Last June, hanging out with Hazel in Edinburgh. I thought of Hazel and her handler, Alex, tonight when I came across a feather Alex gifted to me last summer. I've been blessed to meet this magnificent creature twice--once in 2023, once in 2025. Always a treasured experience.

Signed copies of #ShailaHolmesFairyDetective by @LoriMKeating made their way onto the Summer Reading table at @bnbrandonfl yesterday. 😍 Be sure to stop by if you're in the area and pick up a copy! #ProudEditor #EditorsDesk #EditorsLife

Proud editor moment... Congratulations to @LoriMKeating on her first feature in @PublishersWkly magazine! "Shaila Holmes Fairy Detective" received Editor's Pick, scoring straight A's!

Morning. The time and effort spent creating a book is phenomenal. So when an author is offering their work on pre-order at the special price of 99c, or 99p, it really isn't a good look to ask for a free copy to review, saving less than a dollar or a pound. Come on, folk, give an author a break and stop expecting indies to hand out their pride and joy for nothing. Have a great Monday 😘📚

Nothing beats an acoustic set at a small venue. Wonderful evening with my love, listening to good music and having this unexpected opportunity to meet @Michaelraymusic.

Advice from me as a literary agent who’s also a writer: If your CP or agent or editor is telling you to remove things from your own writing (that you know you wrote) because it sounds like AI, you might politely tell them to go pound sand. AI is trained to sound like us, and it’s only getting better at it. But you are the only one with your voice. Treasure it. Keep it sacred (with all the em dashes and metaphors), no matter what anyone tells you to do.
