Same! Here's the one in my book

I've got a fake Dan Brown after me. He's oddly persistent.

How about the case for minding our own damn business.

I read this a couple of years ago, part of a three-fer of Stark House reprints. It's not great, but the part where Ferron disposes of Lydia's body in the lake is actually pretty decent. Unfortunately, that's the book's high point.

see what you did there

A stack of mostly crime fiction novels and some non-fiction to keep me honest.

A TBR so good I hardly know where to start. And yes, if you would like to receive a Japanese woodblock print note card, I will definitely send you one.

You're such a pussy!
You are!

Nothing prepares you for how weird this feels.

Cool read, man! Congrats!

Somebody at the Umberto Eco Estate: Man, we just got the weirdest royalty payment.

It's from all that poker playing

No, son, it'll be fine. Low water levels are for poor people.

Wait, I thought catcalling was wrong?

Grandma's back in the weed gummies.

I'll take Mad Men over any of those damn shows.

A display of books, including mine, at the Library of Virginia's bookshop.

My pulpy historical noir, Turnpike Confidential, is on display in the Library of Virginia bookstore, part of the "House to Highway" exhibit that runs until Feb. 28, 2026. Alongside more respectable fare, of course...

Third-grader hip to the duality of man.

Scammers, I do appreciate your need to sell me overpriced services I don't need. But in the future, please take a moment to make sure you get the title of my book right.
