Really enjoyed this debut by fellow Edgar nominee @ashcliftonwriter.bsky.social. It's a mystery thriller about PI Noland Twice and his search for stolen funds in a world where everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum of shady. Corruption, codes, and well-drawn characters abound!

Bucket list check! The Mechanics of Memory was just featured on a segment for NPR's Here & Now. So honored!

PRE-ORDER THIS ONE RIGHT NOW! I've read and loved everything by Samantha Downing, but this just might top the list. It's darkly comedic, the timing is pitch perfect, and the last line? Chef’s kiss. Thanks @samanthadowning.bsky.social for the early copy of this absolute gem of a book!

It's just heartening when your Google Alert isn't an obituary, for once.

I still keep opening the website to make certain it's true, but #TheMechanicsofMemory has been nominated for the Best First Novel Edgar Award! Absolutely THRILLED! Thank you @mysterywriters.bsky.social!

Hi there, you on the table. Just a reminder that The Mechanics of Memory is often compared to Severance. Check it out while you are waiting for Episode 2 to drop!

Just a little reminder that Agatha nominations close tomorrow! Get your ballots in...and if you have a First Novel slot, The Mechanics of Memory would love to fill it!

So proud to be a member of this group!

Thank you, Gabriel!

Really enjoying this one by @ktnguyenauthor.bsky.social!
