Nice solve, Wil!
Nice solve, Wil!
So apparently, I got a BookBub deal. π²
And I have a new book coming out pretty soon, so I thought maybe I should put the first in the series up for sale.
Now .99 in Canada, the UK and in Australia.
ADAM'S WITNESS

HEADLINES. HOMICIDE. HEAT.
Mark your calendars, #writers.
Craig Silliphant (and I) are talking time on March 3 in a Saskatchewan Writers' Guild event.
Craig is one of the busiest people I know. If he can find time to write, I expect most of us can.
But how?

Great read from Written Word Media about attention span, the length of the modern novel, the importance of dialogue, and more.

Very wise. Very kind. Very clever.
And yes, I expect very fit.

Arthur Slade β my first book editor and fabulous #author β knows how to roll with the publishing punches. He discusses why he's launching his newest work, Metaloria, on Substack.
Great insights in my latest author profile.
Thank you, Art.

"For Adam, Grace is both a complication and a revelation. This instant desire threatens to throw off his typical rational mind and compromise not only the outcome of the investigation, but maybe even her life."

Hey #writers, I have a Q.
PLEASE see this meme of me with an old version of my cover, below. A friend "put 'me' in the picture" as a lark (you'll see the trim job is um imperfect) complete with pants and high heels. I don't wear heels, but whatevs.

. . . so I borrowed a stub from the nearby restaurant. Tape recorder froze, too.
This is Nothing compared to what Johnson has endured. It does give me insight into the lengths journalists must go to, to get and file stories.
Huge respect. Lizzie Johnson.

LAID OFF IN A WARZONE.
Part of the huge purge at a paper that was once a bastion of brilliant reporting in America.
Yo, Bezos. You know democracy dies in darkness.
So, small city journalist here, who once covered a rural hotel fire in -40C. Pen froze. Like an idiot, I'd forgotten a pencil . . .

Washington Post Kyiv correspondent Lizzie Johnson was laid off by Jeff Bezos in the middle of a warzone, where she has been frequently writing in pencil, because pens freeze, from the "warmth" of her car with a headlamp, risking her life.

Ahh Marta. Thank you so much for your comment. Same here. Obvi.
"...the consent piece is what has sent the hockey romance into the stratosphere."
Yes, yes and yes. So *those* scenes were gorgeous to look at (and so were Hudson and Connor, of course), but what really made my heart skip a beat while watching was the asking.
βYou still okay?β Ilya Rozanov asks Shane Hollander.
They are deep in the throes of having sex in episode two of Heated Rivalry. Hollander has long since said βyes.β Yet, Rozanov asks the question.
Consent has gone viral. Let's enjoy it for a hot minute.
