Happy 80th to one of the greats in voice acting: Frank Welker, who among many feats, has played Fred Jones on about every iteration of Scooby-Doo ever for SEVEN decades (especially my fave, hilarious Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!) Thanks for being so awesome, Frank!

Looking forward to my event tonight with @brianraftery.bsky.social to celebrate his fantastic new book: HANNIBAL LECTER: A LIFE. Come join us at Exile in Bookville at 7:00 tonight! I’m naturally preparing with some fave beans and a nice chianti.

THE KILLING FIELDS OF EAST NEW YORK by @stacyhorn.bsky.social is out today in paperback. When this first came out last year, I was stunned by how current this book felt in 2025, and now, just barely into the new year, it's just as striking and relevant.

Happy to announce I'll be in conversation with Patrick Radden Keefe on Thursday April 16th, at 7:30pm here in Chicago. We'll be talking about his latest, the spellbinding LONDON FALLING! Tickets are at the link in my bio!

It is with great pride - and no little envy at Margot Douaihy’s writing - that I get to announce Gillian Flynn Books’s third Sister Holiday mystery, dropping today! If you want a poetic, badass thriller, look no further than DIVINE RUIN.

Thank you LondonHouse Chicago for kicking off the season by putting me and my lovely cousin, Kameren, in this rooftop igloo!

It is with a heavy heart we took out the trash today — when I realized my beloved Pond's Cold Cream pre-dates my daughter, who is 11. Farewell, Pond-y! Onward to that Combo Makeup Removal and Facial Moisturizer Playground in the Sky!!!!

Thankful for good ole Chicago...

Thank you Kansas City International Airport for establishing urinary parity! It’s seriously no small thing for women not to be punished because of our biology!

Would my books make the “literature” cut, Southwest? Fingers crossed…

I'm so happy that this article is now online. I wrote about Javier and Kristin of Chicago's Exile in Bookville -- with help from @gillianflynn.bsky.social, Nathan Hill, and TJ Newman. Amazing people, amazing store.

Sister Holiday is back! My favorite punk rock nun from the brilliant mind of Margot Douaihy is solving her toughest case yet.

June confronts her evil twin.

If you're looking for an excellent fecking book to read, I'd highly recommend Holly J Wilson's KITTENTITS. I can't possibly say enough good things about it. No spoilers, but it may not be for the faint of heart. Definitely the best book I've read in a good long while.

KITTENTITS is out in paperback today! If you haven’t picked up @hollywilson.bsky.social's weird and wonderful debut, now is a great time. Molly is one of the most memorable young female characters I’ve ever met, and I just LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! (Also pictured: our family's 3rd cat, Buttercup)

Today's pick: a book by my dear friend and brilliant pop-culture expert, Brian Raftery (@brianraftery.bsky.social). Trust me, I KNOW pop culture and he puts me to shame! (In an enjoyable way.) #marchives

Still beaming from a glorious weekend at the Tennessee Williams Fest, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Pinckley Prize for female crime writers. A peak was this panel w/ @alafairburke.bsky.social @gillianflynn.bsky.social @lauralippman.bsky.social , moderated masterfully by Maureen Corrigan.

Looking for a way to honor this #TransDayofVisibility? You can support the vital work of the Transgender Law Center by bidding on signed books and so much more from incredible members of the crime writing community and beyond! www.32auctions.com/writers4tran...

Gotta have a beignet in New Orleans… and gotta wipe your face afterwards. I walked the entire city looking like this; children wept.

My particular favorite was when several of us gathered in Killer Po' Boys and, in @gillianflynn.bsky.social's honor, began pounding on the table: ONE OF US, ONE OF US. (Photo be @alafairburke.bsky.social)

I was having too much fun to post, but the gathering of Pinckley Prize winners at this year's Tennessee Williams Festival was very, very special. Pinckley -- everyone called her that -- loved crime fiction and after her death in 2012, a prize was set up.

With my new best pal Ashley Elston - author of FIRST LIE WINS and winner of the 2024 Pinckley Prize for Debut Novel! The ribbons are made of folded up pages from our books, which is SUCH a cool homage to our work. Thank you Ashley, the Pinckley Prize organizers, and TWLF for a lovely time in N.O.!

I’ve been reading the Pulitzer Prize winners in fiction from the very beginning — I’d never heard of Early Autumn, but it’s one of my favorites. #marchives

My parents' favorite author (after me)! Happy 55th anniversary, Mom and Dad - we love you! #marchives

YOU’RE INVITED! I’ll be in NYC with literary icon @gillianflynn.bsky.social in May to celebrate her publishing imprint Gillian Flynn Books. Join us at Neuehouse NYC on May 5th from 6-10pm - you can register at the link below: GillianFlynnEvent.com

Today's pick: A novel set in my hometown, Kansas City - Whitney Terrell is just a beautiful writer - the John Irving of the Midwest. #marchives

Very excited to be part of this!
