Book cover. Light blue background with a darker blue spiral. Red text reads: Out of the Loop. Below that, in white text: A mystery. September 17 calendar pages form a spiral around the title, ending with a September 18 calendar page under a magnifying glass. Black text below that reads: Katie Siegel. White text below that reads: By the author of Charlotte Illes Is Not A Detective. In the top right corner is the image of a red flower with a black stem and leaves. In the bottom left corner is a black shoeprint. Text around the book with arrows pointing from them: What happens after a time loop ends? Amateur sleuth who is both overqualified and underqualified for the job. Stereotypical “Guy Who Builds Rube Goldberg Machines” Repressed sapphic feelings for ex-girlfriend. The worst person to get stuck in a time loop. The most perilous bagel run of all time. Fun chapter titles (fork found in kitchen) She spent two years in a time loop. Now she’s ready to solve a murder. And maybe grab a bagel. The Seven Year Slip meets Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers in this wholly original time loop mystery. For the past two years, Amie Teller has been stuck in a time loop. Each day, she wakes up and it’s September 17th. Same day, same weather, same people, same conversations. Until, one day, it’s September 18th, and Amie is free. Before she can celebrate, Amie learns her neighbor was murdered the day before—the day Amie has lived hundreds of times. Amie knows she has to help; nobody knows yesterday like she does. But acclimating to her new non-repeating life proves to be more difficult than expected. How does one resume their life after a time loop, anyway? Assisted by an ex-girlfriend who wants to make their friendship work, and a grumpy neighbor who spends his days building Rube Goldberg machines, Amie sets out to track down who killed (and killed and killed and killed) Savannah Harlow. Excerpt from Out of the Loop: "It doesn't necessarily have to be the direct result of your inter-ference," David mused, standing and crossing the apartment. "Not to talk like a stereotypical 'Guy Who Builds Rube Goldberg Machines'—" "I don't think that's a common stereotype."

hi @rianjohnson.bsky.social would you be interested in an advance copy of my post-time loop mystery that Publisher’s Weekly called “A well-crafted whodunit”? Excited for WUDM, I’m watching this weekend!!
Cultured. You're a very busy director. Where and when do you actually get the time to read? Anytime I can. When I am not in the thick of production or post-production, my recharging place is to pick up books again and read. Before I wrote Wake Up Dead Man, I was very much trying to delve into mystery writers that I hadn't read before. MY REQUIRED READING: RIAN JOHNSON

hi Sam I went talent scouting for you at the Hey Riddle Riddle show and there are certainly three of them!!
Three people onstage in front of a red curtain. One wears a red curly wig and an Annie dress and is shrugging comically. Another is wearing a red 80s wig and cat makeup. The third is wearing a baseball cap and a Phantom of the Opera mask.

me when I get a mid trade review: these things are steeped in bias, honestly reviews are more about the reader’s experience than real commentary on the quality of the book even when done by a professional

me when I get a good trade review: I won writing

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about how donating money to food pantries is better than food, and while I’m sure that’s the case for many I asked my local pantry and they said they prefer food donations!! So it’s definitely good to ask 👍

Out of the Loop Day 2 A.L. If time loops were a common shared experience by a large enough fraction of Earth's population, there would probably be more maxims about them. “What happens in the loop stays in the loop,” perhaps. “Every change in the loop happens for a reason: you.” Put that on a plank of wood in a beach house bathroom. “Loop me once, shame on you. Loop me twice ... well, let's hope it doesn't come to that.” Another time loop maxim: “Life after a time loop is like riding a bike.” For Amie, a very mediocre bicyclist, this could be interpreted as "very shaky and potentially dangerous for herself and everyone in her vicinity." But it also meant that twenty-eight years of living a life that chronologists would call "normal" meant that she had deep-rooted instincts that two years in a time loop couldn't wipe out. Book cover. Light blue background with a darker blue spiral. Red text reads: Out of the Loop. Below that, in white text: A mystery. September 17 calendar pages form a spiral around the title, ending with a September 18 calendar page under a magnifying glass. Black text below that reads: Katie Siegel. White text below that reads: By the author of Charlotte Illes Is Not A Detective. In the top right corner is the image of a red flower with a black stem and leaves. In the bottom left corner is a black shoeprint.  Available for preorder! Out February 10, 2026
