DIY marketing because Tarantino was busy and Spielberg didn’t return my calls—part 1 #CosplayedToDeath #mystery #whodunit

I never had a birthday party so I’m having a fancy book launch for the release of my book COSPLAYED TO DEATH.

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 😂

My debut novel has been nominated for an Agatha Award for Best First Novel! ❤️ Thank you to the voters and the committee for this honor and congratulations to all the nominees! (and thank you to @gvaljan.bsky.social , a fellow nominee, for this graphic!)

Friday night: Local Author Showcase at the @sdpubliclibrary . Meeting new writers, bumping into friends, and checking all the books.

I am officially a traditionally published novelist since Tuesday!!! My first book signing is on Sunday. Would love advice from writers and readers on what to have on my table (bookmarks, stickers?)

Oh my…. I saw Ghost Ship years ago and that scene is still vivid in my mind. Here’s mine:

Took the “cosplay plunge” this year at #ComicCon and had the most amazing time posing for pictures and discovering new writers/illustrators/artists/creators. I love speculative fiction and mysteries, so if you have recommendations, please, share them with me.
