A chapter epigraph reads “Innocence is always unsuspicious” & she is that. She believes the best of people. Tamara de Lempicka’s “Portrait of a Young Lady in a Blue Dress ” (in the 1st post) captures her almost perfectly. 3/3

The two adore ballroom dancing, Argentine tango especially. Not surprisingly, the student’s ballroom dance association asked her to serve as their faculty advisor. In terms of personality, Lillie is warm & generous (in bed & out, much to Patrick’s delight!). 2/3

mage ID: Selfie of author J.A. Jablonski. A black and white closeup portrait of a white, female-presenting person with white hair pulled back, their lower face slightly covered by a shirt collar. The large eyes are deep set behind oblong glasses. They look directly at the camera with a thoughtful and direct expression.

Screenshot of text from a recent Instagram post of my author selfie. The text reads "Academic mystery author thinks academic mystery thoughts. As I work on the logistics of publishing Bk 1 of my Osley College Mystery series, I am quite deep into Bk 2 with a near-complete draft that I hope to send to beta readers soon. There is a little hitch* in the plot-making, though, that has me staring at the walls (for more time than I’d like, frankly, but that’s an occupational hazard). * i.e., Is there one murderer or two? The dilemma centers on my preference to avoid cliché solutions and to serve appropriately-matched justice on the people who kill or damage others. The one person who seems to be at fault really shouldn’t be if I am true to my principles."

The imaginary friends aspect of writing can be entertaining and soothing when the writing itself goes boggy. 😊 Especially when it's a child character. Some nattering on that here: www.instagram.com/p/C_XpiM8ufm...
