Books have unexpected origins. The genesis of my 2011 ghost story, THE NIGHT STRANGERS, was the Miracle on the Hudson in 2009. I knew there was a tale to be written about the pilot who WASNโ€™T Sully Sullenberger. A few months later, I was in a dunk tank with naval aviators, researching the novel.

Modeling today #Armenian caps, gifts from my friend, George Terterian. Thank you, George! Two points: 1) Ararat will always be Armenian (AND my license plate) even if the mountain is removed from the Armenian passport stamp. 2) Artsakh will always be Armenian. Always. Now: letโ€™s bring the POWโ€™s home

Further proof that โ€” for me โ€” Trump ruins everything. I can no longer watch Christopher Walken ask Will Ferrell for more cowbell because Epsteinโ€™s pal used โ€œDonโ€™t Fear the Reaperโ€ in a troll video.

They used what was available for free on pirate sites as on 2021.

Yes, 19. That is how many of my books Anthropic used to train its AI model. Thank you, Authors Guild, for publishing the complete list on their brand new settlement page. #ai @doubledaybooks.bsky.social @authorsguild.org

I have no idea. I had fun. But no idea if the students did. Thank you for asking!

Happy to report I got both my Covid and flu shots today. I do every year in early October. So far, I havenโ€™t grown a tail. Good-night. (Also? Release the #Epstein files.)

Trumpโ€™s senior moments:
- He did not end a war between Armenia and Cambodia, because there wasnโ€™t one.
- He did not end a war between Albania and Azerbaijan, because there wasnโ€™t one.
Also, that campaign promise that he would end Russiaโ€™s war against Ukraine โ€œwithin days?โ€ Nope.
