Typically I read her books in one sitting because I canโ€™t put them down

Ah okay, makes sense!

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 donโ€™t know the rules of Sneeze Club

Itโ€™s hard to find members in good standing who can explain

I hear they donโ€™t 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

Did you guys ever have spaghetti all covered with cheese and then lose your poor meatball when somebody sneezed

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...

Digital illustration. In the background we see Sesame Streetโ€™s 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 (itโ€™s 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 โ€˜Maybe it will happen todayโ€™.

Dang, Iโ€™m not sure what the threshold is, but if you get a post doing a certain number of likes, the bots swarm.

Replies with scams, quote posts with scams, bots just following you in hopes youโ€™ll lead them to more people to scam

You are not, however, *required* to piss yourself, and to my knowledge the book does not actually cause involuntary loss of bladder control, butโ€ฆIโ€™m just now realizing this might have been Steve doing a hyperbole thing

Me to kid: Letโ€™s go to the bog tomorrow! Rare birds have been sighted there!

Kid to partner: Wanna go to the bog?

Partner: Thatโ€™s ok. But say hi to Shrek for me.

Kid: Shrek lived in a swamp, not a bog. Theyโ€™re completely different biomes.

Me: *dies*

Psst. Itโ€™s still on sale. $1.99 in Ebook in North America right now. Perfect time to try out the seriesโ€”if you dig, itโ€™s complete and you can binge it!

Thereโ€™s a copy of the book on the left, a glass of gin & tonic, and a bottle of Hendricks gin on the right in the picture. Caption reads: I can't state how much I loved Ink & Sigil and meeting new characters in a familiar world. Can't wait for more of Al and Buck. I even found some Scottish Gin to enjoy during the read.

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. But I told myself I needed to

I do believe that INK & SIGIL is on sale for $1.99 in Ebook, yโ€™all! Thereโ€™s fountain pen geekery! Hobgoblins! Battle seers! Mad scientists! Secret underground lairs! A protagonist in his sixties! (Couple of reader squees from Instagram below.)

And the trilogy is complete! Begin the binge for cheap!

Went birding with Mom and we got a lesser flycatcher who is actually the GREATEST flycatcherโ€”Iโ€™ll provide proof laterโ€”and then we had a picnic on a table in the shade and got a visit from THIS SPIDER FREN

The 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.
