Do you think it might be a scam when you get an email from a marketer claiming she bought your book on Amazon, LOVED it, and wants to introduce it to her network of over 10,000 book clubs? Only problem, the book won't be published for another 3 months! Asking for a friend. 🙂

Panic = waking up at 4am the day the revisions to line edits are due back and realizing there's a timing issue that could ruin a major plot point. Joy = finding the fix by deleting 2 words. Mystery = how did my brain realize that while I was sleeping and wake me up?

I had a chat with @robyngigl.bsky.social about this a while ago, and I've been thinking about it since. The problem to me seems two-fold - firstly that the publishing space for mystery/crime is one of the more conservative, and second that it's very hard for a transfemme to become a midlister.

Robyn Gigl @robyngigl.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

In a world that is going to hell in a handbasket, it seems almost wrong to post about my books. But if you want to read a legal thriller that also tries to educate folks about trans people, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH is available on Kindle for $3.99 until 7/11. It's also available in hardcover and audio.
