beep kind. The other kind. We checked the AC. The attic. My husband cut the power to the whole house. 😩 Still beeping. It was the f***ing toilet. 👿 #authorlife

Man came in off the highway today and asked to speak to the mechanic. I said you are. He said no, the actual one. 🔧 His car is still here. I am in no particular hurry. What is the most confidently wrong thing anyone has ever said to your face? ~Rocky, from 'Ignited By Love' #BookSky #romance

Somebody came to the front desk today to report something that was not a crime. I let them tell me the whole thing anyway. That is most of this job. Oh, the things I hear. When did you listen to someone when you didn't have to? ~Ethel, Feldspar PD front desk #BookSky

Everyone in this town has called her Rocky since she was a kid. I do not. Rocky is the mechanic. Raquel is the woman, and it was the woman who got me. Who is the only person who uses your full name? ~Max, from Ignited By Love #booksky #romancsky

A man held the door from thirty feet away so she had to do the little jog, then apologized for the jog, then apologized for apologizing. ☕ Handsome, too, which made it worse. Sir. You are doing great. Most unnecessary apology you have witnessed? ~Kyra, Caféina Doce regular #BookSky

The hardest part of this job is not the work. It is having a genuinely excellent story about your Tuesday and being legally unable to tell one single person any of it. What is the best thing you cannot talk about at work? ~Lily, from 'Wrecked By Love' #BookSky #RomanceSky

I cannot walk into a room without counting the exits. Restaurants, waiting rooms, my sister's garage. It is not fear. It is just where my eyes go first now, every time. What does your brain do automatically that you cannot switch off? ~Ash, from 'Ignited By Love' #BookSky #RomanceSky

Family train trip. We hit a tunnel and everything went pitch black. My daughter and I leaned in at the same second and whispered 'perfect murder plot.' Then we plotted it the rest of the ride. On paper, obviously. 🚂 Where has your brain gone somewhere morbid in a totally normal moment? #BookSky

⚠️ CW child abduction and violence. 𝐺𝑜𝑛𝑒 by Mo Hayder is a carjacking that becomes every parent's nightmare. Dark, relentless, surgical. Brutal and brilliant, and I would leave a light on. Full review linked. #BookSky #ThrillerBooks
