Sunbutter is a hardboiled, close to retirement detective, and Jelly is his holistic crystal astrology partner with "crime vibes."

Highly recommend! If you enjoyed my books, I think you'll love this (and the related "Ashetown Blues").

Went to see #BlueMoon tonight... wow! Fantastic performances all around, and Hawke was phenomenal. The script by Robert Kaplow (a high school teacher!) was witty, fun and heartbreaking. This was easily my favorite #movie so far this year!

My final, definitive comment on Return of the Jedi -

I mean wtf is supposed to be going on here?

Looks like 2025 is Ethan Hawke's year to shine. I've been really enjoying "The Lowdown" and "Blue Moon" looks fantastic! I'll pretty much watch anything with Andrew Scott in it anyway. Will I finally make it out to the theater for a non-horror movie?

Took the family camping in western Kansas this past weekend. The Milky Way was so bright! Both my city kids were in awe. I've heard people say looking up at the stars makes them think of how small and insignificant humans are. When I look up, I think of all the amazing possibilities open to us!

Well, it's Wednesday, but I'm making #sundaysauce anyway. Anyone have a special #tip? I like to roast my veggies to bring out their sweetness before adding them to my #marinara!

"One of the most valuable lessons I learned from Elmore Leonard!" I ejaculated.

Share a cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of. (I still have a box of these toys stuffed in my closet, much to my wife's chagrin.)

I just finished book 2 this morning. You’re a terrific storyteller, Ed! And what a way to open book 3! 😱📖👀

If you've been putting off reading my #hardboiled #scifi books, Wednesday is your chance to pick up the first three for only $.99 each! The "Murder on the Starship Australis" is a #noir #series following a disgraced #detective on a #generationship 🪐📚💙 www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJ9SV4NR

Cringetober2025 day 5 - favorite cliche. I picked "scifi noir detective". I think it's prominent enough in media to be a cliche! #theexpanse #cringetober #cringetober2025 #noir #noirdetective #scifi #josephusmiller #art

“I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled ‘science fiction’ ever since, and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal. The way a person gets into this drawer, apparently, is to notice technology.” Science Fiction (1974)

I just finished "Chivalry Will Get You Dead", and I was surprised to find plenty of appeal for modern sci-fi and contemporary plot points in a book that will also appeal to fans of literature from a century ago. This book really has it all! Plus a HIGHLY believable protagonist and fast-moving plot!💯

I've lived in the UK for better part of 25 years and have read British literature for longer than that, and it's only TODAY I learned that Americans frown with our mouths and the British frown with their foreheads. You freaks.

"The Education of Young Dalton Reid", the first book in my #scifi #western series "Gunslingers of Gaea" is finally getting a new cover as well! 🪐📚💙

A much appreciated write up by reviewer Marzaat. It's a summary of the books primarily (a few names wrong), but he had some well-considered criticism to add as well. Still: "If you’re looking for brutal noir in a science fictional setting, these books are worth a look."

Wow! It's already been two years since I released my first #scifi #detective #noir. Getting these stories out into the world has been a wonderful experience as I connect with fellow authors and hear from #readers across the globe. I'm thankful for every one of you!

AND a guest appearance by Peter Dinklage?! Oh, man. I might be expecting too much...

I feel like I should be smoking a cigarette and brooding about the murder of that dame on 5th street.

In a show packed with great performances, Tramell Tillman's Milchick is fantastic! The character is so goofy, but he somehow manages to pull off menacing at the same time. An award well deserved.

Saw this elsewhere and made me think of @scalzi.com: "Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero."

Ooooo.... Ethan Hawke as a bookstore owner/journalist in a #noir set in #Tulsa? PLUS Keith David? Count me in!

Yes, A.I., Tom DOES have to deal with a LOT of adult themes and content. 🤣

I specifically put out a warning to mine and told my mom she wasn't allowed to read it at all.

Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…

If you enjoy #scifi #detective stories, you should check out this new #novel by @authorwhmitchell.bsky.social ! Mitchell has a fabulous sense for writing #noir with a touch of humor. I'm already looking forward to the next book! 🪐📚💙

Finally, Book #4 in the Murder on the Starship Australis series has a title! Easy As It Gets Driope Project (www.instagram.com/pleter__/) went above and beyond on the #art for this one! (Working on the wording still.) I can't wait to put this #scifi #hardboiled #detective book in your hands. 🪐📚💙

The original cover for A Violent Man was my favorite of the three, and Driope Project (www.instagram.com/pleter__/) did a great job translating it into new #artwork. One more cover to go in my #scifi #hardboiled #detective series! 🪐📚💙

New #artwork by Driope Project (www.instagram.com/pleter__/) is coming for all my #scifi #hardboiled #detective books. Here's book #2: Murders in the Gray. 🪐📚💙

I loved the new #artwork for "Chivalry" so much, I had the very talented Driope Project (www.instagram.com/pleter__/) redo all of my #scifi #detective #noir books! I'll be posting one a day, culminating in the cover for the next book in the retitled "Murder on the Starship Australis" series.

A good day at the used bookstore! Got two off my TBR and Redshirts to boot. Now to choose: the #sci-fi #detective #noir, the #scifi satire or the #western?

Free movie idea: It’s a noir detective story, but everyone’s just trying to find where they parked.

I have near zero interest in sports and modern pop, but the Swift-Kelce engagement announcement is such a nice change of pace from the usual horrors. Glad they found each other! Here's my Swift favorite, which happens to be quite appropriate.
