Hey fellow crime nerds... might be hitting some stores for the THREE HITMEN AND A BABY release in June... who else has books coming out around then that might want to team up? Will depend on timing and the willingness of my publisher to shell out some dough, but we can see...
I drink my coffee black and my whiskey on the rocks, I cannot stand people who get to the front of a line and don't know what they want... and even I think this is some dumb-dumb cry-baby bullshit.
I have decided to darken AWP’s doorstep this weekend. Gonna be in Baltimore and want to make some questionable decisions? Hit me up.
Oh hey look at that! DETOUR sale!
Menty B?!? What even is that???
Such a great store! We love them!
I nominate this man as King of the Himbos.
Which is a little funny when you think about it because Charlie Kirk was, in fact, very very racist.
(Kidding it's not funny at all it's dumb and terrible)
That was a fun day.
Shifted my lifting days this week and was thrilled to see the gym so empty on a Sunday and then a woman stopped me IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY SET to ask if another machine, one that I was NOT using, was free. I stopped the set because I thought it was an emergency. IT WAS NOT.
So. No more Sundays.
I actually kinda buy this because I could see both of these dunces utterly failing at the simple act of high-fiving.
OH MY GOD
Yay!
I have two goals tonight: watch Bad Bunny make a bunch of dumb people mad, and watch the Pats lose. Only one of these things is guaranteed so I have my fingers crossed.
😍
It's behind a paywall but Library Journal said this of THREE HITMEN AND A BABY:
"Ridiculously funny and surprisingly touching... The best of the series so far. Both newcomers and returning readers will root for these former assassins as they try to reform themselves."
Good start to the day.
Not gonna post the thing I want to post but tonight is the kind of night where there’s a thing I want to post.
GO AND SEE ALEX!!!
I would like to petition for a rule at the gym that if you attempt to do more than three sets on a given piece of equipment or mess around on your phone too long you get a mild electric shock.
I'm spending National Shutdown Day by remembering what David Mitchell wrote in CLOUD ATLAS: "What is an ocean but a multitude of drops?"
I'm participating in today's general strike by not doing any of my own work. I've got the privilege of being my own boss so I'm not really missing much, but I would like to take this opportunity to say loud and clear:
Fuck ICE.
Check out the @writersdigest.bsky.social virtual novel writing conference starting today! There's a great lineup of instructors... including me!
DETOUR by #JeffRake and @robwhart.bsky.social is one helluva series debut, detailing a space mission taken by six astronauts…only to have their world be a little off after returning home. Shifting POV’s with phenomenal characterization, doling out bits of mystery along the way. Recommended.
I can now officially share the cover for ALL WE HIDE, which introduces Lauren Kelly, a trans detective working for the DA’s Office who takes on the twisty, poignant cold case murder of a local trans woman. @sohopress.bsky.social
Available 8.4.2026. Pre-order now wherever books are sold.
I don't like it. I love it. Get yourself geared up. Hydrate. Do some stretches. You're not ready.
PHILLY! Join me and Jeff Rake for the final stop on the DETOUR tour, tonight!
Hey Staten Island--this is TOMORROW!
