The novel (by James Dickey) is also amazing.

"Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that's what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity" — Albert Camus #writingcommunity

I always think of that great quote from some wise person... "I'll worry about A.I. when my PC can find my printer."

Poe is the silliest boy.

Some terrible losses in crime fiction this past year. Ken Bruen, Daniel Woodrell, and now James Sallis. Rest in peace.

🥳Congratulations to Connie Berry for 🔎A Grave Deception🔎 being an Agatha Award Best Contemporary Mystery Novel nominee! Featured by The Honey Pop, WOSU, and the Akron Beacon Journal, this mystery about a fourteenth-century case with disturbing similarities to a modern-day murder is out now!

A surprise addition to my event schedule! I was invited to be an attending author at Saved by the Book, a book fair at the Locust Grove historical site in Poughkeepsie, NY on March 27th! Stop by for a signed copy of THE MONSTERS AMONG US!

Whoever left this coffee mug there clearly does not understand my C.D.O. (For you normies, that's O.C.D., but alphabetized...AS IT SHOULD BE!)

Minnesota is the best of us.

“It was a funny feeling, being naked and fighting a man with a gun. I didn’t like it. I felt the bullets would hurt more naked.” —Jonathan Latimer, SOLOMON’S VINEYARD (1941)

Edits for IN THE WAKE OF GODS are finished and have been returned to my publisher! I cannot wait for you to read it. This one is BIG! In a lot of ways it's larger in scope than The Monsters Among Us, which readers will understand is quite the lofty claim. Get hyped for release on May 5th!

Stephen King's "On Writing". Absolutely.

Went to Barnes & Noble's yesterday and couldn't resist finding my book and facing it out. (Yes, a cheap dopamine hit. I'm desperate.) Apologies to Ann Cleeves, whose books I hid. (Only some of them, though!) #WritingCommunity

I had fun doing this substack! open.substack.com/pub/booknoti...

Been re-reading William Gibson's "Mona Lisa Overdrive" for the first time in decades. I had forgotten what a kick-ass novel it is, as well as being one of the foundational works of #cyberpunk. #WritingCommunity tinyurl.com/3txjnbub

I wrote about two new books by literary agents @katemckean.bsky.social and @aliahanna.bsky.social that do the important work of demistifying the publishing process. lithub.com/here-are-you...

The council has decided your fate...you must read The Monsters Among Us.

Famous adage known as Pohl's Law, from the late, great sci-fi writer. Can any writers out there relate??? #WritingCommunity #scifi

"The book captures the spirit of Conan Doyle and the late 19th century but presents it in a different style. . . Highly recommended." Check out this review of ♟️THE RETURN OF MORIARTY🔍 by Jack Anderson by Historical Novel Society! https://loom.ly/Owmukh4
