Also, hell of a great way to celebrate one week of WAVES being out.

What a wonderful review and a fantastic way to start the day. “It’s this addictive nature that makes Waves of Burden the perfect vacation read.”

Read Caitlin’s story. It’s so moving, so beautifully written. mastersreview.com/flash-challe...

So appreciate these kind words from the crime fiction champ himself. Grab your copy yet?

Today’s the day! Publication day for Waves of Burden. It’s surreal. This book and I have been on quite a journey since I wrote the first draft in 2022. I experienced so much, good and bad, as you would expect for over four years. I wrote this novel with 1/2

Full of secrets, lies, & omissions, Curtis Ippolito’s WAVES OF BURDEN is a cocktail full of family dynamics and the darkness you sometimes find there, even if that darkness has the best of intentions at heart. Misguided or not, it’s Ippolito at his best. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/waves-of-b...

You would be hard pressed to find someone who writes about San Diego, or place in general, better than @curtisippolito.bsky.social

San Diego friends, I’m headed to Curtis’s event tomorrow at 3pm at Artifact Books in Encinitas. Come say hi to him and get me as a bonus.

"In Waves of Burden, San Diego is a character. When I was outlining it and realized that Drew would need to track down Jake, I knew that would be a great device to show off my favorite places in this city and county." -- @curtisippolito.bsky.social

NEW FROM COLD CALLER MAGAZINE: RHP author @curtisippolito.bsky.social talks about his new novel WAVES OF BURDEN, about San Diego as the backdrop for crime fiction, and about how his journalism background translates to his fiction. bit.ly/4xzYn03 #crimefiction #ridethewaves

Really enjoyed talking to Cold Caller Magazine about everything WAVES OF BURDEN. coldcallermag.substack.com/p/an-intervi...

Publication day is one week from today. I have all the feelings, but mostly excitement. Can’t wait for everyone to read about Drew, Jake, Gaby, and San Diego! The paperback is available for preorder nearly everywhere, including your local bookstore, Bookshop, and Barnes & Noble.

Such a great book. Get it if you haven’t read it yet.

THE ONES IN THE CORNER is out in the world! If you fancy a strange and violent tour of an Atlanta underworld I totally made up, but probably also existed in some form, check it out. And if you like it, I’d sure appreciate you telling your friends and leaving a review on Goodreads or Amazon.

This was a great conversation with some insightful questions. Check it out if you’re a Patreon subscriber.

Really great event yesterday at our San Diego Sisters in Crime meeting discussing WAVES OF BURDEN. Carl Vonderau had insightful questions for me, and I sold some books. Next book launch event is at Artifact Books in Encinitas on Saturday the 20th!

First time doing an unboxing video, and had to film it at a place of significant meaning in WAVES OF BURDEN. Dropping June 24. Preorder your copy today at @bookshop.org, at your local independent bookstore, or wherever you buy books. Ride the waves!

In order to relieve some of the swelling on my bookshelves, I'm trying something out: here's a grab-bag of 15 books from my library for auction. Old pulp novels, books I own multiple copies of, and one signed book from me (may or may not be in English). Have at it! www.ebay.com/itm/37725717...
