It's an honorable craft and one you should embrace. Second: read widely in the genre you hope to publish in, both past and current titles. Third: read widely in other genres to flex your reading muscles. Fourth: if possible, designate a single place where you plan to write, whether at a desk, on a couch, in your car, or wherever, and make that your writing spot. Fifth: within reason, choose the time you plan to write, whether early morning, your lunch hour, evenings, or only on weekends (there's no right answer), and try to work during that time every day, even if it means writing just a few sentences. Finally, prepare to play the long game. You're a writer not for months or years but decades. (less)

He's a freelance mailman who delivers almost anything for a price: items, information and sometimes even people. He takes great pride in never having missed a delivery and will do pretty much anything to keep that streak alive. For a sample of his adventures, check out these Carter short stories: "The Mailman," published in "Mickey Finn 21st Century Noir: Vol. I" (2020); "The Delivery," published in "Mickey Finn 21st Century Noir: Vol. III" (2022); and "Back Down to Black," the cover story in "Mystery Magazine" in November 2021.(less)
