That's so cool. Amazing.

Me: I'm not watching anything on Netflix. Maybe it's time to cancel.

Peak cinema.

Just watched a 5 hour documentary on Billy Joel. Worth it.

Django bleps in your direction.

The original owners used the back room as a workshop. Which collected old tools and unfinished projects even after they passed about a decade ago. Not even cleaned out by the tenants who rented before. Mostly junk, but I found this ratchet screwdriver. Reminds me of my great-uncle, the tinkerer.

How to make me feel old. 15 years ago the greatest tragedy when TERRIERS was cancelled and became an instant cult classic. FX should have promoted it better. Imagine 5 years of TERRIERS and JUSTIFIED, both debuting 2010.

One month away till BoucherCon New Orleans. If you're attending, I would love to meet you and finagle you into voting for my novel to win an Anthony Award. 😏

My chiari is in rare form this morning. Kill me.

Since I don't have a theater within 3 hrs drive showing SHE RIDES SHOTGUN I think I'll pick up a new copy of the book and give it a reread...

Well ain't that the shit...

One would hope gold wouldn't fall for this... But really. That's some BS.

A row of AI-generated covers for bootleg SHE RIDES SHOTGUN novels for sale on Amazon.

If you search for "She Rides Shotgun" on Amazon right now, instead of my novel you get a row of AI-generated bootlegs. Man you just can't win in hellworld. (Don't buy my book from Amazon anyway, but also fuck these slop-peddlers to the moon).

I've read at least a half-dozen books on the murder of Elizabeth Short. This is by far the most trustworthy. It offers no grand theory. Instead, it does important work at busting myths & exposing the brutal misogyny that has always dominated the story.

Wanksy strikes again.

So why did they reuse the Blood Run/Outside the Law cover for Crisis? Out was it just another release title?
