Does anyone else wish that #audiobook prices were matched across platforms? I prefer to listen on one platform but the prices are always cheaper on another. It’s maddening. I don’t get why they aren’t the same or don’t price match. #AmReading #Audiobooks #Chirp #Books #BookSky

I’ve been reading the Slough Dogs books recently, but unlike past books where I read the book and then watch the TV show, I’m doing these backwards. They’re surprisingly similar, which is unusual. I usually find the TV show not like the book. Anyone else feel this way? #AmReading #WritingCommunity

One thing I learned writing thrillers is that readers will forgive a lot if they care about your characters. They'll forgive nothing if they don't. To my fellow writers, I'm curious how you make sure that connection lands in the first few chapters? #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Writing

Do you want your #thrillers technically accurate or just plausible enough? I obsess over getting the hacking and tech details right, but I genuinely want to know, does it matter to you, or does it pull you out of the story? #WritingCommunity #AmReading #ThrillerBooks #WritersLift #BookSky

Morning thought: After 30 years in tech I write thrillers about the tech threats that keep me up at night. The best part? My debugging skills translate perfectly to plot holes. The worst? I can’t unsee the vulnerabilities everywhere. #FridayVibes #WritingCommunity #CyberSecurity

Grew up blue collar Detroit, 80s kid who escaped into Clancy and Gibson. Now I write the thrillers I needed back then, but with actual tech that works the way tech works today, not Hollywood magic. 30 years in the industry helps with that.
