Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 30,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers.
For any curiosity seekers, I released my ‘cozy zombie’ book last week. :)

Some great links!
Don’t mention the weather – check.
Alex–Except it’s tough not to. Especially when it keeps clocking in around 100 in NC… :)
So many great links here, as ever, Elizabeth. Thanks! I’m drawn to that one about taking a mini writing retreat. I haven’t done that recently…
Margot–I need one of those, myself!
