How do you go from zero readers to thousands of engaged "darlings" who genuinely care about your writing journey? Join me and the Tech Guy as we break down the real strategies behind building an authentic mystery community. We'll share what actually worked (and our spectacular failures), discuss the balance between vulnerability and boundaries, and give you actionable steps for connecting with readers who become true supporters. Whether you're a published author struggling to find your tribe or an aspiring writer wondering how to start building relationships before you even have a book, this episode reveals the practical side of community building that goes way beyond social media follower counts. 😍
