👋 Mimi here, with fun news: My first novel is available for pre-order!
Why it matters: Covering D.C. news this year has been ... a lot, and having this fun side project kept me sane.
State of play: "Murder Bites" follows a woman from D.C. who becomes a social outcast when she moves to a small Southern town obsessed with its designer dogs — and when a canine reality-TV show comes to town and the dog-walker shows up dead, she has to scramble to clear her name.
It's out Aug. 4, 2026, and you can order it via all the bigspots, or — better yet — put in a request at your local D.C. bookstore!
