An argument I made over and over when I was a library director, but sadly, no one seemed as concerned as I was that not actually owning the media could mean it could disappear at any time.

Hey, y’all. Have you heard abt the anthology MOTHERSOUND? It's the 1st short story anthology set in a shared fictional world based on African cultures. Edited by Wole Talabi with authors from African continent and diaspora. The magic is sound-based. Looks really cool.

A finished embroidery hoop sits in my lap. It features a stitched illustration of Strega Nona waving her hands over a spaghetti filled cauldron and up above her head it says “Girl Dinner” in black capital letters on white sparkly linen.

I’m kind of terrible at social media right now and keep forgetting to post. But today I made a thing to make myself happy and had to share.

Royalty statement season is coming up for a lot of authors, so here's my big post about Understanding Author Money, including a few tips on reading your statement: jodimeadows.substack.com/p/understand...

As a retired librarian, I can confirm this is true. (I include this fact in a couple of my books that feature librarians, too!)

Just sent the completed manuscript of A KILLER CLUE, bk 2 in my Hunter and Clewe mystery series, to my editor!
