A reminder that Lefty Ballots are due soon and also that if enough of you vote SILENT CREEK for Best Mystery I get to make a speech at the banquet.

As a straight white guy author, I can assure you we are in no danger of going extinct. I cannot believe the @startribune.com ran this nonsense.

“Rain smacked Los Angeles. It splattered on the palm trees, sizzled on the neon, gurgled down the dirty boulevard. The town was sick. They hadn’t seen sunlight in almost a day. But I had the cure. A fifth of magic and a sack full of cold, hard joy. ‘Ho,’ I said once. It was enough.” -Noir Santa

At what time can you safely feed a mogwai each morning and does it account for Daylight Savings Time? (Central Time Zone)

Got a question for #bakingsky… when reading thru my recipe, should I use Paul or Prue’s voice? It’s a pâte sucrée if that helps.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Remember to get your donations in to the Tony Wirt Fund by Dec 31 so you can report it on your 2025 Tax Forms. 100% of donations to the Tony Wirt Fund go directly to Tony Wirt and Tony Wirt related activities.

Who wants some good news? How bout some REALLY good news?

Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the Wild got Quinn Hughes.

I’m on a list with Megan Abbott and Lou Berney if you’re wondering how my day’s going. therapsheet.blogspot.com/2025/12/favo...

Not sure which of my books to buy for whom this Holiday Season…

If you’re a #LeftCoastCrime attendee, Lefty ballots are out and I’d appreciate a nom for SILENT CREEK. For those unfamiliar, the Lefty Award is a real thing, unlike whatever bullshit that FIFA thing is.

Remember when they wouldn’t shut up about participation trophies?

I'm still finding new levels. It's a perfect sketch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrlS...

80% of the dingleberries in Minnesota are in Tom Emmer's underwear, 33% of which he harvests and sprinkles on his cereal. It's fun to make up statistics.

Also... episode one???

Got a manuscript that needs a little love? I've got *one* editorial slot open this month. I specialize in content and developmental editing—all that stuff that'll take your story to the next level. Questions? Hit me up.

Gotta admit, losing the CyHawk dual sucks. How did Iowa State fans handle this for 20 consecutive years?

All my books are on sale today…probably.

Keep my state out of your fucking mouth.

Spend your holidays with Viv you big galoot.

SILENT CREEK is the perfect Thanksgiving book, because I realized during dev edits that Thanksgiving and Christmas take place during the timeline and were not acknowledged, but I was told I could ignore them. www.amazon.com/Silent-Creek...

Props to the saxophone player for being the only member of Marvin Berry and the Starlights who kept going when that Calvin Klein kid went nuts on the guitar.

Holy crap! The world may be in a state of constant Burnination, but we've got a new SBemail!!!

The Wall of Saint Paul, baby.

He did. When you're done reading it or listening to it, you might want a drink. Or maybe not. You'd know what I mean if you had MYOPIC DUPLICITY. thewritersdossier.com | leonardoaudio.com

Just a reminder that i wrote a story for this awesome anthology and you can check it out if you want. @leonardoaudio.bsky.social @jeffcircle.bsky.social

Once again, a man cannot have sex with a girl under 18. It’s rape. Every time. No matter what.

Ellen is awesome and I absolutely cannot wait for this…

As others have pointed out… this isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to keep from coming out.

Just called my rep Brad Finastads office to ask how he planned to vote on the Epstein Files discharge petition & the guy who answered the phone said he “didn’t know”. I expressed my surprise that he didn’t know such an important thing, but told him I if he voted no I’d assume he protected Diddlers.

My timeline on every app is just Northern Lights pics and I feel like we need that for a min.

Dear Twins fans, I want SELL THE TEAM chants all season at Target Field.

Today’s Giving the Cats Lunch Song was sung to the tune of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, in remembrance.

I have officially finished the read through of the draft I finished last week. I think once I make sure characters don't have new names halfway through the book and things that happened early on aren't just completely forgotten and ignored, we may have something to work with here.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

What’s the difference between Democratic Leadership and an old man repeatedly punching himself in the dick on national TV? This isn’t a joke, it’s a legit question.

Because the other side has absolutely no interest in doing that.

Dear @klobuchar.senate.gov and @smith.senate.gov this is your response to any deal that doesn’t have ACA subsidies extended (and a pinky promise vote later doesn’t count)
