For the IMMP #podcast I need to select several episodes of The Love Boat.
Is the proper pluralization "Love Boats" or "Loves Boat"?
#WritersCoffeeClub 3/31: What are we celebrating regarding your writing this month?
Lots!
• For my upcoming book, I received some very kind endorsements from peers, plus a positive review from Kirkus.
• I reread my draft for the next in this series, and liked it. Eager to get back to work.
And on top of that are all the things I'm jazzed about in other peoples' writing, like Delilah Dawson writing a SLEEPY HOLLOW comic. And the Jason Cordova/ Gauntlet kickstarter for the PUBLIC ACCESS ttrgp.
What's a good thing to wake up to on a Monday morning?
An excellent review from Kirkus for an upcoming book.
That's a really good thing to wake up to.

Monday morning, waiting for the Weed Man.
(Settle down. It’s not that weed man. It’s the lawn service guy who’s supposed to put down fertilizer today.)
#ScribesAndMakers 3/30
Do birds ever feature in your work? Give an example.
A tiny bit?
In one scene in QUESTIONS FOR THE DEAD, Mark -- a psychic who can talk with animals -- appears to have a brief exchange with some rude, snarky sparrows.
#ScribesAndMakers 3/25: Do you use #music as a storytelling tool?
Don't know if this counts as a "storytelling tool," but I wrote a mystery set in 1959 London Soho that takes place in the jazz scene there. Lots of songs mentioned, with specific versions/recordings in mind, and that became my writing playlist built up over the course of the project.
(By the way - that novel is still looking for a good home!)

Today’s present: a stop at Corvus Coffee for a cappuccino and a restock of fresh beans.
#WritersCoffeeClub 3/24 Do you have a writerly "third place"?
No one specific place, but I like writing away from the distractions of my home or office. For first drafts especially, I'll get away to a library or coffee shop or somewhere else if I can.
