Had kind of a crappy day today which always makes me want to say thank you to anyone out there who has supported me or followed my work. I owe you guys. Because of you, I get to do what I love. Life can be hard going these days so if you are having a rough day yourself, consider this a digital hug.

The Barry Awards are one of the most prestigious awards in crime fiction. Named in honor of fan reviewer Barry Gardner, the awards are voted on by readers and subscribers of Deadly Pleasures and traditionally presented at the Bouchercon World Mystery Convention.

King of Ashes won the Barry for best novel. My third such award and I am infinitely grateful for it. I am also saddened to learn after 30 years George Easter, the editor of Deadly Pleasures magazine is ending the Barrys. George, thank you so much for all you do The Barrys will be so missed

"I swear to god you touch her, you come near her, you lay eyes on her, you think about her too loud and there ain't nowhere deep or dark enough for you to hide. You can be in China about to take a shit and I'll come out the toilet like the Tidy Bowl man with. 45 in your ass"Anthony said.

At the same time My friend dropped his nunchucks and ran out the building. I grabbed my date by the hand and drag/run with her out as well. My friends date brings up the rear making a noise like a duck fighting a mongoose We get outside and my friend *is in his car trying to leave *

-take some girls down to this place which was down a long lane on the water. We have one flashlight and my friend had some nunchucks ( they dont play a role in the story but I still think its funny he had them ) So we go in.. You ever been to a place that just felt *bad*? Like even the air taste-

-sad? That was this place. We entered a long hallway with rooms on both sides with the doors open, pieces of medical detritus filled the hall. Stretchers wheel chairs etc. My friend, predating Zach from Ghost Adventures by 15 years, starts yelling at the "spirits" "DO SOMETHING! I DARE YOU!!"

@fabiannicieza.bsky.social is my favorite comic book writer of all time. His take on Nomad revolutionized the way we tell comic stories. And then he started writing novels and he is blowing that away too. He showed me the story is the things... No matter where its told Thanks Hermano

An underrated classic. I truly think it suffered from the idea that critics didn't want to accept Eddie could direct too. He was already too successful. "You gonna shoot me in my pinky toe?" Lol

Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.
