Happy pub day to my lil crime thriller The Guilty sleep. Filled with gratitude for @rozfoster.bsky.social, @tonimargarita.bsky.social, @diversionbooks.bsky.social, and everyone who has supported this book.

When I started it in Oct21, it was just a dream. And now, here we are! Gosh.

Yeah it’s crazy to me anyone is worried about this. Given the long history and various actors, it’s clear that 007/James Bond is just a code designator/name for a top agent and not one guy.

Just…do that.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Oh dear, another scam email. These have been very steady over the past few weeks, although few have been so blatantly detectable.

Unless, @gradyhendrix.bsky.social it’s really you, hit me up brother! 🤣

Only a few authors out there I’ll seek out every single word they write: @joerlansdale.bsky.social, @blacktopkid.bsky.social, @almakatsu.bsky.social, @premeemohamed.com, @chuckwendig.bsky.social are on that list, as is @gabino.bsky.social. What do they have in common?

Gorram, @blacktopkid.bsky.social did it again, and better than ever.

The darkest noir I’ve read in a minute, chock full of great characters, a plot tighter than a miser’s a-hole, and flames that lick right out of the pages.

There’s only one question I have left…

Scientific fact: it is impossible to be in a bad mood while listening to Me First & the Gimme Gimmes.

August 2021, I’d just finished Blacktop Wasteland by @blacktopkid.bsky.social; so damn good it inspired me to try my hand at a crime thriller.

Now I’m reading his latest in the downtime between signing my own, while copies of our books share table space.

Somebody pinch me.

Small complaint in the grand scheme, but ever since I published my novel I get 1-2 contacts a day through my website where a “book marketing specialist“ pings me with an AI-generated pitch to “increase my reach through their carefully curated network of 2000 readers“.

In Maryland, they don’t do it any better than Elder Pine in Gaithersburg. 10/10, no notes.

Want to watch this jabroni hack of a wannabe novelist splutter, sweat, and mumble through a conversation about his book with a former CIA Director?

LAST CHANCE to get tickets to my book talk with Michael Morell at Middleburg Books in scenic Middleburg, Virginia.

BRB asking @tonimargarita.bsky.social if Diversion Books can issue a special release of The Guilty Sleep infused with scents of bourbon, cordite, spilled blood, and cherry pie.

Good LORT, this book you guys.

It’s a canine tooth, a rending claw, a venomous sting. It’s @almakatsu.bsky.social’s best, which is saying something.

Y’all I am halfway through this book, torn between wanting to devour it in one fell swoop and wanting to parcel it out in delectable morsels. It’s so dang good.

If y'all do go up in The Rapture can I get that 50 dollars you owe me before u go JEREMY

@barnesandnoble.com in Tysons Corner, Virginia has a few signed copies of The Guilty Sleep on hand in the New and Noteworthy Section.

Such a thrill to walk into a bookstore and see my lil novel on the shelf and sign the dang thing.
