Contact Info michellegodardricherauthor.w… via @MGodardRicher Hi Michelle. We met at Bouchercon. I hope you had a good conference! I wondered if you'd be willing to chat with me about Next Chapter. I'd be interested in knowing about your experience with them. paddyhirsch at gmail
I asked ChatGPT5 to read my manuscript and tell me what the author comps for the book might be. It's been reading for 48 hours now, and it's only half way through the novel. So much for the warp-speed productivity of AI. Of course it could be my writing!

I'm not a huge Go Fund Me person, and I'm aware that there are plenty of scams out there, but I can personally vouch for this man, and attest to his courage and selflessness on the day the Palisades fire started. He could use a little help. Please share. gofundme.com/f/support-daren…

Interest rates are often big news events. But how can journalists report on them accurately and contextualize them for their audience?
In this week's Finance 411, in partnership with @NEFE_ORG, @paddyhirsch details how to report on interest rates: buff.ly/3vcHAov
I’m tempted to use some devastatingly witty banter to comment on this book. Instead I’ll just say it’s hilarious. And bang on target. Congratulations @maxdickins

359 years and still hoofing.
For 359 years the #RoyalMarines have stood ready to answer the call. To protect our nation, maintaining our place at the pinnacle of UK defence.
We stand united. Ready to fight wherever we're needed. Happy birthday, Royals.

For investors, the US Treasuries market has "been like taking a nervous cat on a roller coaster ride."
U.S. government bonds have long been seen as a safe place for investors. But, that slow, steady ride has become much more bumpy recently.
