Building a newsletter on authortube or booktube I am not a newsletter expert, but I am trying. I am back to trying to build up my own newsletter and wanted to share some thoughts. I am here to tell you that it is not as terrifying as it may seem. In fact I follow two steps. I build the newsletter on Mailchimp and I grow the newsletter with a combination of social media and prolific works. Prolific works is a site that allows readers to download one of your written works by subscribing to your newsletter. Newsletters are important because these are people who are actively buying into your future as a writer. They are following you, or most likely are following you, for your writing alone.

Review: Stalking Jack the Ripper
Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved this book.
I’ll do my best to make this spoiler free.
Plot:
Sort of a Sherlock Holmes style YA mystery set in Victorian era London.
a 1st person POV from young Audrey Rose Wadsworth (who is the Watson) to Thomas’ Sherlock. Together, the two study forensic sciences under Audrey Rose’s uncle and investigate the mysterious and brutal murders in White Chapel.
Characters:
I’m only going to talk about the two main characters:
Audrey Rose is a strong female character who doesn’t surrender her feminity to be strong. She balances the life of a daughter to a wealthy lord with her fascination of forensic sciences while carrying an internal struggle of a difficult family relationship. She has to navigate proper London etiquette in the pursuit of her passion and keep her studies a secret from her overprotective father.
Thomas is an arrogant know it all who can back it up. He’s written in the style of Robert Downey Jr’s portrayal of Sherlock Holmes. He has his moments of being charming, annoying, suspicious, and brilliant. We learn his backstory all at once, but since it was through dialogue it didn’t come across as an info dump.
Writing style:
I found the occupations of the characters to be fascinating and well researched. The prose was direct, with some poetic language woven in (but never overwhelming). I loved that it was 1st person POV it was incredibly important to know what Audrey Rose was thinking at all times. Though the plot was about catching Jack the Ripper, the juicy conflicts were all internal and having access to her thoughts made this story riveting.
I am excited to continue reading this series.
