And then there was my call in February, THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY pistoljimpress.substack.com/p/thats-a-wr...

Been a while since I've posted on The Sky™ but for those who missed it, there's been two more Pistol Jim calls with another coming in June! Check out our call curated by the great @cterlson.bsky.social pistoljimpress.substack.com/p/thats-a-wr...

On like Donkey Kong. I think I have one or two spots left. (A couple unconfirmed.)

Twitter is down. What's shaking over here?

I'm planning on an early spring session of Write On. The three topics looked at this time are, "Pace", "Setting", and "Revision." Sometime in Mid-Feb to March. $60 for all three sessions. (USD)

Have a look at this lovely review.

(1 of 5) I’m a sucker for a good coming-of-age story. FALL IN ONE DAY by @cterlson.bsky.social is not just good, it’s fantastic, detailing a young man’s attempt to make sense of the kidnapping of his best friend while navigating friendships at school and changes in his own home.

Just released! www.amazon.com/Fall-One-Day...

To remind all the Write On folks... homework is due this week. (Thursday) And we meet for session one on Saturday. Huzzah.

Three spots left in the class - here are the topics and dates.

Okay... Sun. morning announcement. It is happening. The next Write On is on! Nov. 8 Nov. 15 Nov. 22 Reserve your spot - topic and details to come.

Hey Brent - Really looking forward to seeing you in Winnipeg on Oct. 4th! Haven't seen your stand up for a long time.

Brand new expanded 2nd edition version of Surf City Acid Drop. The novel has three new intros (written by Thomas Trang, Kenneth M. Gray, and one by the author.) As well, this version includes two sample chapters from the next Luke Fischer book, Sayulita Sucker. www.amazon.com/Surf-City-Ac...

Probably in fall sometime I'll run another one of these - if past participants could say something about the classes that would be cool. I like them, but I'm biased.

Finished @cterlson.bsky.social write on clinic Saturday and now I am seriously considering switching genres. But dont blame Craig.

Every year I make an American Flag “cake” for the 4th of July. This year my Adult kids asked if I could do Canada instead! It came out kinda cute. Yes blueberries were mixed in underneath the homemade Whipped cream. #Canada

#JuneWrapUp I read some great books in June. Even though it was a slow month. @jeffnania.com #JaySBell @awhcolumbus.bsky.social #CraigJohnson #EricPBishop #DanAmes #MichaelMcGarrity @sarahstewarttaylor.bsky.social #JohnScheck @cterlson.bsky.social I recommend them all. #WrapUpByAbibliofob

I always have a great time with Luke Fischer and Sayulita Sucker by @cterlson.bsky.social is no exception. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

July 5 is soon - I'd like the first exercise sent to me by July 3 please. I'll be sending the second one along soon. Really looking forward to this!

New today - it's a trip down to Sayulita, the Mexican surf resort, with Luke Fischer as he seeks out a missing teen and uncovers... from @cterlson.bsky.social crimefictionlover.com/2025/06/sayu... Review by @vickiweisfeld.bsky.social

Check out this great new review at Crime Fiction Lover!

Class overview email has been sent. Instructions for first exercise will be coming later today.

Writing rules and breaking them... New one coming today. craigterlson.substack.com/p/dont-defus...

I see POV like a camera lens - maybe because I'm a film guy. But I do think in terms of medium shots, long shots, and close-ups. The narrative distance created between the writer and the character is fascinating, and deeply affects storytelling. Week 1 topic: POV

A couple of spots left. I'll be sending out the details on the first exercise next week. Lemme know if you want in with this fun bunch.

Best ride of the year!

There are lots of prizes to win during Bike Week! And lots of ways to win them! Thanks to all of our in kind sponsors for giving us lots to look forward to! Log your kms and trips during Bike Week on Go Manitoba for your chance to win prizes from: Oh Doughnuts & Little Sister

This clinic focuses on one idea a week - I will share some information and what I've gleaned over the years - and then all the participants will share their work. Classes are 90 minutes (on Zoom), with a discussion board on Discord for those who want. Few spots left.

All of this

Reposting so I listen.

Loving it!!

Correction Line by Craig Terlson www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

That is a beauty! The descriptions hooks me right away. Here is my latest, in the full wrap. 4th in the series - just launched a couple of weeks ago.

New on the Stack. craigterlson.substack.com/p/what-do-yo...

I love Douglas's reviews of these books.

Kick back this weekend with Luke Fischer. www.amazon.com/Sayulita-Suc...

"There's a goon dance card: Nebraska Bob, Guitar-Carlos. Scuzzy, Shorty and Zig the Tall-Boy. A Colt 1911 and a Glock and a big, sharp knife. Dusty alleys with sleeping dogs." www.amazon.com/Sayulita-Suc...

Sayulita Sucker (Luke Fischer 4) is shorter. But don't be scared. It's still not bad. And it gives you extra time to, I dunno, eat fish tacos? www.amazon.com/Sayulita-Suc...

I didn't think it was possible for so many people to get so dumb so fast.

"Great story. My first read of Terlson's and definitely won't be my last! Thought provoking in ways I had no idea I would think. Stellar." 5 Stars. www.amazon.com/Sayulita-Suc...
