It was a thrill to meet one of the all-time great science fiction writers, Larry Niven (author of Ringworld), at Windycon in Chicagoland. #booksky #writingcommunity #sciencefiction #larryniven

I’ll be signing books and meeting readers this weekend at Windycon, Chicagoland’s longest running science fiction convention. See everyone there! #booksky #artificialintelligence #sciencefiction

Look what I found at the Zurich Public Library in Switzerland!

The Spooky Frog Book Fair was a blast. My favorite book signing was for Mickey, who brought a first edition of Vengeance he found at Half Price Books. It was already signed to someone named Courtney, but I was able to fix that. Now Mickey is a murder suspect! #booksky #writingcommunity #writerslife

Check out this episode of the excellent Spooky Frog Horror Book Podcast for an engaging conversation about AI, remote work and a dive into The Perfect Stranger (at 20:20). Are you prepared for the future of technology? #booksky #artificialintelligence #scifithriller www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWCa...

We found our dog Ollie hiding from Fourth of July fireworks in a food cabinet.

"The Perfect Stranger just blew me away. I literally couldn't put it down. I'd even go as far to say it's one of the best I've ever read." The reader reviews on Amazon and Goodreads have been wonderful and mean a lot. Here's the latest. #booksky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

This is where I stay when I'm writing my books. #booksky #writingcommunity #horrorwriters

A.I. created a "summer reading list" of recommended books that was published in The Chicago Sun-Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and other newspapers. Big problem: A.I. faked titles and summaries promoting books that didn't exist. Oops. #booksky #writingcommunity chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/05...

CU at C2E2........ Panel and book signing on Saturday, April 12, Chicago. Yes, this photo is from my mass murderer days. #booksky #horrornovels #C2E2

This book is so damn good, I read it in one day. (And I am a slow reader!) It's a tight little thriller that's perfect for any of us who work from home, or who think AI might be getting a bit too good at what it does. Check out "The Perfect Stranger" by @brianpinkerton1.bsky.social

Chicagoland friends: I recently dropped by Barnes and Noble Old Orchard to sign their stock of The Perfect Stranger. Signed copies can also be found at Barnes and Noble Village Crossing & Barnes and Noble Algonquin. I'll be signing at Barnes and Noble Wicker Park on April 26, 2-4 p.m. #booksky

A.I. pirates! My copyrighted novels are being stolen by Meta to feed their A.I. machine to generate lazy, derivative works, as exposed by The Atlantic and their LibGen tool. This is happening to many writers. Support real authors! #authorrights #writingcommunity #booksky #artificialintelligence
