Hey, writers! Just want to put this on your radar. There's a rash of new accounts here trying to scam writers by pretending to be book marketers. They are generally not legit. You can recognize them because:
A new favorite from our latest library haul. Guaranteed laughs every time from my son who loves kitties and anything silly, and a sweet message about family in the end, too. 🦆 🐱
Lilies from my husband and son 🥰 hearing “Hey Mom! We got you a surprise!” is always a joy.
So excited to share that my debut picture book biography about Junko Tabei’s historic climb of Mount Everest will be hitting shelves in Fall 2025! Endless thanks to super agent @pageturnerlit.bsky.social for his work and support.
You might be a writer if you announce to your family that you’re done with the first draft instead of the first coat when painting a room. Whoops.
Delighted to share this story about my sweet grandma’s wedding as my first post here: www.kctv5.com/2023/10/16/c...
Cheers! 96-year-old couple ties the knot in Olathe
The couple met two years ago at Cedar Lakes Village, where they are both residents.
