I’m currently reading “Hyphens & Hashtags”, a book about the history of punctuation. Apparently, in 1837, two Frenchmen decided that a duel was necessary over the use of a semicolon. I can envision the scene now; one man curled into a dot, with the other on the ground in a comma. 😂 #BookSky #Writers

This is cover is from my most recent release: Dancing in the Purple Rain. #Dystopian #SciFi #technothriller Sometimes being special can make you a target. And when they can manipulate memories, who can you trust? (See my bio for links.) #WritingLifeMonthly #BookSky #WritingCommunity

The image is the current opening paragraph from my current work-in-progress. It will likely be edited multiple times before published in 2027. Yep, you read that correctly. 2027. But I need to get off my ass and finish writing it. #WritingLifeMonthly #AmWriting #Thriller #Technothriller #SciFi
Snippet from my work-in-progress: The shooter lay on his stomach with his eye pressed to the scope. 600 meters. It was a baby's shot. Any sniper could make this shot. But he didn't trust anyone else to do it. This shot wasn't about making the immediate kill. It was about dragging out the torture, making sure that the hunters knew they were now the hunted.

It's not common for people to see my office from this view. They often see my shelves behind me, not the desk, with all the knick-knacks & the two massive monitors. But the home office is MY space. And I need those monitors for editing.

Hubby was at a conference for waste water management this week... and he came home with a pile of shot for me. 🤣 It's a stress ball.
Gotta love the #ToiletHumor in this house. It now has a place of pride on my desk. #WritersLife

I will happily take that book association. According to Goodreads, readers of "Dancing in the Purple Rain" also enjoyed the "Murderbot" series. Yep, I'll gladly take that association! #BookSky #Books #SciFi #SciFiThrillers #Technothriller

Yesterday, I complained about graphs & tables in the manuscript of my upcoming release 'Antagonistic Beats of a Story.' It's a typesetting nightmare, but I got there. The fact that these pages needed to be sideways didn't help.

#BookSky #AmPublishing #AntagonisticBeats #WritingCommunity
Screen capture of two pages from the current typeset document. Page on left shows a sideways graph (depicting the beats found in a story). Page on the right shows a table that is also sideways on the page (detailing the beats found in Act 1). These pages are from "Antagonistic Beats of a Story", due for release in February 2026.

(Goodreads Review) "Cautionary and compelling, with echoes of Butler, Wyndham and Carroll, Judy L Mohr's Dancing in the Purple Rain is an important work from a dynamic new voice in speculative fiction." - New Voices of Aotearoa "It is very rare that I get to the end of a fiction book and want to start it all over again straight away, but when I finished Dancing in the Purple Rain, I needed to do just that..."

The Queen of Hearts. Double-headed & regal. And Michaella's last link to reality. Now she must weed through implanted memories to save herself and future generations from becoming emotionless automatons.

Dancing in the Purple Rain, a technothriller, is released on August 1.

#BluePit📖 #A #SF #SP #P
A person wearing a purple hooded raincoat stands alone in the middle of a dark, rainy, futuristic city. Tall buildings with neon lights and holographic billboards surround them, one featuring a stylized Queen of Hearts figure. Lightning streaks across a stormy sky, and the wet street reflects the glow of digital signage. The atmosphere is tense and dystopian.
