Ok, Denizens of Queryville - this is a MUST READ.

It’s all here in Joel’s post/thread. All of it. Encourage u to read the entire string and then read them a second time!
And a 3rd.
Be in it to win it!

Sooner or later I'll catch up on my betrayal short story thread, but this one is fantastic. Great demonstration of how understated emotional beats can be so much more crushing.

I had a blast last night reading a scene from the novel I’m querying at San Pasqual Winery in La Mesa. Even better, hanging with Jim Snell (who drove in from Arizona!), Matthew Phillips, Brian Asman (Werewolf Era), JD Clapp, and François Bereaud. Excellent readings, and word is we did a crime…

You. Yes, you with the hair. This thing drops at midnight. You got one ordered? You should. I think you’ll like it.

Ever wonder what happens to those Claymore winners from ⁦Killer Nashville⁩? They end up getting their book published like ⁦Cynthia Rice⁩. Looking forward to hopping into this one.

I Will Ruin You, which only went on sale yesterday, is already at #4 on the Toronto Star’s bestseller list.

Great article about THE FALL GUY and the history of stunt performers. They deserve an Oscar category.
