The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

This is very good advice www.instagram.com/reel/DTlSVpQ...

Big congratulations to my friend @jordanharper.bsky.social on his *starred* PW review for A VIOLENT MASTERPIECE: "Razor sharp dialogue & vivid prose conjure an intoxicating atmosphere of glamor & decay.....a glittering neo-noir with staying power." www.publishersweekly.com/9780316458405

I hear a wacky sitcom version of MELANIA is in the works from the creative team behind the UK comedy HEIL HONEY I'M HOME. Word is they will simply retool to the UK scripts to present-day. youtu.be/Pe6hz84_fgU?...

Many thanks to Considering Stories for the detailed review of GATED PREY, the 3rd Eve Ronin novel. "Folks looking for a novel length meal of misery served atop a bed of angst will be left wanting. 'Gated Prey' is a terrific entry in the series." consideringstories.wordpress.com/2026/01/27/e...

Why do I feel like I've seen a dozen movies or TV shows about hitmen who are losing their memory? It's become a cliche.

Congrats to my friend Cara Black on her terrific Wall Street Journal review for HUGETTE. "With its spirited cast of characters, sharply drawn settings and well-maintained suspense, “Huguette” should earn many votes as one of the best historical thrillers of the year." www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

Big congrats to my brother @todgoldberg.bsky.social on the great @wsj.com review for ONLY WAY OUT. "There are echoes in this book of Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, Quentin Tarantino and Donald Westlake, but Mr. Goldberg is master of his own gonzo mix." www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

Many thanks to Best Thriller Books for the great review for MURDER BY DESIGN (6/26). "Lee Goldberg has outdone himself. A murder mystery that demands to be read and will end up being ranked at the top of any serious list extolling the best books of 2026." www.bestthrillerbooks.com/steve-netter...

I haven't heard from a single Fake Author in a couple of weeks now. Maybe Nigerian scammers took the holidays off... or finally realized it's a mistake to try the dumb con on me.

Many thanks to Jeff Ayers and FirstClue for the great review of MURDER BY DESIGN, my new novel coming out in June. "Hilarious and thought-provoking. Goldberg balances the humor and drama to perfection. The second book in this series cannot come fast enough." firstcluereviews.com?p=4848

Some very good advice... whatever.scalzi.com/2025/11/22/y...

Just in case any journalist or editor reading this is tempted to minimize Trump's Reiner post because it's a "showbiz thing" and "real" stories are happening: No. It's a President thing and a decency thing, and if you don't understand that those things are newsworthy, you are failing in your duties.

Trump is never able to be anything other than who he is — even amidst tragedies like Rob Reiner’s death. Cruelty is always the point.

The ravenous, all-consuming narcissism that has rotted the mind of this man requires that every event, every tragedy, every circumstance be ultimately about him. Others in the world do not exist as fully human; they operate only to validate Donald Trump. This is a gross display of mental illness.

Today I talked with the Atomic Abe YouTube channel about all of the attempted Diagnosis Murder spinoffs... www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2ly...

"Crown Vic 2" is the second in a series of short stories/novelettes/novellas from Lee Goldberg. If you're in need of a quick, fun read, this is definitely worth picking up. Can't wait to see more in this series from @leegoldberg.bsky.social #bookreview #bookstagram #kindle #ereader

The Heist by Janet Evanovich & Lee Goldberg - A long con/heisty story - Kate (the FMC) is the muscle while Nick (the MMC) manages to set a fine plate even in a cave - Kate's Dad (ex-black ops) is the best - Boyd the method actor steals every scene -The audiobook well narrated -Hysterical #Booksky

Lee Goldberg did a look-see, and I strongly suggest reading the attached. Writing scammers mean legit editors, agents, and other pros in the business are fighting against pollution of their industry, so it’s always worth our effort to ID scammers.

Open industry secret: most political non-fiction books get purchased by foundations or non-profits to be given out with giftbags at events. 100,000 people aren't buying a book by Lauren Boebert on the future of America. GOP operatives are and giving them away for free as "gifts." BEST SELLER!

I always wanted to be Rob Petrie...and I got to be...writing for Dick Van Dyke on DIAGNOSIS MURDER. I wish Dick a very happy 100th birthday! (That's me & William Rabkin with Dick on the set).
