Huge congrats to my dear friend C.W. Blackwell
Help him celebrate by picking up a copy of the stunning HARD MOUNTAIN CLAY. (There's a scene in this book that has lived rent free in my head for over a year now.) shotgunhoney.com/books/hard-mou…

Got a fiery (pun intended) new 200-word story about betrayal. Thank you to Punk Noir Press and Stephen J. Golds for giving this a home. Hope y’all enjoy!

So excited this is finally out in the world. A huge THANK YOU to all the authors for their amazing stories and patience.

I had to push back the release due to almost losing my house and actually losing one of my best friends in the last few months.

But we got it done! 💀🏜🤘

For last minute #AnthonyAwards nominations please consider the following:

Best First Novel

If you’re in or around San Diego, make plans to join us. Thinking I’ll be reading a short chapter from WAVES OF BURDEN, the novel I’m querying.

If you missed the Dark Waters Podcast crowdcast with the incredible team over at Rock and a Hard Place Press for their THE ONE PERCENT anthology - fear not! You can listen to all our antics and rants here --> open.spotify.com/episode/3jwaNU…

All I'm saying is that there is a very good chance I have a story in this collection about a very specific roadside souvenir shop in the Sonoran Desert...

Guest post at 'Kevin's Corner' Thanks Kevin R. Tipple - I talk about writing a novella in collaboration, how we did it, and how we manage to still be friends. You want to know who I wrote it with? Yes, it's a teaser 🤣🤣! kevintipplescorner.blogspot.com/2024/04/guest-…

Hey friends, it's getting to be that time. If you're still holding that ballot, may I suggest... 😬
(Lord, this is painful!)
ALSO - I will be at Bouchercon and I'd love to meet you.

Just finished my first summer read (C.W. Blackwell), even though I have grading yet to be done. HARD MOUNTAIN CLAY is terrific! Shotgun Honey

Pioneering crime-fiction dynamo Kellye Garrett Kellye Garrett took a break from her whirlwind schedule to talk with me & Mystery Tribune about her latest novel, MISSING WHITE WOMAN, due out this week.
Trust me--you don't want to miss a word she has to say!

So here’s the thing. Bouchercon ballots are due on April 30. My birthday is May 1. It would be a pretty cool birthday gift if you could consider The One Percent: Tales of the Super Wealthy and Depraved in the category of “best anthology.”

One of my goals was to hit 300 Amazon ratings for The Moonshine Messiah before The Mountain Mystic releases on 5/21. I’m only one away. Is there anyone out there who can help me out?

#IndieApril ? Let’s goooo!! Go on, get some Nick Kolakowski Steve Griffiths Dana King C.W. Blackwell Curtis Ippolito (is querying) 🎥Jude S. Walko🎬 and Gabino Iglesias #FridayRecs

1st pub birthday for MINK is 4/29!
To celebrate, on 5/1, I'll GIVE AWAY a copy of this 90s-nostalgia horror/mystery described as 'the lovechild of T.C. Boyle and Robert Bloch.'
Like & retweet to enter.
If it breaks 100 retweets, I'll give away 2.🔪♥️
