Your monthly reminder:

Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write.

Just heard β€œYou’re Beautiful” by James Blunt on the radio for the first time in years and realized… this is literally Joe Goldberg’s theme song.
β€œShe smiled at me on the subway… but I won’t lose no sleep on that, 'cause I’ve got a plan.”
Sir?? πŸš©πŸ‘€

Books I’m Excited About This Week Dark Familial Ties, Twisted Secrets, and a Novella That Haunts

I just launched my Substack!

If you're into twisty thrillers, haunting mysteries, and fiction that lingers long after the last page, I’ll be sharing books I love, behind-the-scenes peeks into my writing life, and whatever else is keeping me up at night.

Simon & Schuster imprint will no longer ask authors to obtain blurbs for their books Publisher says expecting authors, agents and editors to secure blurbs can create β€˜an incestuous and unmeritocratic literary ecosystem that often rewards connections over talent’

β€œI believe the insistence on blurbs has become incredibly damaging to what should be our industry’s ultimate goal: producing books of the highest possible quality.” β€”https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/jan/31/simon-schuster-us-imprint-authors-blurbs-books

I just saw there’s a documentary out on Prime about the scandalous history of Lisa Frank. Can someone watch it and let me know on a scale of 1 to 5 how much it’ll ruin my childhood? Thx.

I recently finished reading "What Still Burns" by @ellegrawl.bsky.social An interesting mystery set in Northern California. I enjoyed it. Interesting characters. Enough suspense and intrigue to keep me hooked but not so much that I felt worn out. I recommended it to my wife, who is now enjoying it.
