#GhostPit 👻THE BONES BECKON
2 college students disappeared on Halloween night 20 years ago. Now the daughter of 1 of them is looking for answers. A secretive literary society holds the key.

More from the 1920 book on Halloween costumes. If I was going to include this type of party in a his fiction story, I'd go down a rabbit hole of research to find out if people then wore black and orange as costumes or they wore costumes of characters, historical figures, etc like today #amwriting

Even though I do have a black cat, I'm posting this instead for National Black Cat Day because I think it's hilarious.

Someone posted asking how you would describe a wealthy person without saying they were wealthy. I would say having an assortment of winter coats in impractical colors would be one way. Plaid, white, light blue, etc. #amwriting

My #JaneAusten -inspired #romcom is now available in hardcover as well as paperback & ebook. Link in the comments. Just for info-it's not a hardcover with a sleeve. The cover is printed on the binding itself. New trend? I don't know! Still working on a large print paperback edition #WritingCommunity

Yes, I learned to grout tile, and no, I will not be doing it again. Not fun, though it turned out well. (My husband is responsible for that)

Self-publishing isn't for the fainthearted. I'm keeping careful track of my expenses, and I'm 1/4 of the way to breaking even. The book has been out 3 weeks. I'd like to get to the halfway payoff point at one month. :) #WritingCommunity #JaneAusten

Rose Ryan is not a witch, or so she tells herself, but she will need some extra power to solve the vanishing of 3 college students 18 years ago, one of whom was Rose’s mother. The secret lies within a mysterious literary society, but if Rose finds the answer, she may vanish too

The first of many projects this year is republishing my #historicalfiction #historicalmystery with a new title and a new cover. Lots of steps to doing that, but first a new logline. I know it's long, so any thoughts would be appreciated. #WritingCommunity

The preliminary design for a cover character done by a young digital art student I hired. It's perfect! The character is looking at a blueprint and her wreck of a house she's restoring.
