Reviewed the new Slow Horses novel for the Washington Post by an up-and-coming writer named Mick Herron. I think this kid will do well for himself! wapo.st/3JRl5we

This made me cry. In just 600 words, this story touches on so many of the things I've been thinking about as a parent living in the US. All the meanings of war, all the gardens that have become cemeteries. "How To Talk To Your Children About War" by @eaaymar.bsky.social in @smokelong.bsky.social

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

The University of Chicago will not be admitting new PhD students in English, nor in almost any humanities field, this year. What a loss to our discipline! What a disservice to talented students everywhere!

We don’t use ringtones anymore, but if we did, my ringtone would be Wade Barrett shouting “El Grande Americano esta aqui!” on Monday Night Raw.

Even as an admitted Marvel stan, I still can’t get over how much I loved the new Superman. Even after seeing it a month ago. They did such a great job with the character.

It is so cool to see engaging, fun Superman and Fantastic Four movie released within weeks of each other. SUCK IT SCORSESE (I know you’re reading this).

we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history

I have a new story out!! reckonreview.com/the-first-tr...

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

This Wednesday I'm talking about getting your first 50 pages in shape. Be there or...be doing something else equally fun! symposium.pipelineartists.com/event/beyond...

Back in the Washington Post with a review of Holly Jackson’s first book for adults, which has the kind of premise writers envy: a woman has a week to solve her own murder. www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

If you only judged by the Emmy nominations, you’d assume that maybe 10 shows air every year.

A new issue of Crime Fiction Revolution went out yesterday, and I made sure that a certain web site never ever gives me a favorable review. I’m good with that. buttondown.com/eaymar/archi...

Thanks @wcp.bsky.social for letting me interview rapper Ruby Ibarra (winner of the @npr.org 2025 Tiny Desk Contest! It was life to talk to with someone I've admired for so long, who represents the immigrant experience fearlessly. I didn’t come off as cool. washingtoncitypaper.com/article/7677...

If you're being snarky about children drowning in a flash flood what the fuck is wrong with you

David Suzuki telling it like it is, whew.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

Call me crazy, but my idea of making America great involves a lot fewer kidnappings and concentration camps.

I really thought that the Republicans in the Senate were going to step up and do the right thing, because I was standing near an oil derrick when it exploded and an iron spike lodged in my skull so I can’t remember anything that happened before 6 minutes ago.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

New issue of Crime Fiction Revolution just dropped! I tell you all the gossip I heard at ThrillerFest this weekend and promised I’d keep to myself and Rob Hart took some time, on the eve of the Medusa Protocol coming out, to talk about his best moment in publishing. buttondown.com/eaymar/archi...

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

I'm excited to partner with my amazing local indie, @kewandwillow.bsky.social, to launch my very own little webstore - you can buy pretty much any of my books directly from K&W, and I'll happily sign them! Just note at checkout you'd like it signed. kewandwillow.com/list/alex-se...

Great interview with @hsmithwrites.bsky.social and @jonmcgoran.bsky.social in @wirobooks.bsky.social today! www.washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/features/an-...

If you're a fan of two writers who bicker like siblings, dissing of Eagles fans, and books about cults, then check out me and Tara Laskowski in the Washington Post! We had a "conversation" about 2 cult-themes books, what worked, what didn’t, and why I’m right. www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/0...

There's still time to register for today's webinar at 1 pm ET, "The Why's and Hows of an Author's Newsletter!" Come join me and Vera and James and Andi as we discuss how to build your authorly newsletter and make so much money that you can retire early! www.ticketleap.events/tickets/ches...

Working on a story about LAPD's tactics and use-of-force during protests in the past week. If you've been out there, or injured by a horse, rubber round, etc., feel free to DM me. Would love to hear about your experience.

One nice thing? The Noir at the Bar tomorrow night at One More Page Books & More is sold out! Full crowd expected! This is good. I need my people.

Happy pub day to @blacktopkid.bsky.social !!! Looking forward to diving in!

All of L.A. is not a ‘war zone.’ We separate facts from spin and disinformation amid immigration raids, protests throughout the city. Latest w/ @karenmg.bsky.social @tarantulaarms.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

I, like other primary care providers, have the entire vaccine regimens recommended memorized. It's what we do every day. We won't forget them over the next few years. So go to the providers you trust. Ask us your questions and advice on vaccines and we will do our best to help you.

I’m putting together questions for this newsletter webinar next Saturday. Any newsletter questions you’d like to ask? Aside from, why do this to yourself and give yourself more work? www.ticketleap.events/tickets/ches...

"He's not afraid of the moment. He is the moment." Looks like Tyrese Halliburton just got himself a nickname.

@robwhart.bsky.social writes a really good newsletter (and also a really good book). This issue, about how to best sell books, should be given to every writer after they sign a publishing deal. robwhart.substack.com/p/how-do-you...

Next Thursday 6/12 at 6:30pm, join us for an evening of libations, readings, and short stories with a cavalcade of illustrious local mystery writers. In anticipation of this amazing evening, we are highlighting each of our guest authors, starting with our host, @eaaymar.bsky.social.

The story is so great
