Hilarious to me that continuity is suddenly super important to the franchise.

Cover to the album “The First Days of Spring” by Noah and the Whale

“There's a hope in every new seed
And every flower that grows upon the earth.
And though I love you, and you know that,
Well I no longer know what that's worth.”

Just a reminder that I wrote an Anthony Award nominated pulp thriller that I would love for you all to read.

In 'Pluribus,' isolation is the price of a frictionless life The haunting new show from Vince Gilligan, who created Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is set in Gilligan's now-signature location, Albuquerque.

Pluribus absolutely hums with interesting questions regarding individualism, collective goodwill, and who wins and loses with each. Rhea Seehorn gives a fierce performance.

Thanks, Gabino! I have a novelette included in this banger anthology, available in audio and ebook. 16 long crime stories, like an advent calendar of our worst impulses.

I’m toward the end of Season 3 of The Diplomat and the Big Solution Kate Wyler dreams up for the season’s Big Problem seems so laughably ridiculous, I feel like I must be too dumb to get it.

I didn’t know we were just welding halves of cars together and calling it an RV now. Let me know when there’s a Camry version and I’m down. A Mustang may be more power than I need in a first RV.
