It’s here! It’s here! It’s here!

Did I grab your attention? Tomorrow kicks off the first day of Left Coast Crime 2024: Seattle Shakedown! I’ll be at the conference as an attendee. There will be many guest speakers, panels of intrigue, and there’s always mystery book goodies! Registration is closed … BUT, there are still DAY PASSES available!

As per their website:
Individual Day Passes for Thursday ($75), Friday ($95), and Saturday ($95) are now available.
(Day Passes are sold separately and do not include admission to any food events.)

Sorry I haven’t been posting monthly. I think I need to stop committing to it. I hate disappointing anyone, especially you, Precious Reader. This has been a season of extreme strain on relationships (Pilot and I are fine) within my personal circle, and it emotionally drained me.

I’ve also been busy launching a new business! In my day-to-day life, I have always enjoyed creating art ever since I was a child It’s an inherent part of me. I’m a visual learning and planner, and my “murder board” (my board used to plot out my books) often has hand drawn maps and hand drawn “sets” for when I’m visualizing a scene in my books. It helps me make sense of where my characters are located, how they are in relation to each other, and how placement of furniture and characters will affect their movements, senses, and speech.

My new business is doing digital illustrations! There’s no theme other than I draw what I like. What I like tends to be cute things. Sometimes it falls under other stuff as well, but mostly cute things.

If you’re attending Left Coast Crime, look me up! I’d love to chat with you. I’ll be passing out business cards at the event, which will include my new digital illustration business as well.

See you there! If not, I’ll be writing about my experience at LCC when the conference is over. (I’ll do my best to take as many pictures as possible!)
