Maybe if they gave him the Nobel Timepiece prize, that would satisfy him.

This is my last week as Indigo's Author of the Month, where you'll find plenty of my books, including my most recent, Whistle, 25 per cent off! www.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/...

This is such an interesting, moving, inspiring interview with @linwoodbarclay.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

If you're anywhere near Brockville, Ontario on Sept. 6, I will be appearing at the new St. Lawrence Writers Festival talking about Whistle and who know what else. Details here: sites.google.com/downtownbroc...

Someone you might know is Indigo's Author of the Month, and his books are 25 per cent off. Not 25 per cent shorter. Books remain the original length. www.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/...

I might not agree with everything the WSJ says, but I am willing to make an exception.

Have this totally original, never been done idea for the grand finale of a superhero flick. The hero faces off with the villain in a big city and they crash into skyscrapers. Buildings start falling over and huge swaths of the city are wrecked. Wouldn't that be cool?

Congrats @linwoodbarclay.bsky.social, @atticalocke.bsky.social @michaelconnelly.bsky.social,Tana French,Gary Phillips,S.A. Cosby, @lauralippman.bsky.social, @meganabbott.bsky.social & @stephcha.bsky.social on being among @wsj.com 's best crime novels of the last 25 yrs. www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

If you're a Jaws fan (and who isn't) the NatGeo doc that dropped today is fantastic.

You could put him on Mount Rushmore. You could name Washington DC after him. You could pass a law requiring every child to be named Don or Donna. And it still wouldn't be enough. It will never be enough. He is the black hole of sycophancy.

I approve of this store placement.

In its first week on sale, Whistle lands at #3 on the bestseller list.

WHISTLE by @linwoodbarclay.bsky.social is a frightening treat from start to finish. It’s about model train sets with supernatural powers controlled by a villain who’d give Leland Gaunt from NEEDFUL THINGS a reason to up stakes and get outta town. Read it now.

This piece on Whistle might be the most thoughtful, in-depth review of anything I have ever written. bookclb.com/whistle-by-l...
