Pingback: Weekend Update: May 7-8, 2022 – Maine Reportings
I’m SO excited to share my mystery writing news. I have signed a contract with Encircle Publications for my first mystery novel! It will be out in March 2023. The title is still TBD. Many of you here have been inspirational to me, especially Kathy Emerson and Kate Flora. (Fun fact: Kathy taught my English comp class back at UMF many moons ago. I’ve been following her amazing career ever since.) I’m now working on making more mystery connections, both readers and writers, online and in person. Hope to meet some of you IRL very soon.
That’s great news, Shelley. Congrats. P.S. Sorry I didn’t see your comment earlier. I’m bnot good at checkuinbg the Weekend Updates.
