And by contrast with that neat, pretty, finished copy of AN ARTFUL DODGE on the library shelf, THIS is what "2 days until my manuscript is due to my editor" looks like. 🤣🤣 #amwriting #howthesausagegetsmade #mystery #manuscript #sequel @sohopress.bsky.social

Last day to preorder AN ARTFUL DODGE!! FYI--preorders are INCREDIBLY important to a book's success--they tell booksellers there's interest in the book, and they stock copies on the shelves for others to find. It's that simple. PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR INDIE BOOKSELLER! @sohopress.bsky.social #newbook
