Today I shared the fourth in a series of trope graphics for The Milverton Mysteries which I’ve had a lot of fun putting together.

Daily Debrief: 22 April 2026

Output

Write: Passengers of the titular steam train dispersed at the lunch stop in Killer on the Kelvin Explorer (The Milverton Mysteries #5)! Today’s writing involved impatient queuing, romantic notions, and a reminder to chew properly.

Share: A trope graphic for Fright on Stage Right (Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky).

Input

Exercise: Another run. Manawatū River still swollen but less so than yesterday.

Watch: Started The Newsreader (Netflix). Drama in a 1980s Australian news room.

Listen: Panic! At The Disco’s Death of a Bachelor (Spotify).

Read: Continued The Beautiful Dead (Cal Nyx Mystery Thriller #1) by Kim Hunt (author website). Reading ahead of our upcoming Mysterious Manawatū panel (blog post).

Social: A coffee and a cheese scone with an author friend at a cafe I haven’t visited in months.
