"To everyone except (?), who is docile as a virus waiting in the wind, chaos is percolating, causing voices to transition from inside to outside, for hands to transform to white knuckle on fine dining linens, for mistakes to get made with one false move..." New things are coming

Worth the squeeze!

Bishop Rider’s back, baby. Bishop Rider is back! #BookSky www.amazon.com/Better-Kind-...

My publisher imploded last year. A crappy experience I wish upon no one. But next month, April 10th, a new publisher (Shotgun Honey) is set to pull my books from the grave. It’s not often you get a second chance is what I’m saying. I’m grateful for mine.

If you like this...ya might better well order www.amazon.com/Fighting-Wor... Paperback is out meow. My story Bourbon Brawl is as mean as it gets!

ANTHONY AWARD NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN: If you're a Bouchercon voter, please consider nominating one of RHP's two eligible collections. Thanks again for your support.

Hey, here’s some more books I liked. You might like them too! #BookSky #ThursdayRecs

An early review by Grahm's Lady's Magazine about Wuthering Heights, "compound of vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors." Something to aspire to...

Shoutout to everyone who writes their own shit. You rock.

This is excellent writing for y'all to chomp down on!

When the writing is so dark, ya gotta put the pen down. Something new is coming soon!

Hey ya know what would be dope... THIS, THIS would be pretty dope.

Now it's official. THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER is coming to you. I can't begin to express how proud I am of the show we made. It's a story of systematic evil, unjust imprisonment, abuse & the need for ALL to fight together to beat the devils who prey on us. Get ready!

@angelluiscolon.com is so talented and so underrated. His new book POP! is coming soon !

Dark Neon & Dirt turns one today. An LA heist novel that’s also about refugees, romance, and war trauma. All existing & future author royalties will be donated to CHIRLA, a Los Angeles-based group advocating for immigrant rights, then the book goes out of print by end of July.

Your heart will break. You will shed a few tears. And—most of all—your faith in love and the human spirit will be renewed. Buy @barbarabyar.bsky.social’s IN THE DESERT www.cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/in-the-deser...

When ya'r at a bar and the bartender starts talking about a buddy's book, so you write down like 10 more crime books yar buddies have shotgunned into the world and hand it over as ya leave... Pretty good feeling.

After a bit of a hiatus, we'll be launching a new Shotgun Honey at the end of the month to celebrate 15 years of Fiction with a Kick! April also brings #BishopRider back with the reissue of A BETTER KIND OF HATE. Look to replace your @beaujohnson44.bsky.social collection with new editions.

When ya google your book for this other thang you're submitting and this pops up... #Queenofgritlit #Gritblackblood @shotgunhoney.com

Made a little @letterboxd.social list about my favorite subgenre in order to distract from The Horrors. boxd.it/TctXm

Does my next book have the macabre indifference of a French crime family pre-dating the 18th century. Why, yes, yes it does. And does my next book steam hotter than a Poularde de Bresse en vessie, ya bet your ass it does. Can't wait for this one to get out in the world.

Hello all. It is again that time of year when nominations open for the Anthony Awards. For those attending Bouchercon later this year, please consider LIKE-MINDED INDIVIDUALS for the best anthology/collection category. Nominations end April 30, 2026. Good luck to all! #Bouchercon #AnthonyAwards
