If you live in a social media cave and didn’t know I had a book out.
Absolutely positively do this, folks.
The 8th Annual Team Evie Holiday Book Drive begins... today! You can help put new books in the hands of kids at Children's Hospital LA. www.teameviefoundation.com

You’re going to want GOD’S JUNK DRAWER I’m just saying. First book in a long time where I had no idea what was coming next.
Guess it's time to update the pinned post.
I'm Peter Clines. I write books. Some of them are very popular. All of them are fun in a sci-fi-horror-speculative sort of way. The newest, GOD'S JUNK DRAWER, is out November 11th. I also post about other folks' books, movies, toys, and other stuff I enjoy

If you're a fan of my book THE CONTEST I'll note I have another book (a very different book) called NINE TENTHS that's more "superhero noir" and maybe you should check that out.

Immediately preorder, you fools.
More than 35 of you have liked this so I'm contractually required to tell you I have a new book coming out just after Halloween. And you can preorder it now.

Immediately preorder, you fools.
Stephen is an awesome writer (check out his Eric Carter series) and I’m always grateful when he boosts the signal like this.

I'll note the Kindle version of The Contest is a very specific 53% off. Why 53%? Even Gillian, a puzzling expert, couldn't figure this out.
It would appear The Contest is on a "limited time deal" with Amazon. So if you like seemingly smart characters who get in their own way, buy it for the first time, or again, to get those savings. www.amazon.com/Contest-Jeff...

THE CONTEST is more noir than anything, with a little Willy Wonka flair. If that sounds crazy, pick up a copy and see for yourself. Seen here at Tattered Cover in Denver.

This review really gets @jmacfee.bsky.social's THE CONTEST. This line feels particularly on-point: "What I Loved: Clever, Quirky, and Just the Right Amount of Chaos." 😂 Also hard to hate the "Queens Gambit meets Knives Out" comparison! www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Should finish The Contest by @jmacfee.bsky.social tonight. Excellent novel about four people who competed in a high-stakes puzzle solving competition as kids and what became of them, as well as the Disneyesque sponsor of the competition, as they got older.
