. @booktrib.bsky.social features @chhooks.bsky.social 's CAN'T SHAKE THE DUST in its showcase of 5 Moving Literary Tales saying, "This propulsive coming-of-age novel is rife with familial tension, difficult decisions and personal growth."

Super-interested in the thoughts here—are you putting bourbon or rum in your eggnog this season? Recipes?

Hap-hap-happiest holidays from @staugustinefl.bsky.social

4,000 miles driven in October and November. This end of tour meal was absolutely glorious. Thank you, Waffle House.

Can’t Shake the Dust came out a little over a month ago! Since then I’ve traveled a lot of miles, hit a lot of bookstores and met a lot of new friends. I’m so appreciative of the booksellers who’ve supported this book!! Tonight’s @hubcitypress.bsky.social with @sgould.bsky.social let’s roll!!

The next night (last night) I got to attend a reception & a wonderful and hilarious presentation and conversation between R.L. Stines & CH Hooks. @rl_stine1 is super kind, funny & the whole thing was amazing. Thank you @chhooks @englishdeptflagler @flaglercollege @rl_stine1 ! ❤️

What an absolute thrill of a couple of days @flaglercollege.bsky.social !! Such a joy to have R.L. Stine here-and truly one of my life's great pleasures to spend time with a person that has inspired so many to read and write.

Ghost tour in St. Augustine with R.L. Stine and Ananda Lima @anandalima.bsky.social @flaglercollege.bsky.social

This is really wild. I can’t find a soul on here that I know🤣. So I’ll start fresh on here and try to get the algorithm straight. I write southern fiction books. Some nonfiction about music and food. What about you? #writer #author #southernfiction #foodwriting #musicwriting www.chhooks.com
