Had a lovely time seeing Polly Stewart at Bookshelf on Church yesterday. Huge fan of Polly and The Felon's Ball! Had a great turnout at a fantastic bookstore. Virginia readers, bookstores, and authors are wonderful!

In case you're wondering how to give a robot vacuum nightmares, I turned mine on its edge to clear out a jam and it screamed "I AM TOO CLOSE TO A CLIFF PLEASE REPOSITION ME." You're welcome.

I love that point when editing that you fall so deeply into the story that you forget you're supposed to be editing at all

Pictured: an unidentified bone we found today (probably not human), a rusted shovel in the woods (definitely not human), and some black raspberries (just for fun). Not pictured: the .22 bullet that now has my fingerprints on it.

Or am I making sure my neighbors are used to seeing me carrying my trash bag to pick up bottles all the time, so they don't think anything of it when I go back in the light of day to clean up any evidence I might have left behind after I murdered someone in the woods last night?

As a mystery writer, I have to wonder - am I inadvertently cleaning up someone's crime scene?

When I take the dog for a walk in the boonies, I pick up any trash I find. It's mostly beer bottles and cigarettes (covered in DNA!) or fast-food receipts and junk mail (with names on them!). Today, I also found a few dozen old pennies, a broken mirror, a ponytail holder, and an unspent bullet.
