THE GRAVES is currently sitting at #2 in Crime Action Fiction on Amazon and I'm trying not to take it personally that a mafia age gap romance is beating me.

Spotted this beauty in a parking lot and immediately turned into that person who lingers way too long, pretending to check my phone while profiling every shopper like "Do THEY look like they'd appreciate a good hotel-based horror story?" Never did find my sticker soulmate. #StephenKing #BookNerd

Current listen: Lisa Jewell's TRUST NO ONE. Absolutely unhinged in the best way. First half = masterclass in creeping dread. Had me more freaked out than anything since Gillian Flynn's DARK PLACES. Wasn't totally sold on the ending but what a ride.

B&N highlights some upcoming fall audiobooks including Stephen King narrating his collaboration with Sendak, plus Joe Hill's KING OF SORROW, and Pullman's final chapter in the The Book of Dust trilogy. Can't wait. buff.ly/ojeMYRy

CURRENT LISTEN: DON'T LET THE DEVIL RIDE by Ace Atkins

Expected lean storytelling, a la Colson series, got a literary jam session instead. Amazing characters, wandering plot - but sometimes the scenic route's worth it.

Excellent narration for a host of characters by Michael Boatman.

Me: "I'm in such a reading slump, nothing sounds good"

Also me: picks up the same Harlan Coben book I've read 3 times

Look, I know re-reading FADE AWAY instead of tackling my 847-book TBR pile isn't exactly adventurous, but sometimes you need that literary equivalent of mac 'n cheese, you know?

Statistically speaking, at least a few of yesterday’s 1,000+ Max Strong downloads weren’t mistakes. Let’s get Max to #1 so I can finally tell my mom this writing thing is working out. #crimefiction #freethriller

Read it. Share it. Accidentally send it to your HOA group chat.
