Coming February 15, the long-awaited next chapter of Bricks & Cam Jobs! Two novellas in one book -- @ericbeetner.bsky.social's THE JUSTICE LIST finds Cam back to his old Slaughterhouse ways in hilarious fashion, while my own THE DELIVERY LIST features Bricks in an unfamiliar role - protector.

I know I’m late to the party on this, but I finally read The Last Few Miles of Road by @ericbeetner.bsky.social and I loved it. A really well-crafted story with a fresh plot and characters that stick with you. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that was this much fun and had this much heart.

Lots of people out there making fun of the Rapture crowd, but just think of how much the world would improve overnight if all those fools just vanished?

I'm thrilled to be a part of a new Substack featuring humorous essays about writing, life, the writing life, life while not writing, life while procrastinating from writing and other musings. The first batch of essays are up and free to read. Go check them out. writersblockparty.substack.com

It's way too much of my face, but nice to be profiled in Voyage LA about my creative life. voyagela.com/interview/co... Beetner

Last night in New York and I didn’t want to just sit in my room so I went out looking for something to do late night in NYC. I found something to do

💙💙💙

Let's all take a moment to read the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. It's only one sentence.

One week from tonight come on out and see the documentary I cut all about the making of one of the wildest cult films of the 90s. AND we're showing the original (unrated) film. TICKETS: ticketing.uswest.veezi.com/purchase/614...

Had one of those 'shoot your shot' days on a very longshot project. But hey, nice to even be having those conversations. Love it when people notice the work.

Guys, there is literally footage of the guy surrounded by people in chicken suits. This TACO thing could be a huge blow to his ego. Have at it, internet. Bring on the memes! The mockery! You don’t even have to photoshop it!

Screening Friday June 13th is the documentary I cut about the making of Jason Goes To Hell, along with the original 1993 film. Come out and see it on the big screen! ticketing.uswest.veezi.com/purchase/614...

Sooooooo close to 50 reviews! Who's gonna be the one to put it over the top?

Added the newest to my stack of anthologies I’ve been published in. Sad thing is, this isn’t even all of them. Some are ebook only, some never sent contributor copies. So imagine 4 more…

Hilarious. @ericbeetner.bsky.social crushes it here on The Writer's Dossier Podcast. Catch the full episode on Spotify, Apple, or wherever. spoti.fi/4lQulzg apple.co/447D1e8

My boy chillin’ on the couch. I thought you all should see him. For obvious reasons

Love going out for Independent Bookstore Day and seeing my books on the shelf. Only thing better is if they all sell today!

Happy Indie Bookstore Day to all who celebrate!! If you need a great reason to come pick up a new murder mystery, this is your chance… We’ll be here til 7 with some special deals for this special occasion.

New blood on the panel for Thrillerfest. Really looking forward to this

Just recorded an episode of The Writer's Dossier podcast with the award-nominated @ericbeetner.bsky.social, and he was a blast. Check out his latest novel, THE LAST FEW MILES OF ROAD. Beetner really has something here with this series. ericbeetner.com | thewritersdossier.com

Excited for Thrillerfest coming up in June. This panel will be great fun too, with 5 fantastic - and award-nominated - authors. Hope to see friends in NYC and make some new ones.

Got another rejection this morning on a short story. I'm batting 0.00% on horror stories. Think it's maybe time to give up trying to cross genres. Just not my thing, apparently. But they were nice about it. Said it made the short list to I don't know. Ah, well. Onward!

You almost forgot, didn't you? It's ok. There's a lot going on right now. But don't forget to read it. Don't forget to review it. Don't forget to tell a friend about it. And don't forget to read the new sequel, Real Bad, Real Soon.

Yes, it is

Big crowd here in South Bay LA

When is the first Democrat going to introduce legislation to prevent U.S. taxpayers from footing the bill for a President’s golf outings?

Let's just pop on over to the ol' IRA account and see how the week is going.....OH DEAR GOD! (actual photo of my account this week)

Take that Strom Thurmond, you racist fuck.

A quick scan of major news sites & only 1 has Booker at the top of the page. What more does a guy have to do? I really want him to break Strom Thurmond's record if only because that record was to BLOCK PASSAGE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT I want ST looking up from Hell & see a black man break his record

I support Trans rights because I know Trans people, I know parents of Trans kids, because Trans people deserve happiness, because whether or not someone is Trans is not my business, and because I'm not an asshole. It's that simple.

🚨 New Release! 🚨 #REALBADREALSOON by @ericbeetner.bsky.social is here! 🔥📚 In this second Carter McCoy thriller, Carter, with his loyal dog Chester, hunts down a true monster. Get ready for a wild ride! 💥🐾 Order now: www.amazon.com/Real-Bad-Soo...

Oh, no! This one hits hard. One of my favorite writers and a true gentleman connachttribune.ie/death-of-gal...

REAL BAD, REAL SOON by @ericbeetner.bsky.social bookshop.org/p/books/real...

Go, go, go! The bid for a character name in the final Carter McCoy book is still low. Let’s get that higher and add to this impressive total.
