Carmela Dutra is a writer from the Bay Area who loves food trucks, family, and cozy mysteries. Her debut, A Murder Most Fowl, has been praised by Kirkus Reviews for its “serious set of crimes leavened by plenty of amusing moments,” by Criminal Element for the “juicy reasoning behind the sabotage that was almost as shocking as the murder itself,” and described as “the perfect escapist read, brimming with banter and an extra helping of fun” by New York Times bestselling author Ellery Adams. She has also been featured in CrimeReads Magazine. A lover of humor, quirky characters, and all things geeky, Carmela spends her days sketching, sipping far too much coffee, and over-cuddling her allergy-inducing cats and dog. She lives with her husband and two dinosaur-obsessed sons, drawing inspiration from rainy afternoons, bustling farmers’ markets, and the unexpected moments that make life memorable.  Carmela's Website: CarmelaDutra.com The blog post about querying we spoke about: https://carmeladutra.com/blog/f/an-authors-guide-to-querying-getting-started https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2330108/carmela-dutra/ Sign up for her newsletter: https://carmeladutra.com/newsletter https://www.instagram.com/authorcarmela https://www.facebook.com/AuthorCarmelaDutra/ Grab a Coffee & Say Hello Support the show Support the Show & Connect with Kelli: Follow Moms Who Create on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momswhocreatepodcastVisit the podcast website: Moms Who CreateLove the show?

This week I sent out the monthly newsletter, and I felt the urge to include some scripture. So if you aren’t subscribed, it was a list of 6 Bible verses to give you a bit of encouragement and purpose on your creative journey. I’ve been following the Bible reading plan daily this year after finding one I loved that a friend recommended to me. It’s called The Bible Recap with Tara-Leigh Cobb. I also believe it’s a podcast, too. It’s been really awesome diving into the scriptures as I’m studying it and reading it all chronologically this year. God is, literally, the ultimate Creator. and He made us in His image. That means He designed us to be creative too, right?! Think about it that way. So today, I want to share some verses that will remind you of your purpose, your strength, and the encouragement we have in Christ as we create. Grab a pen and paper and let’s get started.  The Art of Motherhood NewsletterA fun, creative newsletter for moms who love books, art, and making things. Get personal updates, creative prompts, bookish chats, and a little encouragement—plus coffee talk, of course. ​ Subscribe and hang out with me! ☕✨ Tap/click here: https://momswhocreate.kit.com/a7bb802694 Grab a Coffee & Say Hello Support the show Support the Show & Connect with Kelli: Follow Moms Who Create on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momswhocreatepodcastVisit the podcast website: Moms Who CreateLove the show?
