Really want y’all to read this one! I call it the little book that could. Launched my career here and in France. Blurbs from legends. Created barrio noir. Got hate for my refusal to put el español in italics. Oh, and it helped me land an agent! Perfect Halloween read.

On Twitter 4 or 5 years ago I woke up to tweets & videos of people championing my 3rd book. It’s something I look back on fondly & find hard to adequately express how it made me feel. It was orchestrated by Jay Stringer & to this day the reason ALL OF THEM TO BURN remains my most popular book. 📚💙
