Having my theory, ‘The Spike that Intervenes: How I Accidentally Solved Drood’ published in the summer 2024 edition of The Dickensian feels like I’ve just been knighted by Charles Dickens himself! (I can officially die now.)

@DonnaSundblad Happy Birthday! 🎉🎈🎂

If you love Charles Dickens (like me), be sure to view Dr. Lydia Craig’s article in Dickens Studies Annual, “Recent Dickens Studies: 2024.” (There’s also a brief summary of my “Spike that Intervenes” theory under the Law, Crime, and Detection section.) Happy reading! 📚

@BenMank77 #4, with hopes the plane would go down and we’d get stranded on a desert island. :::wiggling eyebrows like Groucho:::

@vickyweberbooks This falls under the “I believe“ category:
That by writing fiction, you can accidentally solve the world’s greatest literary mystery and have your theory published in an academic journal.

@lady_valor_07 There were always some crazy kids who would grab the beams atop the roof and hang from them. (Oftentimes those are the ones to look out for.)

[Mark Wheats @mark_wheats]

@lady_valor_07 :::raising hand::: I did. What it really came down to was not wanting to look like a coward in front of your gym class. (I say this because I would be perfectly fine being a coward by not climbing it if I were alone.)

@DickensFellowHQ I love this—it has become a holiday tradition among Christmas shows!

@TheaLanden Anita on a pita (onomatopoeia)?

@poppygibsonuk There’s no “the”?

@bethcarter007 Most definitely a plotter than a pantser. (Aren’t those two Of the names of Santa’s reindeer?) 😉

@HDunn_Writer I don’t think I’ve ever read a highlighted book whereas the highlights were something beneficial. (At a very young age, we learn we can’t rely on others to do our reading.)

@kaulshaee Congratulations!📜🍾

@a_bookishgirl Precisely what’s missing from today’s AI society: heart and soul.

Gotta like rookie Jaxson Dart on the NY Giants. (He’s like something out of Lord of the Flies.)

@SketchesbyBoze My advice, just imagine you’re a detective, solving the mystery of each word as you go along. (Other than that, you may want to wait for the “text edition” to come out [with emojis]).
