I'm thrilled to be sitting down with Henry Wise, author of HOLY CITY. This book catches fire. It has been nominated for an Edgar Award as best debut novel, and is catching all kinds of well-deserved buzz. If you're in the area on March 8, stop by. We'll be talking all things crime writing.

I think it depends on the book. Sometimes, if the first couple chapters don't pull me in, I put it down for a bit and try to go back to it later. The longest I've hung in there without finishing was halfway and realized I didn't care how it ended, and I didn't like the characters.

My short story, "Burned," appears in Mickey Finn: 21st Century Noir, Vol. 5. So happy to share space with great crime writers. The Kindle version can be pre-ordered NOW on Amazon. Previous volumes of this anthology are pretty good, too!

One Day is wonderful. Heartbreaking, but wonderful.

I completely agree. If it entertained me and I finished it, why wouldn't I give it 5b stars?

What a great mix! Devil's Chew Toy was such a fun mystery. Enjoy!

I never count. I just read. But I think it could be a good conversation starter with other bookworms.

I've had this same thought, and was considering making it a point to share what I've been reading with little mini-reviews.

Is anyone free to do an interview for an NBC News article about leaving Twitter for Bluesky? Looking for non-journalists who can talk briefly over the phone sometime in the next five hours! First + last name preferred, looking for a mix of people who just joined or have been here for a while!

I kind of love that they just went all in on their interest in this one room. Good for them, embrace your weird. But maybe change it up before selling?
