Just received a Q&A, where I'll choose which q's to answer. Half are like "What is the role of genre fiction in social criticism" & half are "What tools do you use to write?" Kudos to the list-maker for an impressive mix of hard and soft balls ;) I'm definitely doing the hard ones.

Plus the latest mysteries from C.J. Box, Kelley Armstrong and Deon Meyer in this month’s Whodunit column. @groveatlantic.bsky.social @putnambooks.bsky.social @minotaurbooks.bsky.social @kelleyarmstrong.bsky.social @juangomezjurado.com www.bookpage.com/?p=212834

200 of mine. No, that's not a typo. 200 works. Every book, short story, novella, collection, some translations. That includes books published less than a year ago.

When I was a guest at Boskone, NESFA did a hardcover bind-up of my Kate & Logan Danvers YA duology (Wolf's Bane/Wolf's Curse) Copies are now available below! Signed & numbered limited edition.

Spell-check just tried to change "Zombie." to "Zombies." Now wondering what it thinks the singular is. Zomby? Zombi? Zombee? It also wanted to change draugr to drugs, which would have made this story a delightfully bonkers "don't do drugs" PSA

I feed the crows every morning, but with winter, a lot more have figured it out, so I've started "hiding" some. So far, we're at the toddler stage, where the peanuts are in plain sight if they look hard enough, which they do. It's the slow season. I need some way to amuse myself.

I have my husband's location tracked via Find My, though I only ever open it answer important questions like "when will my coffee arrive?" Ten minutes, apparently.

Plotting the last part of my novella Creative me: this'll happen and then this and, ooh, how about this, and then this twist and-- Manager me: you're already over 30K Creative: ??? Manager: this is a novella, ma'am Fine... Mallory will solve the mystery faster b/c she's just that good

Email from my editor, wanting to talk titles. Is "no" an appropriate response? 😂 How much do I hate coming up with titles? I'd rather write a formal outline. Personally, I think my working title is just fine. Haven's Rock 4. Done.

We aren't really a sports-watching family, but my youngest made a point of listening to the game last night (watching it cost $ and he wasn't going that far) The outcome was more important than it usually is, and hockey is always important here. Huge congrats to the Canadian team for its OT win.

Canada won the hockey game so as per NHL rules we now get to absorb the USA instead. Welcome aboard!

AI is constantly offering to "help" with my writing--can I finish that sentence for you? rewrite that for you? summarize that paragraph for you? No, no, also no. But when I put an extra l in syphilis, spell-check is all "I know that's wrong but I have no idea what word you actually want" Sigh...

If you're in my part of the world today, this title might be a little too apt. Book 3 of my Haven's Rock series is out today, with both a setting and a killer who are Cold as Hell. Details: www.kelleyarmstrong.com/book/cold-as...

Just flew back from Boskone. Seems we’ll be on the Toronto Pearson tarmac for…a while. A Delta plane is… upside-down. No idea what happened but seems everyone is accounted for. Scary stuff.

Going on vacation for a few days. All packed, but I feel like I'm forgetting something. Right. Disable my news app. Disable social media. Now I'm ready ;)

Heading off to the Ontario Library Association Super Conference in Toronto! If you're there, I'll be signing copies of Cold as Hell tomorrow (Fri, Jan 31) Booth #418/420 at 11:00 AM #OLASC

As usual, my proof-page instructions warn against making too many changes to avoid introducing new errors. Readers often grumble that typos suggest a book wasn't edited, but each round fixes some errors...and risks introducing more as we tweak echos, awkward sentences etc. It's a vicious cycle 😅

I knew to expect proof pages today or tomorrow & I've been looking forward to this final read-through. Schedule has been cleared, it's been a slow day, proofs arrive, yay! Make a coffee, open file, settle in... Spend next hour doing everything except starting the proofs

Listening to a talk on the history of Burns Night, which is today, which is a good time to mention I have a Scotland-set series. A Rip Through Time: modern Canadian detective ends up in 1869 Edinburgh working for a pioneer in forensic science. Book 4 this May! www.kelleyarmstrong.com/series/a-rip...

Happy Caturday! It's still snuggle-under-blankets weather here. Stay warm!

Always amused when I stumble over things listing how many novels I've allegedly written. 244! 312! 357! That's what happens when they grab numbers from sites that include everything: novels, novellas, short stories, collections, anthologies, translations... I'm prolific; I'm not that prolific 😂

When I forget to end a workout on my watch and I end up clocking three hours of strength training. Hey, I was holding a book while reading for nearly two of those hours. That counts, right?

New cover! The Haunting of Paynes Hollow is my 3rd standalone horror, coming in Oct. Sam really needs her inheritance to help her ailing mom, but it means staying at the cottage where no one has set foot since she caught her dad burying a body 15 years ago. www.kelleyarmstrong.com/book/the-hau...

Go downstairs to fetch headphones for listening to a seminar Decide to put in contacts (more comfortable with headphones) While at sink, might as well wash face, brush teeth etc Laundry alert sounds, switch loads Go back upstairs. Guess what I did *not* do? Memory fail, stair-climbing win

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

I know this was posted a month ago, but something has me in mind of horror...don't know what...and there are a lot of great books here, including my client @kelleyarmstrong.bsky.social's I'LL BE WAITING, so, of course, I have to repost!

Read this immensely difficult and thoughtfully written piece this morning. It's truly stomach churning, but kudos to @lilashapiro.bsky.social for writing with so much care. (The sexual violence CW are for *real*, so keep that in mind if you're planning on reading it.)

Our friends at Reparations Club, a black owned bookstore here in LA were impacted by the fire. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There has never been a story written without a "social agenda." Go back as far as you like; they're all about something. This idea that art should be apolitical is impossible, even if it were admirable.

Shoutout to the Los Angeles Times reporters who are doing essential journalism under very difficult circumstances. They’ve dropped their paywall, but their ongoing coverage is a good reminder of why local newsrooms need support — and what we lose when those outlets are hollowed out.

Event I'm attending is looking for interesting/amusing anecdotes about me. Yeah... I'm thinking I'll just pretend I'm a fictional character & make sh!t up. No one will know, right? "So, this one time I was trapped in a haunted house during a blizzard while a serial killer was at large--"

Tried giving the dog a pill this morning--chewable, beef flavoured. She just looked at me, and I knew what that look meant. Where's the peanut butter? Added it. Problem solved.

Came up to my writing room for an hour. Went downstairs to find the Christmas tree hauled outside, ornaments all put away. I'm liking 2025 so far. Also, I may just stay upstairs for the rest of the day, see what else gets done.

50% thru my 2026 horror novel, doing backflips to have the narrator learn critical backstory of the other characters & witness things happening to them in the current story. Realized the solution is...3rd person POV chapters 🤦 Should have been obvious, but my brain just got stuck in 1st

Since the only thing I know about today is that it's Dec, let's do my top 5 reads of 2024, in no order: Don't Fear the Reaper - Stephen Graham Jones Long Live Evil - Sarah Rees Brennan The Saint of Bright Doors - Vajra Chandrasekera This Could Be Us - Kennedy Ryan Starling House - Alix E. Harrow
