We're into the last 6 hours of the Crime Writers for Trans Rights Auction. One of my wonderful collaborators on the auction @sgwong.com created this graphic for me showing what I'd be bidding on if I could bid—I can't bid, but you can. Go for it—And thanks for making the auction a HUGE success.

Authors, if you have access to Peacock, watch the SNL documentary they did about the show writers. As a novelist, it gave me so much validation. We are all just hoping our shit will get picked.

For the love of all that is holy, if you can, watch The Homecoming Concert for SNL50. I'm not sure what I'm loving more. Eddie Vedder, the Lonely Island tribute, Backstreet Boys...I'm only half-way through.
