There’s a line in a Bee Gees song that goes “And you come to me on a summer breeze” and when I was a kid I thought it was “And you come to me on a submarine.” Everything was a James Bond theme to me back then.

The book haul so far at @necrimebakecon.bsky.social 📚 Murders, a loyal K-9, a touch of Agatha Christie, sure—but I was not expecting Sondheim! #writesky @loriraderday.bsky.social @joshpachter.bsky.social

People still constantly bring up my AI Statement page in the Scream zine. Some folks say it made them cry! I was going to be more eviscerating but instead felt the best way to make my point was just to be totally raw and vulnerable in a way AI can't be. sara-century.square.site

No one believed me when I said I was putting on real pants, when I said I was leaving the apartment and going somewhere nice for lunch. Well here I am at a strip mall in the Bronx so the joke is on you

There’s a lot of chatter out here on Broadway today. Apparently we elected the socialest mayor? Sweet! Sounds like a party.

I am a man without fear of picking this up immediately!
Marvel's Daredevil: The Illustrated History is now available in bookstores!
Over 60 years of Daredevil, all in an illustrated book that I wrote. I'm beyond proud of how it turned out. For all Matt Murdock fans out there, I think you're gonna really enjoy it!

Here’s Rian Johnson calling for a John Dickson Carr renaissance and praising Gideon Fell as “his favorite fictional detective” after last night’s screening of WAKE UP DEAD MAN.

Went to a new bodega today & they were rocking the old-school coffee cups. Any other current/former New Yorkers remember these?

Sometimes I think about this old TV antenna on upper Broadway. When did TV antennas become gothic? Is someone in there just watching the heck out of CBS? 👴🏻 For all eternity?? 👻

OK #WritingCommunity, what should I wear for my new (cozy mystery) author photos?
Fun t-shirt (Columbo, maybe)?
Like: “This author gets it (throws money)!”
Sports jacket?
“He’s respectable… yet sporty (clamors for book)”
Cardigan?
“So authorial (invites to book club)”

These AI commercials are so pathetic. “Maybe it can help you pick out flowers? Or plan a date? A vacation?” So sweaty. Just trying to invent a need. Maybe those are fun things people can do for themselves?
