Don’t you just love getting emails telling us we’ve been mentioned? These alerts (which you set up) provide updates on the latest and most relevant mentions on the web. They come from many sources like Google, TalkWalker, Stumbleupon, or other analytic feeds.

It’s exciting to see these alerts come across my feed or into my inbox. My words are getting noticed, my blog read and shared with others.

If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you know my stories lean toward the dark side. I’m unashamedly addicted to crime fiction, but even I was surprised when I received this Google Alert, yesterday.

I imagine those of you familiar with my writings raised a brow at the title of this little nugget. It certainly caught my attention, but in spite of what my husband implies about my potential, I do not know 365 ways to kill him, and I’ve never harmed a flea – ok, maybe a flea.

It just goes to show you, the things you read on the web are not always what they seem, and I swear to you –  I am not the “Suitcase Killer.”

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the subject. Join the conversation. Talk to me or tell me your story. I’m all ears.
