Hi there! Thanks for visiting my blog! I’m an author who is delving into the publishing world. I enjoy writing hard-boiled detective mysteries, as well as watching golden-era film noir about brooding private eyes who go on harrowing adventures.
On my website, you’ll find information and news about my current and upcoming books, as well as get a little peek inside my writing world as I work on my latest projects.
My current writing project features a character named Tootsie Carter, a female private detective who solves mysteries and fights crime in the gritty setting of 1975 New York City. Tootsie is a snarky, no-nonsense gal who fights the good fight. Tootsie’s character began as a series of light-hearted children’s short stories that I’d written back in 2012. The stories chronicled Tootsie’s childhood in 1956. Eventually, I hope to compile these short stories together into a single book (or a series of compilations) to be published. A lot of the characters from the short stories make appearances in the later books.
I started this blog in hopes of keeping myself accountable when it comes to my book projects. I’m looking forward to sharing these stories with new readers.
I have read very few hardboiled novels but I have watched a lot (Bogart, Mitchum, Widmark and all those old films). Good luck for your work, I hope the blog works for you 🙂
Hey there ! Thanks for stopping by ? Yes, all those movies are classics. I always enjoy a fun mystery.
Good to see you!! Keeping a blog is a great idea for accountability. I love mine. It keeps me on track. Can’t wait to hear more about what you’re writing!
Thanks for checking it out! I will be posting more on my writing journey every week. I’m really loving this blog circle. What a great idea!
