The music that drives my novel SEVEN ANGELS.

In my Tennessee crime novel SEVEN ANGELS, a young woman finds her small town has changed since she left for the city. (Coming spring 2026.)

Don’t take credit for others’ work, Sean. Community note to the rescue again…

Why does he want Greenland? I think we can all see the trumpland map designations coming.

Please do.

Viv is one of my favorite new-to-me characters - exceeded in my admiration only by another @msemilyedwards.bsky.social character y'all haven't met yet, unfortunately - and you'd love these stories.

For @rollingstone.com, I wrote about the making of the myth of sheriff Buford Pusser, and how recent revelations that he was likely responsible for the 1967 murder of his wife, Pauline, undercuts that myth -- and begs for a new narrative about intimate partner violence and family trauma.

In 1984, six high school friends try to find out who killed a classmate and took another. My novel THAT OCTOBER is just 99 cents on kindle for Christmas. www.amazon.com/That-October...

ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

No wonder the resident Trump propagandist at CBS didn't want us to see this. It is horrific and shows how deeply lawless and depraved the Trump/Miller administration is.

Got my first proof for SEVEN ANGELS, my Tennessee crime novel coming this summer!

Is it possible to fill the void in indie publishing right now? Hell if I know. A little bit about what we hope to do at Constellate Publishing. keithroysdon.com/2025/12/22/f...

"Hundreds of families may be forced to pack up and leave the town of 11,000, heading east to Omaha or Iowa, or south to the meatpacking towns of Kansas or beyond, causing spinoff layoffs in Lexington’s restaurants, barbershops, grocers, convenience stores and taco trucks."

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months. It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

I'm woefully under-traveled. I've never been to NYC, Boston, Philly, Las Vegas, Houston or Dallas.

I know most Republicans in Congress are beyond redemption, but do their constituents care about what trump is doing? Do Republicans care about what their constituents think? When will self-preservation kick in? Rise up, all of you.

My Christmas present to you: From 1984, the NBC special "Christmas with Friends," which aired in the "Tonight Show" time slot on Christmas Eve. Johnny Carson briefly appears as Santa, but the stars are Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Orchestra. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGaz...

Hi.

This calls to mind the episode of SUCCESSION when the Roys were in a panic because a gun had been fired in their Faux-Fox News offices. "Is it ANTIFA? Is ANTIFA here?" (Spoiler) Turned out one of their workers had killed himself. Are Patel and Noem and all these ghoulish grifters so afraid?

If you've got an electronic stocking, you can stuff it with the ebook edition of my 1984-set high school crime novel THAT OCTOBER. It's just 99 cents on kindle for what "they" call "a limited time." www.amazon.com/dp/B0FKTC8LK...

Wrote a 6K word investigation about one of the most powerful men in politics and his ties to a facility where sexual abuse was common. State reports, depos, interviews. After a year and a half of work at an editor’s direction, I was told my story wasn’t publishable. The paper later wrote their own.

I feel like putting up one of those slides like at the end of a Marvel movie: The Bullet Boys Will Return in SEVEN ANGELS. It's true. They're in my book, coming next year. Their fates aren't quite the same as here: punknoirmagazine.wordpress.com/punk-noir-ma...

I'm thrilled that one of my favorite writers, Charles Dodd White, has generously provided these words of support for AVALON MOON, coming May 2026 from Madville Publishing. I'm on the lookout for Charles's next novel, THE WORLD ITSELF, to be published by Regal House Publishing in the summer of 2027.

Oh man, the Ellisons *really* want CNN.

I’ll never forget watching the launch on a tiny television set in the newsroom. One of the sports guys said, “One day one of these will explode while we’re watching.” A few minutes later it did.

Never, ever stop reposting this.

Bari Weiss doing the bidding of Donald Trump.

Exactly.

Now this is Christmas week weather in the South.

I keep saying this. Give him enough rope and he'll hang himself.

Yeah no. “Funny mushrooms” is how I ended up managing a Tijuana donkey show in 1979.

Facebook, go ahead and spare me notifications of a friend request from (checks date) thirteen years ago. Chances are I would have accepted before now if I wanted to.
