In 2019, I started a Twitter account (@fraudesswrites) because of advice from folks in the writing industry who said it was a terrific resource for researching publishers, a space to hone my craft, and there was a writing community to connect with. It turned out to be true. I've managed to chat with thousands of bookish people on Twitter. Overall, it has been a treat. Still, there is a lot I could do without, like ads, and some of the negative posts or comments that happen. That said, I decided to create a forum and you are all invited.

This will be a place to keep in touch, talk: writing, book news, food, post cute pictures of pets, evangelize animal and environmental conservation, and to have fun. Share your thoughts. Add GIFs, videos, hashtags and more to your posts and comments. Get started by commenting below.
