Yeah. I'm with Roxane on this.

Just a reminder that WESTLAKE SOUL is available on Audible and that you have never read anything like it before. Also, the narrator, Evan Greenberg, really nails Westlake's voice. People love this novel, and it's a great experience on audiobook. Give it a shot: www.audible.ca/pd/Westlake-...

Calling all reviewers and beautiful bookish people. WHAT THEY DID is now available for request over at NetGalley. Take a chance on it. I think it’ll stay with you.

Without a shred of hyperbole, it took everything in my soul to write this novel. It nearly broke me, but I pushed on. I never gave up. WHAT THEY DID: Available in bookstores everywhere August 18, 2026.

New @ala-booklist.bsky.social review assignment. Big fan of @rioyouers.bsky.social's books. @harpercollins.bsky.social

Hard agree.

Went on a pre-order spree today and loaded up on some great books coming soon. Links in the comments. Nowhere Burning by @catrionaward.bsky.social What They Did by @rioyouers.bsky.social You Have to Let Them Bleed by @annieneugebauer.bsky.social The Boatman by @alexgrecian.bsky.social

I have a new novel out next August (available for pre-order now). I'd love for you to give it a shot.

I'm so sad about the passing of Rob Reiner & his wife Michele. Not only did Mr. Reiner direct some of my favorite films, he also rallied against unfairness and inequality and was never afraid to point a finger at those in charge. That makes him a hero in my book. RIP, Rob & Michele. You were loved.

Perfect for Halloween. Check out my buddy, James Campbell's, brand new single, available now wherever you stream your music. Give it a listen, and get your pumpkins jumpin'. open.spotify.com/album/1zg41m...

I don't care how rare or special it is. I'm staying the fucking away from anything called a "white-knuckled wolf spider." www.bbc.com/news/article...

NO SECOND CHANCES by Rio Youers. Drop this novel on your phone or e-reader of choice for $1.99 (for a limited time, US only). It's better for your soul and your brain than doom scrolling. It's better than Candy Crush, too.

Well this is lovely. Thank you, Lydia. :)

One of my favourite stories from the End of the World As We Know It anthology so far Keep The Devil Down by @rioyouers.bsky.social focuses on the incredible character of Elise, a complex and complicated person who is the essence of what The Stand is about - the desperate pull between good and evil

Cool fact: @stephenking.bsky.social loved this book, and I think you will, too. NO SECOND CHANCES is only $1.99 on e-book for a limited time. For that price, it'd be a damn shame to miss out.

"Keep the Devil Down" by @rioyouers.bsky.social is another standout. Sweet jeezus.

I've been reading THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT slowly, savoring it to keep the stories from blending together. Just got to "Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time" by @crobertcargill.bsky.social, and holy hell, is that a standout. Can this be a movie? I want it to be a movie.

Here's a fun little novel you might have missed. Currently only $2.99 across e-reading platforms. (US only.)

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

I listened to this a few weeks ago and it was pretty awesome.

I'm in Toronto tonight for Kula Shaker. Peace, love, rock and roll. ✌️

The e-book is only $1.99 for a limited time. Please help me spread the word. Thanks! :)

Sad to say goodbye to Robert Redford but happy for the movies, characters, and moments he gave us. RIP.

I'm so ready for this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuRX...

I went to see the Waterboys at the Danforth in Toronto last Thursday. Such a great show, and Steve Earle showed up on the big screen!

I'm reading "Keep the Devil Down" by @rioyouers.bsky.social in The End of the World As We Know It, and I had to take a break to go order another of his books. I am always blown away by his writing. #booksky

Might I recommend one of my novels if you feel like a shot of action in your life?

"Keep the Devil Down" by @rioyouers.bsky.social in The End of the World As We Know It is such an intense, thrilling story. I had to write about it. Oh man. I love this book so much: roland19.wordpress.com/2025/09/05/e... @briankeene.bsky.social @cgolden.bsky.social #books

Early at ONT airport. Spied some favorites. 💙📚 @paultremblay.bsky.social @rioyouers.bsky.social @sgj.bsky.social

So incredible to be a part of this book. Congratulations to the editors and all the contributors, and a big thank you again to Stephen King for handing us the keys to his beautiful old car.

Secret Lives of The Dead is creeping out into wild already ... if you see it please share a photo! Oh, and please check it out it you'd like a thriller-horror-folk-crime-heist.gone.wrong story featuring one of my most brutal and horrific antagonists, Lem.

A stunning, haunting, riveting, unforgettable book. Essential reading.

Hard to call yourself a fan of music and not be moved by this in some way. Brian Wilson was a cultural icon. His music, his sound, and his legacy will live on for generations to come. RIP to one of the greats. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm supposed to travel to the US in August to help promote this, but it's looking increasingly unlikely that will happen, America being what it is.

I loved this book. If you missed it on its initial release, get it now. My @ala-booklist.bsky.social review from 2024:

Paperback is out next month. July 15.

Book 33 of 2025. What a freaking wild ride. Non-stop action, excellent story and characters you care about. What more do you need? Did I mention non-stop action? Hard to put this one by @rioyouers.bsky.social down. I enjoyed it immensely.

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s boost all signals. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. I’m sharing the comeback baby, the first barrio noir, the novel that gave me a career in France, the little book that could! www.amazon.com/Zero-Saints-... bookshop.org/p/books/zero...

The final cover for SECRET LIVES OF THE DEAD is graced with a glorious blurb from the mythically-talented, supernaturally-brilliant @claymcleod.bsky.social ! Learn their secrets this August. Or pre-order their secrets now.

Huge thanks to everyone who turned out for my two launch events last week for THE NIGHT BIRDS! What a blast we had! I love this pic from my event at An Unlikely Story with Paul Tremblay. So many happy faces!
