Didn’t plan to end up in Oxford. Didn’t plan to have a print copy of the collection with me. But the stars aligned, so of course I had to do a little promo photoshoot.

Yep, we joined the crowds and saw it, in IMAX of course. Really good! Very faithful to the book. Amaze!

Artemis gives it a rousing thumbs down, I mean up, I mean .... well, if you know you know.

I’m working on my fourth mystery while @patrickswenson.bsky.social’s Rainforest writers retreat, Session 3, and there can be no more inspiring image than this crow stand-in this morning for the iconic mystery symbol of the Raven #writing #writitingcommunity #mystery

Just finished a week at the Rainforest Writers Village! What a beautiful place, with amazing people! Thanks @patrickswenson.bsky.social for organizing a wonderful week. I spent lots of time writing (4000 words) but also spent a little too much $$ on books and souvenirs!

Just seen the covers are now up for the new editions of Judith Moffett's brilliant Holy Ground Trilogy coming from @patrickswenson.bsky.social Fairwood Press in April, June & July. They're very striking. I already have 2 older copies of the first two but might be tempted by a matched set.
