So, Killer Nashville 🎸 just ended. I have to say it has been one of the best writers conferences that I’ve ever attended! 10 out of 10! I highly recommend! I am leaving inspired and enthusiastic to get back to work, and fan-girling over these two industry queens: J. A. Jance & Sara Paretsky. 🫶🏻

Beautiful day in Colorado! Decided to go for a walk. Thought I might add to all of the lovely blooming tree posts I’ve been seeing. Instead, I got mesmerized by the shadows clawing at the ground, like winter demons desperately trying to stop spring. 🤣 My imagination took a dark turn. #writer

What would you do to protect those you love?

You’d BLEED.

Him for revenge.

Her to protect.

But in the arena, the false queen only cares that you bleed to…

DEATH.

It’s time for the Usurper’s annual Colossus Games. ⚔️

But our FMC has no desire for the 🏆 Anonymity is vital.

Too bad our MMC has other plans for her. Just one prick and her 🤫 will be exposed.
