Hi Jean, I'd love to be on your podcast. I write the 1930s historical cozy noir "Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery" series. I've also written and illustrated a couple of children's books, and have had many short horror and mystery stories (mostly humorous) published in print anthologies and on webzines.

Four steps for restarting (or abandoning) a stalled book project - Josh Bernoff About 20% of the time, authors I work with stop making progress. This pause often lasts months. It also saps authorsโ€™ energy and creates guilt and sadness. If this is you, I want you to feel better.โ€ฆ

Tuesdays With Laurie
When we recognize that every bloom, no matter its shape or color, belongs to the same vibrant arrangement, we begin to see the masterpiece of our shared bouquet.

The moment we move from โ€œus and themโ€ to โ€œwe,โ€ the world opens, softens, and becomes a far more beautiful place.
