It occurs to me that we may have strayed a bit from the original post that Delilah has a rad new book out today that I need to go buy
Wait
Do Sneeze Club members go to the buffet, duck under the sneeze guard, and unload a full lung payload onto the mixed green salad
I donโt know the rules of Sneeze Club
Itโs hard to find members in good standing who can explain
I hear they donโt live long
Oh that would be so dire. Like if you managed to launch a phlegm globber instead of just invisible disease-laden virus droplets you would pretty much slay everyone

05.08.2025 13:49 โ ๐ 17 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Heck yeah letโs ride!!!
We can save the die part for much later
The book RIDE OR DIE is pictured against Delilah's bookshelf. It features a roller coaster on a broken track rolling into a skull cloud and was created by Matt Ryan Tobin. It's got 80s/90s vibes, and you should definitely pick it up today. p.s. There is a ghost crocodile. Don't you love ghost crocodiles? I think we all do.
Out today: my next MG Horror, Ride or Die! Set in an abandoned amusement park and featuring a main character who just wants to be cool for one day, it really hits a lot of my childhood fears. Available wherever books are sold or available to borrow! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/703249...

In the background we see Sesame Streetโs Big Bird with a kiffiyeh scarf around his neck running to the left of frame holding a pole from which waves a black flag with a white antifascist symbol on it. In the foreground is a furry blue muppet with a bulbous pink nose who is otherwise unidentifiable because he has a black bandana around his mouth (itโs Grover) who is preparing to throw a Molotov cocktail. In the flames flowing from the rag in the neck of the bottle can be read the words โMaybe it will happen todayโ.

On a silver service tray we see a copy of the book, a glass of whisky on the rocks, a black feather pen, a knife, and a deck of Tarot cards. Caption from bryttknee is partial in the screenshot, but it says: Picked up a new book today. I saw it last week when I went in and picked it up and read the description.

01.08.2025 22:12 โ ๐ 97 ๐ 3 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The sweetest email from a reader: Have you thought about turning your series into a TV show?
Heck. Yes.
TV shows are just long commercials for your books! Fair to say most (if not all) writers would like a TV show of their work.
Alas, producers have to make it happen. All I can do is write.
