Thank you to SinC Toronto for hosting me and to @l Thank you to SinC Toronto for hosting me and to @loritwining for this fun photo from tonight’s event! 💜 
I love talking shop and I guess it shows. 

Posted @withregram • @loritwining At our Sisters In Crime ZOOM meeting tonight, author Sandra SG Wong hosted an “Ask Me Anything" session, which the members really appreciated. Sandra had honest answers to all the questions about her books, her writing process, her experience with traditional vs. self-publishing, and about the business and marketing of writing and publishing a novel.

Sandra SG Wong's "In the Dark We Forget" is a jolting psychological suspense novel about missing parents, a winning lottery ticket, and the lies we tell ourselves in order to survive. 

If you are looking for a pulse-pounding story about the complexities of family, woven with the confusion of amnesia, painful memories, harrowing nightmares, and a basket full of lies, then, you might want to add this book to your reading list. ❤️

Posted @withregram • @lisabush_writer Favourite reads of February… 

The Vanishing Half by @britrbennett is one of the best examples of storytelling I've read in a long, long time. It's the sort of book that grabs you, pulls you in, and leaves you breathless. I fell in love with the characters; I fell in love with Bennett's storytelling. Beautiful.

The Woman in the Library by @sularigentill is a mystery writer's dream book. 🤚🏻 Not only is there a gripping, keep you up until 2 am, flipping the pages of mystery BUT there's also a second narrative that is critiquing the mystery which is actually a manuscript in process. So there's a mystery and there's talk of craft, writing, and writing trends (stuff of my dreams). Plus a delicious plot twist. Thanks to @je_barnard for the IG recommendation!

In The Dark We Forget by @sgwong8 is a classic psychological thriller with a short-tempered, strong female protagonist that I loved right from the start. AND it takes place in Canada. ❤️ Wong not only delivers a gripping thriller but also explores the complexity of family dynamics and cultural nuances of Canadian society that are too often omitted from mystery/thriller genres. 

So… What are you currently reading??? 

(and preferably loving though it's also interesting to hear about meh reads as well…)

Posted @withregram • @my_year.in_books Book 8 IN THE DARK WE FORGET by @sgwong8.

A complex and intense story highlighting the difficulty victims of crime have especially those of different ethnicities. 
Cleo finds herself in a scary situation with amnesia and has to solve mysteries while trying to regain the memories she's lost. A great read.
