Top Shelf Editing has created a new writers’ group on Facebook! I know what you’re thinking – there are so many groups for writers on here, why do I need to join another one? Well, this one is slightly different.

𝐴 𝐷𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ 𝑖𝑛 𝑉𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑠 takes you from the casinos of Las Vegas, Nevada to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to the wineries of Sonoma, California.

One night while they are passing through Nebraska beneath a bright Aurora Borealis, they wreck and their prisoner escapes. This is the least of their problems though.
