A huge thank you to my friend and former colleague Mack Haun for publishing a book honoring the service and sacrifice of three Eaton County deputies who lost their lives serving the citizens of Eaton County, Michigan over the years. #thinblueline
@WildBluePress Do you prefer the e-book over a traditional book? On Monday, May 25, you can get the e-book version of Killing Women for just $2.99. #truecrime#puremichigan

Today’s the day in beautiful historic Marshall, Michigan. It’s starts at the library. Visit the local businesses and meet a variety of different authors around town. I’ll be at the Abode Salon.

How to support authors without spending any money:
• Review their book on amazon.
• Follow them on social media.
• Post about the book online.
• Tell your friends about the book.
• Ask your local library to add the book.

The night before Frances Lacey was murdered on #mackinacisland in 1960, she left the key to her room with the desk clerk at the Murray Hotel three times and left the hotel. To this day, no one knows why. WildBlue Press #truecrime#TrueCrimeCommunity#puremichigan
@lhallwriter I had one of my books made into three documentary style TV shows…World’s Most Evil Killers, I Survived a Serial Killer, and Making a Serial Killer. #truecrime
There are ways to help support an author buy a book from them, recommend one of their books to friends/family, leave a review, or repost one of their books.
I don't get upset about much, but there's an issue going on in the publishing world that's very distressing. I keep seeing people tell writers not to use em dashes or ellipses because people will think their book was written by AI.
Here's the truth--54 of my books were stolen to train AI. Stolen books happened to most authors I know. We used those em dashes and ellipses FIRST. They are OUR tools and don't belong to AI. Authors, use all the tools at your disposal and fight back!
I use Grok to research medical stuff, especially about my husband's cancer. I ask it things (anything you search on a search engine uses AI) but it never writes anything for me. Every em dash and ellipse in my books are put there by me and they will stay there.
There's a frenzy of AI accusations out there, but as readers, please don't join in on the witch hunt. Most of us are just using the writing tools they've always used.
