I would totally go to this. YOU should totally go to this. But if you're like me, and way too far away, you can find his short stories lots of places like the ones below.

Bobby wrote a couple of my favourite crime novels of this century!

If you're in the #BHM β€” that's Birmingham, Ala-damn-bama β€” area on October 19, I'll be reading some of my short fiction and talking about what inspires me in this city. Come see me at the Hoover Public Library! Event is free and open to the public. :-)

REMINDER: Black women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period.

White men saw the largest job increase δΈ€ 365,001* δΈ€ among groups

And in MORE good news, I have struggled with some advice that my agent, the awesome @zhoney.bsky.social, gave me on the next book. Yesterday a.m., the path to taking that advice finally clicked for me, and I ended up doing a major rewrite.

That was a hell of a good feeling.

I've been having some health struggles in recent months that I haven't talked about on here ... some of it seems to be looking up. Keep your fingers crossed, y'all.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

RIP to a great actor and watch "All the President's Men" this week/end if you want to remember what it was like back when the Washington Post did real journalism

Stumptown was really good.

But I gotta rep Terriers and Firefly.
