I deeply appreciated the chance to write a gnarly little mystery set on Capri, complete with a dead fashion mogul, a shipwreck, and an annoying little dog! #amwriting #mystery

I respect this opinion immensely but I'm coming at it from the opposite perspective of Mark Wahlberg being dead-last on my list of Parkers. Like, 'behind Statham' last. He wasn't well-served by Black's script, which gives Parker a past (?!), has him show demonstrable fear (!!!), etc.

Marky Mark coming for Scudder next.

The @strandbookstore.bsky.social is out of signed copies of WHERE THE BONES LIE! I did spot one unsigned copy in the Mystery section for anyone who wants to shop local (or order online local)…

For @crimereads.bsky.social I have a lengthy piece on the one and only Shane Black, who may qualify as our last noir director (and whose new movie is out today!). crimereads.com/nice-guys-wi...

I don't highlight Kickstarter projects often, but this one from Richie Narvaez and crew looks *very* cool if you're into detectives and speculative fiction! www.kickstarter.com/projects/for...

What does it mean to you to be a Southerner? Someone asked me that today in an interview To me being a Southerner is the center of my identity as a black man, as a human , as a writer. This place of blood and toil, of pain and passion, of joy and agony. Of hatred and hope This place that -

The trick with an idealized bookstore haul is you have to hit at least three completely different sections in one go.

Happy six-month anniversary to WHERE THE BONES LIE, my fiery little California #mystery novel. It's still finding readers and I'm crossing fingers to get the sequel approved so if you're looking for a book, ah, I'd love it if you'd give it a read...

I just don’t want “film a video and hope it goes viral” to be a “reasonable” expectation of authors!! I hate being on video! I am too awkward for video!

I admit, it was hard to end the BOISE LONGPIG trilogy with a suitable bang, but I think we pulled it off with RIGHTEOUS TRASH, dropping Oct from @rhppress.bsky.social ! #coverreveal and preorders in 🧵

What, you thought WHERE THE BONES LIE was the only big project I'd roll out in '25? Something massive and secret is hitting way sooner than you think...

Good morning, friends!

Last night finally (my TBR towers) dug into WHERE THE BONES LIE by @nkolakowski.bsky.social about a Hollywood fixer who'd rather tell jokes. Missing celebs, scandal, drugs. Been warned it might not be typical Kolakowski. Nick is never typical, always entertaining. #FridayReads What're you reading?

Nick Kolakowski chats with the author and screenwriter Jordan Harper about "She Rides Shotgun" and what authors have to give up for the big screen. crimereads.com/jordan-harpe...

Had fun talking with Nick K for Crime Reads (which dug up Baby's First Author Photo for the illustration). Ending quote:

Nice little squib about WHERE THE BONES LIE in the latest @uchicagopress.bsky.social magazine! If you’re still looking for that #mystery read for your late summer vacation…

Not my favorite Kubrick by a long stretch, but my appreciation for it has grown over the years.

Oh hey it’s the cool kids’ favorite Kubrick movie

I'm reeeeeealllly looking forward to this one!

Good morning, friends!

Re-reading 'The Hunter' for the first time in years and I'm struck by how emotional and borderline out-of-control Parker is... it's a real shift from the subsequent books in the series, when he's more like the T-800 with a taste for robbery.

My latest interview in @mrbullbull.bsky.social is with the talented writer @nkolakowski.bsky.social We discussed his killer new book WHERE THE BONES LIE and other crime related things. Give it a read!

A very cool interview with @mrbullbull.bsky.social where I got the chance to chat WHERE THE BONES LIE, PIs, PTSD, playlists for novels-in-progress, and more! Check it out! #mystery #amwriting

Coolest cover for The Hunter ever.

Crime fiction primarily operates in two mediums, written and visual. Crime comics merge the two. buttondown.com/crimecomics/...

A very cool interview with @linachern.bsky.social and @jamesdfhannah.bsky.social about all things crime fiction, tarot, and more! I enjoyed this one... and if you're into mysteries, I bet you will, too. jamesdfhannah.substack.com/p/39-five-fo...

Over at @crimereads.bsky.social, I chatted with @robwhart.bsky.social about "The Medusa Protocol," his extremely cool sequel to "Assassins Anonymous," which you absolutely need to read if you dig lightning-fast plots and amazing world-building. crimereads.com/rob-hart-on-...
