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.
And it was a sad week for cozy mystery lovers. Joyce Lavene, who wrote cozies with her husband Jim, suddenly passed away this past week. They have about a dozen mystery series written under a variety of different names. Joyce was a great writer and a good friend. They live close by and I considered Joyce a mentor… she helped me jump start my writing career about ten years ago. My thoughts are with Jim and his family. Joyce will be missed.
