This is next week!! Get your tix and I hope to see you there.

Pub day!!!

The paperback edition of I Want to Burn This Place Down is out today. There is still so much that I want to burn down, but I have to tell you, it's been so gratifying to see how many other "good Democrats" are sick of the status quo as well. bookshop.org/a/310/978006...

My story, "Clearance Items in the Underground Dark Magic Night Market," is out in Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet-edited by the amazing Kelly Link and Gavin Grant! What lengths would you go to for someone you love? A Caretaker discovers the answer one night in a desolate field. shorturl.at/GbwXO

Just a reminder. I'm always surprised how many people aren't aware of this. #Libraries

Finished this last night.Never read any Le Carré before and now I have lots to read. Such a great book. Think in my head I'd lumped him in with the Dick Francis type popular novels of my childhood. Well, I was an idiot.

Louise is amazingly successful writer who still takes time to support others. Her fiction is riveting. Worth a follow!

Lovely gift from the missus.

I wrote about a very wholesome novel and then a very unwholesome novel (both equally enjoyable) in this week's newsletter. www.themarisreview.com/the-maris-re...

Available on Amazon... #WritingCommunity #Mysteries #Thrillers @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social

Sold 13 copies!! I love connecting with new readers. Thanks all for coming by!

author.amazon.com is down right now. Which means I have to face the existential anguish of not being able to check it every hour or so to see how many books I'm not selling.

Bad treatment of a good word! Btw, I once heard an editor at the New Yorker say that they would automatically reject any short story that had the word "myriad" in it. Which tempted me to send them a story entitled "Myriad."

In the latest episode of our Read a Classic Novel…Together! channel, my great friend Margaret Luongo and I reveal the books we have been cheating with while we were SUPPOSED to be reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. youtu.be/_ojJrXOOh2Y?... #books #writingcommunity

Michael Mann's underappreciated 1986 classic "Manhunter" is coming back to theaters this July (a new 4K cut)! tinyurl.com/bdf8pcyp

A lesser-known Sherlock Holmes story pre-sages the rise of hardboiled, noir detective fiction in America in the 1920s and 30s. To read more about it, check out my recent essay here... tinyurl.com/yc7daa4p #writingcommunity #sherlock

I was invited to attend the Thrills & Chills Bookfair in Middletown, NY! Come meet me alongside an array of incredible authors on July 12th at Aspire Brewing!

A Meme isn't what you think. The word comes from the theory of Memetics. Ideas are like viruses. They're contagious, spreading, replicating, mutating, before being coughed onto others. They shape our culture, beliefs & minds. I dive into it in my latest post. open.substack.com/pub/tammykom...

Best of luck to the Bram Stoker nominees tonight!

Tweaked the Bad Intentions cover so the broken eyeglasses pop a little more. (Sometimes a thing you design looks vivid on an Apple monitor but muted on social media.) Anyways, new and improved!

All packed and ready to drive to Pittsburgh tomorrow! See you soon, StokerCon!

If you're at Dexlite in Morristown, NJ this weekend, stop by the @especbooks.bsky.social table, buy one of my books, and you can get a bonus story emailed to you! #Booksky #Booktok

Cover reveal! Here’s a new one I designed for BAD INTENTIONS, @literarygarage.bsky.social’s upcoming noir anthology inspired by Warren Zevon. Very proud to be part of this. Lots of great talent involved, from editor @kmwriter01.bsky.social to all the contributing authors. Proceeds benefit charity.

Good evening from me and Poe!

Good evening from my Head of Marketing, who’s worried about the release of In the Wake of Gods tomorrow (he gets an extra treat for each copy sold, and he’s hoping to eat a lot!)

I’m a natural redhead. This means anytime I get hot my face flushes from light pink to deep red. In my youth, gym class gave other girls a fine dewy glow. They looked healthy and athletic, while I looked like I was about to pass out. Now in my 40s people at the gym wonder if they should call 911.

Sinister little slice of high-school noir over at @rhppress.bsky.social this month. @jessebinger.bsky.social draws out the ambiguity and suspense beautifully, as usual. www.rockandahardplacemag.com/stones-throw...

I was checking the stats on my blog/website this morning, and I was amused by my two most popular topics of the day...

My short story collection, WEST, is now available as an e-book on Amazon! Only $1.99. I'm just sayin... a.co/d/0iUVIcd1 #WritingCommunity

Ending the week strong with a little Greek love from The National Herald / Εθνικός Κήρυξ! bit.ly/4dij2gN You can order AFTER PEARL here: amzn.to/4t9dNow @sfwp.bsky.social @susanschulman.bsky.social #crimefiction

How long will it be before 90% of the users on Facebook are AIs, trying to sell crap to the other 10%--who are also AIs?

If you have an Anthony Award ballot, please consider MYOPIC DUPLICITY for your anthology. Today's your last day to vote! Just take a look at this incredible line up!

We did a little thing last night to celebrate reading and writing, crime and mayhem. people.com/2026-edgar-a...

Hard to pick one favorite line from Tuesday’s fantastic @mysterywriters.bsky.social Edgar Awards Symposium but I’ll go with @gregghurwitzbooks.bsky.social: “To me, everything is character. Plot is nothing more than that character in motion through time.” #booksky #writesky #characterdriven

Is this illegal?
