Looking for a spooky read? Like ghosties & paranormal activity? Check out 80s Ghosts by @vslaw.bsky.social!
Overall it was 5 ⭐️ for me. I give it 3.75 / 5 on the spooky meter (I couldn’t read it at night only because I have a very active imagination and those shadows started to look weird, man.)

Today my beloved treated me to a spontaneous trip for Wrigley for the game. It’s been 37 years since I was at a Cubs game - my first time as an adult.

Good morning, friends!!
I’ve banishsed myself to my office so I can work on the edits for Pies, Lies, and Alibis!
(I just realized my cup looks dirty… 🤣 fear not, your intrepid author-friend just likes a little extra cinnamon magic in her morning coffee!)

I am trying to be so methodical about things but I've had the completed book cover in my little hands for a little over week now and I'm DYING to show you!
I am planning to do a cover reveal by September 1st...do we think I can wait that long?! #Amwriting

We've met most of the main characters in Pies, Lies, and Alibis…maybe we should meet your humble author? 😅
PS - I have a book cover in my grubby little hands...I'm absolutely dying to share it with you! 😉

Sebastian is good friends w/ Kendall; they've known each other for years, ever since Kendall's grandmother moved to Willowhaven. He's always wondered if there was potential for more than just friendship, but didn't want to risk ruining anything. #amwriting #cozymystery

Meet Mittens McGee, Tess's cat. Unlike some cozy mysteries he doesn't necessarily save the day or help solve the case. But he's a good sport to allow us to inhabit his world.

Up next is Tess, Kendall's best friend.
Tess is the more logical yin to Kendall's emotional yang; they balance each other nicely. That's not to say Tess doesn't have her moments of vulnerability, she's just way cooler about it than Kendall ever could be. 😅

While we wait for a book cover reveal, let’s meet some of our main characters from Pies, Lies, and Alibis!
Meet Kendall, the 43 year-old bakery owner at the center of our story. She hates talking about herself, but I convinced her to list a few things so you could get to know her better.

Just sent my book to an editor! Now I’m gonna go eat my feelings and try not to overthink every typo I’m sure I made in that manuscript 😅🫣 #amwriting

Listen here, toaster. If I tell you I want them burnt to a crisp at the risk of setting the smoke detector off, that’s what I expect. Two toasting cycles on the higher setting should not give me uneven, lightly-toasted items. You’re new. Get your shit together.

Do you have any burning questions about the book? My writing process? If I think Oasis will stick together longer than the infamous head of lettuce? 🥬
