I chatted with my amazing narrator Devon Sorvari about #TheStoryThatWouldntDie. I asked which character, other than my main character Jolene, she really enjoyed. Devon's answer surprised me! @MinotaurBooks #books #fiction #mystery

Some personal news, this week I was laid off after 4 years at Eventbrite. I'm using this sign to finally launch my full-time freelance writing (20%)/consulting (80%) business after a decade of side hustling. Please hire me to market, write, & edit things! sophievershbow.com/consultin…

I finally met the man behind a pivotal scene in the Phoenix based mystery novel Off the Air! @WindyCitySlider Owner Bob Pappanduros is as friendly in-person as he is in the book. Thank you for the delicious dog and crispy fries!

I can’t wait to moderate a conversation with the legendary @JAJance at @TFOB at @uarizona this Saturday, March 14! Her Ali Reynolds series planted the seed for my writing. 📚 Who’s coming? #books

I’m not exaggerating when I say it took years to get this group together! I worked at @abc15 three different times and these incredible people were with me for the first ride as I adjusted from Midwest living to the Sonoran Desert. ❤️❤️❤️

Books under the sun. Conversations in every corner. @TFOB is one of my favorite events, bringing in 100s of authors from across the country 100,000 visitors. It's powered mostly by volunteers—people who love connecting authors and readers. See you in Tucson!

“We grew up together, Phoenix and I,” Talton wrote in his first column in The Republic. “It is my root and my touchstone.”
Jon Talton grew up in Phoenix and treasured it. But he brought a business journalist's eye to the city's development in his Republic columns in the early 2000s. azcentral.com/story/news/ari…

This marked the final formal council meeting for @cityofphoenixaz Manager Jeff Barton. After 26 years of service to Phoenix residents, he’s retiring. Jeff Barton is a man of faith, family and integrity and will be greatly missed. When COVID-19 hit, Jeff guided us by remaining calm, compassionate and always honest. Jeff has earned something rare in public life - genuine respect across every political perspective. Fiscal conservatives, progressives and moderates trust him. Jeff, is leaving Phoenix stronger, more transparent, and more prepared for what comes next. Thank you, Jeff!
