CrimeReads WHY FICTIONAL DETECTIVES SHOULD HAVE FRIENDS (AND KATIE SIEGEL IS SAD IF THEY DON'T) The author of Out of the Loop on the emotional import of sleuths' companions FEBRUARY 18, 2026 BY KATIE SIEGEL

CrimeReads Now, despite being told by multiple people that I do not have "only child energy" (I have theatre kid energy, it's different), I am an only child. And I know many would not call their siblings their friends. But when I say that Detectives Should Have Friends and I Get Sad When They Don't, I'm saying 1 like it when detectives have some kind of companionship, whether it be a friend, romantic partner, professional partner, sibling, roommate, neighbor, grandma, or talking dog.

CrimeReads When developing my post-time loop mystery, Out of the Loop, I knew that twenty-eight-year-old Amie Teller could very easily be alone in life. It would have made the two years she spent in a time loop even more lonely than such an experience would already be. But time loops are scary enough, not to mention when there's a murder thrown in. So I gave her David, Amie's friend and neighbor, who interrupts Amie's spiraling thoughts with a voice of reason. I also gave her Ziya, Amie's ex-girlfriend, who assists with the sleuthing as the two try to navigate their new relationship as friends. Just friends. Nothing more. After a childhood filled with kid detectives, my first forays into the world of adult detectives were during my tweenage years, one of which was incited by the release of the adaptation that changed the fabric of Tumblr forever: BBC's Sherlock.

Thank you to CrimeReads for letting me yap about the companions in OUT OF THE LOOP, question Nancy Drew's taste in men, and possibly invent the word "Poiri" Sorry Raymond Chandler!! crimereads.com/why-fictiona...

Katie holding Out of the Loop open in front of her face. Text: The time loop ends and the mystery begins. For the past two years, Amie Teller has been stuck in a time loop. Each day, she wakes up and it’s September 17th. Same day, same weather, same people, same conversations. Until, one day, it’s September 18th, and Amie is free. Before she can celebrate, Amie learns her neighbor was kiIIed the day before—the day Amie has lived hundreds of times. Amie knows she has to help; nobody knows yesterday like she does. But acclimating to her new non-repeating life proves to be more difficult than expected. How does one resume their life after a time loop, anyway? Assisted by an ex-girlfriend who wants to make their friendship work, and a grumpy neighbor who spends his days building Rube Goldberg machines, Amie sets out to track down who kiIIed (and kiIIed and kiIIed and kiIIed) Savannah Harlow.

MY POST-TIME LOOP MYSTERY BOOK IS OUT IN ONE MONTH 🌀📆

I don’t actually do this a lot but almost exactly a year later I rolled to decide something by assigning 1 and 3 to no and 2 and 4 to yes. I rolled a 5. it was a d8

ICE shot a woman driving away from them in the face in broad daylight and immediately began to smear her as a perpetrator of violence and domestic terrorism. The greatest threat to Americans is our own “law and order.”

omg wait my alt key fell off and I need that to do em dashes. am I being sent a message

I have a habit of using too many commas in my writing but now the comma key on my keyboard keeps sticking so maybe this was the solution all along

2025 was a rebuilding year!! 2026 I am REAPING what I have SOWN!!!!
