🔥 Top post Just got the email with the final proofs of Crimeucopia: Great Googly Moo! in which my mystery novelette "Bear and Bird in the Snow" will appear when it releases on the 19th. Very excited for this to come out. I wrote it almost two years ago for Murderous Ink Press's LGBTQ myste… ★ 6
“Bear and Bird in the Snow” is the latest in my series featuring Andrew Bear and Zach Bird, a mismatched pair of private investigators who solve crimes out of the Andrew Bear Photography Studio. Read it and 13 other tales of private detect… Are you looking for a meaty, private eye mystery with a closed-circle setting and a diverse, queer cast of suspects? Released today, "Bear and Bird in the Snow" follows two private detectives into the mountains for a tale of secrets, lies,… ★ 4 Just received the (digital) diploma for my MFA in creative writing (SNHU). It was a wild ride, and I've got a novel I love out of it (near future police procedural where policing has drastically changed). Now, I just need an agent 😅 #Writi… ★ 4 Recently, I came across some curious technology that purports to be able to put your brain on "do not disturb" so that you can fall asleep easier. Being the writer I am, I wondered, can I use this in my near-future settings? I explore the … I wrote this very short flash crime story for an event with Sisters in Crime last month and I thought I'd share it with you all. I hope it provides a nice few minutes of distraction for you today! https://michaelthomet.com/2024/11/07/balan… It's Halloween, and I've been itching to post a short story on my blog, so here's a small, spooky story with a little bit of mystery and the tiniest hint of science fiction. Happy Halloween! https://michaelthomet.com/2024/10/31/short-spook… ★ 2 Hey all! I wrote a story called "The Patchwork Boy" and it came out today in this year's volume of Nightmare Fuel, by Cloaked Press! The story is about Benjamin, a lonely quilter who is just about to make the worst mistake of his life. Rea… ★ 1 I turned in my MFA thesis novel today. 96,000 words. Who knew I had it all in me? ★ 6 I don't like types systems. They're inherently rigid and have more holes than they have categories. I'm a firm believer that people are not boxes, so why try to fit them in one? On today's #thursday #blog, I go over Ellen Brock's four writ… A Good Girl's Guide to Murder released on Netflix last Thursday, and I watched it over two evenings. It's a good, short, self-contained murder mystery with a headstrong young woman looking into the murder of a classmate. The direct and dri… I want to share stories with you. I run a blog for my fiction, but there's very few places I can point you to read said fiction. Yet, at least. So, I want to put stories up on occasion. But there's a big problem with me doing that, and I … ★ 2

About

Speculative mystery writer and game designer. Writes about the #future, #hope, and murder, often in the same story. Here I'm mostly going to be posting about #mystery #writing. I love positive #tech that aims to help the world and not tempt us to exploit the masses. May talk about #games from time to time. One day, I'll make a game designer detective. 🏳️‍🌈 My characters are #queer because I'm queer and I'm not sorry about it. Pronouns are he/him or whatever you want.
