Stevie Bell had a simple desire: she wanted to be standing over a dead body.
She didn’t want to kill people– far from it. She wanted to be the person who found out why the body was dead, that’s all. She wanted bags marked EVIDENCE and a paper boiler suit like forensics wore. She wanted to be in the interrogation room. She wanted to get to the bottom of the case.

Hello.
Perhaps you have heard of this book TRULY DEVIOUS? Perhaps you thought, “Maybe this MYSTERY NOVEL is for me, but now is not the time! NOT THE TIME! I am busy building the MACHINE and do not have time for BOOKS!”
Well.
Right now, TRULY DEVIOUS is available on Kindle for $1.99. Even if you are in your LABORATORY, perhaps you would like to pick up a copy for POST-INVENTION READING?
It is $1.99.
If you want it.
*thunderclap*

“They’re not angels,” Stevie said. They’re sphinxes. They’re mystical creatures that ask you riddles before you’re allowed to enter a place. If you get it wrong, they eat you. Lake from Oedipus. The Riddle of the Sphinx. That’s a Sphinx.” “Not to be confused with Spanx, which is a sidearm in the holster of a diet industrial complex.” Maureen Johnson, “Truly Devious”
Love this book

I wrote the first book and then I forgot how to write. It used to be that I would sit and write and I would go into some other world–I could see it all. I was totally in another place. But the second it became something I had to do, something in me broke. It’s like I used to know the way to some magical land and I lost the map. I hate myself.

I’m not saying I relate to this, of course. I just wrote it.

A TALE OF TWO MAPS
When I was working on Truly Devious, I realized it very much needed a map. Where the crimes happened, how they happened...the locations of things really MATTER in this book. So this is the original sketch I sent:
Somehow, after much back and forth and my edits and tweaks and changes, this is what resulted:
And if that is not magic, I don’t know what is. LOOK CLOSELY, FOR IT CONTAINS CLUES.
TRULY DEVIOUS is out on TUESDAY, JANUARY 16th. That’s NEXT WEEK!
