Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned

Yesterday’s book mail!
Just read the Introduction - it landed like a mallet to the head. And that’s a compliment.
I knew I’d be in for a wild ride - now I know it. Strap in and go! Whoop!
Great job, @cwblackwell. Bsky.social!

This is Cooper, Editorial Assistant, Level 1. He joined the writing team 10 days ago, is 13 weeks young. Kid has much to learn but has proven to be a steady aim, hits the paper regularly, and has already excelled at retrieving lost files (more on that later). Get to know his mug - he's here to stay!

Well, heck - what a nice surprise - my thriller DIE ALONG THE WAY seems to be a finalist for Killer Nashville's Claymore Award (Best Action/Adventure, 1st 50 pages, unpublished).
How crazy is that? Sure appreciate the judges time and effort for reviewing all those manuscripts. Writers Rule!

Crime fiction and True Crime Lovers (and all other good citizens); pre-order THE MAN NOBODY KILLED by Elon Green. Release Date: March 11. I found this book to be amazing and eerily relevant to present day; a day in which DEI is being eliminated. I also posted a review on Goodreads. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another Friday Review (helping fellow authors).
Review of HONKY by Ben Drevlow on Goodreads. 4.5 ⭐
What a read. Stories of a white kid born on the right side of town who’s perpetually uneasy with the dissonance that defines his existence.
Gritty, realistic, poetic.
Read it already. I dare you.
