Benjamin Stevenson is a fiction crime writer who just happens to be an identical twin and who wrote a book about a crime based in Australia during Christmas in Australia, at a time of the year it doesn't (usually that is) snow, because it's the middle of summer down here at Christmas.
He also has identical twins in this Christmas story, and with today being 'National Twin Day', 'Flake Appreciation Day' as well as 'National Crime Junkie Day' I couldn't help thinking of a panel Ben was on that discussed the ethics of crime writing and the fascination with the general public's consumption of true crime books and podcasts.

From playful mischief to emotional support, their connection runs deep. This special day puts their unique closeness in the spotlight and gives everyone a reason to smile.
It’s not just about having a sibling born on the same day. It’s about sharing every little milestone—first steps, school days, even inside jokes. National Twin Day reminds us how powerful shared moments can be.
It also celebrates the joy twins bring to their families and communities. Their stories are full of laughter, love, and sometimes a bit of confusion!"
"Flake Appreciation Day celebrates the beauty and uniqueness of snowflakes. This special day highlights how each snowflake is a marvel of nature, with no two flakes being exactly alike.
This day encourages people to pause and appreciate these tiny, delicate works of art that fall from the sky, creating a peaceful and enchanting atmosphere."
