I love it when I'm only a few pages into a book and it clicks that I'm going to read the entire series.

#writers what is something cool you've learned while doing research on a book?
Recently read about the 20G gang that was known for protecting residents in Spring Garden Philadelphia while fleshing out a side character's back story.

I love trying to read a whole book on a single flight. Last month I did that with Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay. I had twelve pages left when we landed and I finished them at the baggage claim 😅
I did not expect the ending!

Dealing with a bout of depression this weekend. Culminated in my first night of insomnia in about a decade. I'm grateful for the doctors that have taught me coping mechanisms for nights like this and a wife that knows when to help and when to give me a little bit of space.

Looking for a new mystery series. Cozy is ok, but I prefer noir or pulpier stories.

I've read too many unreliable narrators and have made myself suspicious of every narrator now. What do you mean those were minor character details and not subtle clues indicating of a third act plot twist?!
Anyone else poisoned their own mind this way?

I can't wait to finish this (hopefully last) major revision of The Ante.
Then I can finish writing my #slasher horror novel Red Woods.
Then I can write the multiple short story collections I keep thinking about.

What “overdone” trope do you still love?
I love the anti-hero protagonist. I know there are a lot more of them these days, but I love reading, watching, and writing them.

The Prey series by John Sandford is the longest running book series I've read. Rules of Prey came out in 1989, two years before I was born, and I've loved reading about the characters growing over the decades!
