I'm still in the early planning stages of Watch With Jen: Season 7, but I'm thrilled to announce that these shows are in the works.

Recorded my first #WatchWithJen chat with the wonderful @amina.bsky.social about magazines, the fashion industry, the '90s, saying "no" to Anna Wintour, & THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. My plan is to record as many shows as I can from now through the end of Feb, & then start releasing episodes in March.

In case you hadn’t seen it yet, iceout.org/en/ is a good site to track 🧊

"The ICE agent who fatally shot a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis Wednesday is Jonathan Ross, the same officer who was dragged and injured by a fleeing driver in a separate incident last year, according to a person with knowledge of the case and verified by court documents."

@kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social it’s your dog’s twin!

My son and I ran 42 miles yesterday, I'm so proud of him. And he's still fundraising: www.justgiving.com/page/daniel-...

A bit more news to end the week: THE MACHADO FAMILY, my next crime novel, is coming your way - along with reissues of all five Pete Fernandez Miami Mystery novels, via Thomas & Mercer. Details at my newsletter: alexsegura.substack.com/p/my-next-cr...

Folks who keep messaging me on here or trying to get my attention: I have long covid and am sick in bed. I’m not on here much. I won’t be on here. Sorry I can’t help at the moment.

ICYMI, long live crime fiction! Long live the dark stuff! @bookspotlight.bsky.social @briankeene.bsky.social @amina.bsky.social @natcassidy.bsky.social @juliadahl.bsky.social @eaaymar.bsky.social @christafaust.bsky.social @waynefenlon.bsky.social @igreggreene.bsky.social @kevharrison.bsky.social

I gotta go to the neuro hospital in Phx later this week (just more tests) and I always like to see what’s nearby in case I want to grab a snack or do some shopping and oh. Oh no thank you

Whew, officially down 15 lbs. And I'm not even trying to lose weight. This is wild.

One of the worst things about getting sick is realizing those closest to me aren’t upset I’m sick. They’re upset they can’t keep dumping work on me. I need new people near me, I know.

Dad has a new book out today. I prefer for these posts to be all about me, but he did give me breakfast this morning so I'm throwing him a bone. Stay generous, friends! #cat

Something that is new in the realm of long covid—broken bridge syndrome. Researches found —in post mortem exams —that long covid patients have a structural disconnect between the brain stem and the cerebellum. Guess it is in my head but not how people think 🤣🤣 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

A worthwhile interview of a long covid researcher who has long covid (nothing really new for those of us who have it) hsph.harvard.edu/news/a-long-...

"why are you so weird" brother that's the source of my lore

Wow. I've got a story in BAMS 2025! A big thank you to @stephcha.bsky.social & @donwinslow.bsky.social for including "Bad Man Down." And mucho thanks to The Yard: Crime Blog for publishing!

When you have a new book coming out May 5, and that book has flamingoes on it, you'd be remiss if you didn't wear a flamingo shirt. Dead in the Ditch available for pre-order now! @tulepublishing.bsky.social #booksky tulepublishing.com/books/dead-i...

We’re at the arresting white judges portion of fascism abcnews.go.com/US/judge-han...

The colors outside today were so vivid it was like the saturation had been turned up. I was actually stunned. And I realized my weird brain condition can mute colors. So maybe the meds are working (yay!). And shit no wonder I’ve been bummed with colors on mute!

A good day is a day I get to write. (Today was good, happy with this new book)

It’s so fun when someone pisses off a writer and we’re like, BOOK IDEA! Oh yeah I can’t wait to kill that person—in fiction.

Yesssssss

Looking for your next hot read and love White Lotus? The @Nytimes has you covered! They recommend KISMET (yes my KISMET, full of gross smoothies and bodies in the desert and talking ravens) so go pick it up www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

My aunt from Pakistan just warned me to not say shit about trump bc with AI they’re probably listening and …she may be right. Listen to the people who have gone through shit.

I wish I could unread this www.livescience.com/health/virus...

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Does any country want to offer novelists asylum? Asking for me. And everyone I know.

Nearly 300 apply as French university offers US academics ‘scientific asylum’

Actual interaction I just had Dr: what are you doing for contraception? Me: avoiding men, have you met them?

It finally happened. I’m too pale for my desi father’s liking. I call my skin tone translucent consumption chic

ICYMI The @nytimes.com said you should read my book KISMET if you’re missing White Lotus. It’s set in Sedona, full of ridiculous people, smoothies, and so much murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/b...

Oh, this is the interruption we need!

It’s really good, too.

Honestly haven’t been the least bit interested in The White Lotus but it’s like Kismet, you say..? Nah, I’d still rather reread Kismet lol

That's awesome. Kismet is really good. Well deserved.

In more good news, the weird noise in my head is gone after the spinal tap. It’s temporary but damn is the silence nice

So many great books!! I spy the amazing KISMET by @amina.bsky.social, the unforgettable LONG ISLAND COMPROMISE by @taffyakner.bsky.social, and the sublime TANGERINE by Christine Mangan. (Also holy $#!& that finale!) Craving More of ‘The White Lotus’? Read These Books www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/b...

Sorry interrupting everything because KISMET is in the NYTimes and omg www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/b...

I’ll be spending MAGA Monday (the stock market meltdown) getting a spinal tap so I think I’m owed something fun

She was never *in* politics. She was married to a man who was. Leave this woman alone and let her mind her Black-ass business. She is not your democracy mammy.

The Studio on Apple is ridiculously fun to watch

Aw man RIP www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/m...

“The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return.”
