Wow, wow, wow. I just finished Shitshow by @scribeofhades.bsky.social and it really is something special. If you read one book this fall, make it this one.

Don’t forget to request your favorite books to be ordered for your local library if they don’t have them. I just put in requests for some today! It’s an easy way to support your favorite authors!

Every time I see this sign I can’t help but think of @joe-hill.bsky.social short story β€œMums.” If you haven’t read it, you’re missing out.

Blackstone Publishing chose the incredible John Pirhalla to narrate the audiobook version of VEIL (only four days away!). John has been nominated for Audie Awards three years in a row (including Male Narrator of the Year). This is going to be extraordinary!

Coffin Moon is out today.

Thanks to everyone that's reviewed the book, preordered it, told their friends about it. We had a sold out event at Hollywood Theatre last night, and Broadway Books sold every single copy of Coffin Moon they'd brought. I'm so lucky. Thank you all.

@scribeofhades.bsky.social I’ve only just recently discovered you via Talking Scared & have just become enamored with you. Is that weird? Your personality is healing to me. I’ve had the worst couple weeks & have been depressed & putting on a podcast you’re on makes me feel better & keeps me going.
