As this wild weekend of holiday shopping approaches, don't forget to visit your local bookseller and purchase an incredible amount of books. BE WARNED. Being mean to an indie bookseller this weekend results in an ancient curse that renders you unable to write a synopsis.

Damn. I'm legit at the halfway point of Kathleen Donnelly's HUNTING THE TRUTH and if you like a kickass heroine, Maya Thompson's your Huckleberry. DAMN. PS - unless you have an advanced copy like moi, you're gonna have to wait 'til Tuesday. #amreading #kickassfemaleprotagonist

Pootsie and I are excited to be part of Kathleen Donnelly 's "pawsome crew." HUNTING THE TRUTH is out later this month from Carina Press!

Temporary office and quick edits between appointments and meetings today.

I need to refill my ☕, but the cat is snuggling with me. I am a heartless coffee addict, but even I have my limits. #sundaymorning #catmom

Today is going to be heavy for reasons involving me, my dad, & a motorcycle rally. (LOL.) But on the bright side, I have Dave Grohl for a 4 hour drive and will get to do a little book research. #keepgriefweird #amlistening #roadtrip #noiamnotridingamotorcycle

Coffee stop. Brain dump. I'm listening to Dave Grohl's book on my drive back from Madison and needed to stop, caffienate, & jot some thoughts down.

I had the chance to meet Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1999 because I sneaked backstage, but totally froze into a statue of myself.

Hey, your boy wrote a piece for Esquire! Come read about a list that was almost impossible to put together: the 50 best mysteries of all time. https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/g44496047/best-mystery-books/

Reminder: Love a writer’s work? Tell them. Seriously. A review or an email or something on social media. Whatever works for you. Sure, some might be assholes, but most writers I know are insecure a lot of the time and hearing from readers brightens up their day.
