Erica, I've published novels for 20 years both conventional and indie. My next, "Thy Mother is a Lioness" will be out later this year and I'm going to serialize it on Substack. I am so new here that I truly don't understand how we best communicate. When the time comes I'd like to reach out to you and, hopefully, get on your radar to read a chapter or two. How best to go about that.

Of course. I keep my ear to the ground and my eyes open and try to see as much of who is writing some really compelling fiction. And I have to say, the musical movie, Harvey Girls, is one of my favorites!

So, when I saw you were writing a mystery based on them I HAD TO check it out and kick myself for not knowing about it MUCH sooner!

Such a great historical time period and location for mysteries!

Same here! I first learned of the Harvey Girls thru the Judy Garland movie, last year. It sparked my research. I love the mystery potential, as well, and enjoy putting some of our forgotten history into my storytelling. You've made me realize it's something I do a lot. And I've been looking for a theme that unites my mysteries. 😉 Thanks for the eureka moment! ❤️
