It’s at the top of my TBR pile. It should be on yours too.

I’m going out in a limb that Lt. Kinderman is the best part of The Exorcist.

Working on this magazine, I can diminish the greatness of what began as a tweet from a stranger. This is one of the biggest honors I've received & it reminds me that we are thriving & loved. Thank you #IndieLitMagGala 2025, Alan Perry for making my heart swell, and our nominator for bringing me joy.

Brandon Doughty's review of Shitshow 5/5: You know, it’s hard to know what I expected to find based on the title and portable latrine found on the front cover. Kidding, I knew what to expect and Chris Panatier gave me what I wanted in sp...

Not breaking ground saying Chris's (@scribeofhades.bsky.social) new novel SHITSHOW is great, but I'm saying it anyway.

Happy pub day to @allymalinenko.bsky.social and the release of BROKEN DOLLS. Mine shipped today. Looking forward to seeing what’s hidden within this incredible cover. It feels like we’ve been waiting AGES! So excited to get my hands on it.

I’m on a mission to find that OG cover copy of SHE RIDES SHOTGUN. Now they’re all the movie tie-in.

Is there anything less useful than Ted Cruz speaking out on any tragedy? I'm not kidding, my dog took a shit earlier and I'm pretty sure it raised spirits more and had a more important impact than a single callow and feigned indignant word from Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz.

Due to a clerical error we've received numerous reports of nude individuals aggressively assaulted by birds of prey across the US.
No reports of these incidents from anywhere else across the globe thanks to general critical thinking skills no longer found within borders of the US.

Very freaking cool!

Congrats my friend. I’ll have to grab a copy.

Very freaking cool. Congratulations sir! Loved it when I first read it in the Motel anthology.

Looks like it should be used in a film.

Happy birthday to @stephenking.bsky.social thank you for everything you’ve given. You’re the gift to the rest of the world. And everyone go see THE LONG WALK.
Here’s an afar shot when I got to meet him at BookPeople back in 2014.

Dammit I am jealous I couldn’t be there. Congrats to Scott & Maggie and I’m champing at the bit to see it!

How to judge your own work…

A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Same same.

He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time.

Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles.

#StandWithTheSurvivors

This isn't a joke. This statue now resides on the mall in DC. Christians, isn't there something in the book you claim to follow about this type of thing? I mean it's right at the front so it's hard to miss. In fact, Texas and other states are trying to force 9 more of those rules in our schools.

So Disney in their infinite wisdom are capitulating to fascist control of the media and suppression of the 1st Amendment? Because that always leads to more freedom?

Happy pub day to the incredible @meproctor.bsky.social . Congrats on CATCH ME ON A BLUE DAY. I'm excited to see the continuing adventures (misadventures of detective Declan Shaw.

I left it back in Nov of 2024 and these little flashes remind me why.

Just slips in at #5 after all the Carpenter/Russell collabs & Halloween.

Cat's Fight - The Yard: Crime Blog A woman realizes her husband is cheating. She takes an unexpected opportunity for justice.

I am happy to share that my short story “Cat’s Fight,” has just been published at The Yard: Crime Blog. Please check it out.

It sat for 20 years with me terrified to read my own writing for fear I would hate it. I didn’t, thankfully.

I hope you enjoy it.

THE LONG WALK is amazing and tremendous. But I sobbed multiple times throughout. Maybe I’m a bit overly emotional or maybe its content is just so RIGHT for the America we suffer in right now; but it is a brilliant, brutal watch.

OMG, it’s the motherlode!
