Still floating from the magic of #Bouchercon in New Orleans! ✨ So grateful for the readers, authors, and friends who made it unforgettable—and honored beyond words to be introduced by Michael Connelly at the Debut Breakfast. What a dream.

Some people need beta readers. I need Pedro Pascal whispering affirmations while I edit murder scenes 😂

I had the pleasure of answering questions from the wonderful and hilarious Heather Weidner, and the interview is now live on her blog. I hope I didn’t reveal too much about myself.

Speech patterns quickly establish background, personality, and history without exposition. However, as writers, we carry a significant responsibility: to represent diverse voices authentically rather than falling into the trap of stereotype or caricature. Insight from @ellejauffret.bsky.social.

What makes someone 'American'? Is it an accent, a passport, or something deeper? My mystery novel explores this with a sleuth with Foreign Accent Syndrome. Do you have a regional or foreign accent, or maybe a speech disorder? What assumptions have you encountered based on how you sound? #speech
