Hello!
Welcome to my Substack!
What happens when an award-winning historical mystery author, a popular newsletter composer, and a successful blogger with a dry humor and a thirst for revenge walk into a tea room?
They build a Substack, that’s what. ☕️
You could say I was born this way.
I’ve got a website that I love over at JolieTunnell.com 📚 and (after years investigating all the things), I still dabble in Facebook and Instagram.
But.
I’ve found the perfect party venue right here. With Substack, I can…
Gather and entertain readers without internet noise
Create video, audio, and livestream events
Compose, share, and archive newsletters
Chat directly with readers and take feedback Comments
Invite exchanges with other authors
Design and systemize new writing ventures as we go
Which brings me to the best part!
I send out three emails to Subscribers. Two are free forever:
🌴 A Gobsmacked Newsletter (third Thursdays)
🧩 Your Monthly Puzzler (first Thursdays)
*I also drop random ✍️ Author Notes directly into the Archive and do not plan to send as emails. These are things I consider important, like resources for writers or insights for readers that don’t fit into our regular missives. Private notes for insiders like you.
The third email I send becomes a paid subscription in April:
🔎 The Dark Alley Detectives (every Saturday)
I’m beginning my next historical mystery series this year and paid subscribers are invited along for the ride. Research and plotting are already underway as I craft a serialized book set in 1914 Los Angeles, California. Readers will immediately recognize our heroine from her role in the Idyllwild Mystery series.
But first, I’ll place a novella into the section for everyone to experience free. How else will you know if you like it? 🤷♀️
Visit The Dark Alley Detectives section right now on my Home page and read the entire mystery, Boston Burglar, any time. Decide if you love the smooth reading experience. If you enjoy telling the author your opinions right to her face as you read. Whether it whets your appetite for what comes next.
But I want more for this next series. Much more.
A reading and a writing experience a normal book can’t replicate! Weekly chapters mean I can include photos, maps, ciphers, graphics, or interactive clues for you to enjoy along the way. I can hop on with a live stream and tell you how the creative process is going from the other side as I modify, try new things, and write this draft.
A month of fun for the price of a coffee—as exciting as caffeine and longer lasting—and just like that, you’ll be funding my next book.
THANK YOU.
And you were there first.
