The hard cover edition of Twice the Trouble is now going for $6.50 on Amazon. That's just over six Ameroes. Cheap! It would make a great Christmas gift. I'm just sayin... tinyurl.com/yvdjh5xm #WritingCommunity #Mysteries

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

Begs the question—why haven't they produced a John Waters biopic so that Buscemi can snag that elusive Oscar?

Been waiting for this news for a long time. Huge congratulations to @caseystegman.com

Poe is getting into the Halloween spirit by going full hellhound mode! And he says everyone should read The Monsters Among Us, lest he devour them whole (sorry, he can’t be stopped, and his hunger knows no bounds!) Save yourself: books2read.com/u/m27rzr #darkfantasy #horror #RowanProsePublishing

How could you pass up a chance to listen to Jenn Lee read a story titled Hallucinogenic Toreador? Jenn does a fantastic job with this story by Anthony-nominated @ashcliftonwriter.bsky.social. It will make you hang on every word. @leonardoaudio.bsky.social leonardoaudio.com |thewritersdossier.com

Lifting up @petercbradbury.bsky.social today! He always supports fellow authors and writes great books! Thank you, Peter!

Saw BLACK TUESDAY (1954) on #NoirAlley this weekend. Look beyond the obvious—Edward G. Robinson’s bravura turn as a prison escapee; Stanley Cortez’s bracing images—and you’ll find a rare outlaw movie that takes the consequences of violence seriously. A major film, despite its middling reputation.

Delighted to have a poem in the next issue of Southword

If you didn’t hear, THE MONSTERS AMONG US won the Firebird Book Award! That means my amazing Head of Marketing deserves extra treats!

The formerly titled The Del Rey Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy is finally available as an ebook from Open Road. We had to change the title for legal reasons but here it is. openroadmedia.com/.../the-big-... Here's to a new life for one of my favorite, mixed-genre anthologies.
