Twitterific

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig
Twitterific is a compilation of all the writing links I shared the previous week.

Cool news for the WKB this week–Mike has set us up with My WKB–a way for you to list and sort articles, view your read articles, and see your search history. Read more about it here: http://bit.ly/S9thqS . The free My WKB page is here: http://bit.ly/PV8Ueb .

I have a link of my own this week—I was surprised by a Washington Post mention. A pleasant surprise in a few ways, since the Post doesn’t usually focus on cozy mysteries. And it gave me some more books to put on my TBR list. :)

Have a great week!
