Editing this manuscript has made me crave Korean corn dogs BADLY.
Mind you, I’ve never even had them before. But obviously I need to remedy that asap.

Mixed media storytelling is totally the way to my heart but when you add a relatable main character who’s chronically online, creative, and couldn’t be more of a romantic…yeah you got me!

Picture of me (a brown skin Black 29-year-old girl) posing in front of train tracks, smiling and holding up my iPad, which shows the cover for THE ARCTIC RAILWAY ASSASSIN by M.G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman
Close up picture of me (a brown skin Black 29-year-old girl) on a train smiling and holding up my iPad, which shows the cover for THE ARCTIC RAILWAY ASSASSIN by M.G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman
Book cover for THE ARCTIC RAILWAY ASSASSIN showing a boy holding on to the side of a moving train, with a man leaning out of train window and a girl on a reindeer sled beside the train.
Screenshot of excerpt from THE ARCTIC RAILWAY ASSASSIN. It reads: another chair as he sat down beside her. Hal took the opposite seat, blinking his eyes to wake himself up. The dim lighting in the warm bar was making him feel sleepy. "Did Uncle Nat tell you that I like to solve mysteries as well as draw?" Hal asked Morti. "Do you know, he didn't." Morti smiled at Uncle Nat. "But I've read about a few of your cases in the newspapers. It seems you two are a lot alike." "We are." Hal felt a little put out that his uncle hadn't mentioned his detective skills to his friend. "When I arrived, I could see he was worrying about the inexplicable things that've been happening to you. I wondered if I could help." "I'm not sure if you can." Morti shook her head. "The police haven't been able to make sense of it." "Let me try." "All right, then, well, this will sound peculiar," Morti said, folding her hands into her lap, "but my possessions keep dis-appearing." "Which possessions?" "Let me start at the beginning. The first odd thing happened nearly two months ago. My apartment in Copenhagen was burgled." "Oh!" Hal exclaimed. "That's awful." "It was an unpleasant experience." Mortimer nodded. "The place was turned upside down: My papers scattered, my drawers pulled out, my clothes on the floor, but the thieves must've been startled because nothing was taken."
Officially out!🥳
Trains are one of my fave transportations so it’s no surprise that I edited a mystery set on a train (several now actually 🤸🏾♀️). BUT between the stalker and assassin and “kill code” in this story…very glad none of my train rides were with Hal!
