Next in my occasional series of weird words I can't believe exist (except I can, because English is a beautifully strange at times), here's one about breakfast, because apparently we need another word for breakfast things. Fake internet points if you use the word jentacular today 😂👍 #words #wordnerd #weirdwords #breakfast #funnywords #englishisweird #englishisfun #writerscommunity #writersofig #mysterywriter https://www.instagram.com/p/B57bhBfgmF0/?igshid=1c9j48o94quto

Tommy doesn't get a lot of airtime (or whatever the bookish equivalent is) in the first few books, but he's a a lot of fun to play with. He's Clara's handsome, charming, and morally ambiguous co-worker who has his eye on Clara and isn't subtle about it. Needless to say, Lucas isn't his biggest fan 😂 Buuuut, thanks to circumstances beyond his control (but very much under mine, mwahahaha) Lucas will have to work with Tommy a lot in the next book in the series. This will not go well... #comingsoon #murdermystery #murdermysteries #morallybankrupt #morallycorrupt #morallyambiguous #morals #mysterywriter #writerscommunity #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B55aXpwgP8d/?igshid=dx8a9kqapweq

#authorchallenge2019 day 4: MC occupation. When he's not out reluctantly wrangling ghosties and solving murders, my boy Lucas works at the Castlebury Gazette, the local paper for his village and the surrounding area. This means he gets to write thrilling stories about the canary club meets, W.I. baking competitions, and Mr Simpkins' humourously shaped vegetables (incidentally, if you subscribe for my newsletter you'll get a copy of the Castlebury Gazette as a welcome gift.

Catching up with #authorchallenge2019 after not quite getting myself organised in time (surprise surprise) Anyway... Day 1 is what I write, and that's old fashioned murder mysteries with added ghosts. Kinda, imagine if Miss Marple was psychic... And a young man working in a newspaper office... Who doesn't actually *want* to solve murders but just wants the ghosts to leave him alone (and that I could write like Agatha Christie, because that'd be great 👍 😂 #goals though, right?) Day 2 is writers wish list, which is fairly self explanatory, as is day 3. Hopefully, I'll be a bit more organised and remember to post on the actual days 🤣😂 #authorschallenge2019plus #amwritingfiction #writingcommunityofinstagram #writingcommunity #writingabook #writersworld #authorsofinstagram #writingtips #writingtime #writinganovel #supportingauthors #authorssupportingauthors #writerslife #authorslife #amwriting #supportwriters #supportwritersandauthors #supportauthors #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #authorsofinsta #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writersofinsta #writerscommunity #writingprompt #writingprompts #writingchallenge #mysterywriter https://www.instagram.com/p/B5nNrR8AW7b/?igshid=6rcgen2rkhg6

Good advice, and an excellent excuse to read lots 😉 Do you read everything or stick to one or two genres? I try and keep an open mind, but I'm honestly not a fan of romance (I'm a self-confessed romantic black hole, as my long suffering boyfriend would testify, and I generally don't enjoy reading them) and I don't like horror because it gets stuck in my head. Otherwise, I'll give most things a chance... However, I will ruthlessly abandon something I don't enjoy, but I'll give it a chapter or two to win me over first 😂 #reading #readingisfun #readingcommunity #writingtips #writing #writingcommunityofinstagram #writingcommunity #writinglife #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #williamfaulkner #writingquotes #readingquotes #readersofig #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B5cvD5ugZDW/?igshid=igvv2w5k0hzg

Eeeek, so exciting! And I little bit scary 😅 especially as my website isn't set up properly yet... So, guess what I'm up to for the rest of today 🤣💻🤞 #comingsoon #newwebsite https://www.instagram.com/p/B5XeFmjglT8/?igshid=eqmxg9ntn2la

In celebration of finally finishing the first edit/rewrite, I thought I'd share a bit more of the cover 😁 now, just to print out all off and attack it with a red pen for round 2 👍✒️ but not today, my brain is now fudge 🤣 #amediting #amwriting #amwritingfiction #mysterywriter #murdermystery #amateursleuth #coverreveal #cover #writingcommunityofinstagram #indieauthor #indie #indieauthors https://www.instagram.com/p/B4262zyA3zd/?igshid=gqss9brhn986
