Trying to kick off a new old project. Flash Fiction Friday:

James McAvoy as General Zod in @jamesgunn.bsky.social DCU. Hear me out...

No, no, no. Ryan Coogler/X-Files yes. Recasting Mulder and Scully, no. Have them be new characters picking up the files again. timesofmalta.com/article/the-...

Can't wait for the sequel.

In my head this morning, thinking about the OEP relaunch (2027). About a decade ago I was in a health crisis and unsure. I had just started to build OEP and I didn't want those books orphaned. So, I signed on with D&O. OEP became the imprint Shotgun Honey. D&O is gone, another health crisis. Flat ⭕.

Well there's a probable chance that I'll have to go in again. They tried, oh did they try, to get the required sample, but the radiologist doesn't believe they got enough. If not, I get another biopsy done by a surgeon. 😕

Book Release: The Way You Say My Man by @meproctor.bsky.social Happy pub-day, Martine! shotgunhoney.com/announcement...

Having a biopsy tomorrow. I'm excited. So, so, excited.

Soon... more @beaujohnson44.bsky.social to rise again.

Ridiculous amount of reviewing, requesting, and rejecting today.

I've got the new One Eye Press branding sorted. Now you figure out what I'm publishing next year. OEP will be as it originated when it was the OG Shotgun Honey imprint. Novellas and Collections. Shotgun Honey imprint will continue the legacy and series books + small annual catalog.

THREEPEAT: That's a third Derringer for @cwblackwell.bsky.social!! Help us congratulate him on his win for Long Story! It's merely part of this amazing collection of stories, just sayin.' Get yourself a copy today: bit.ly/4runwWU #smfs #shortstory #noir

Great book for the spooky season.

Alert! The e-book of THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP by @gradyhendrix.bsky.social is on sale for just $2.99!

Beware the Beast. Django. #BlackCatFriday

I'm gonna just say it: I think this is a really good book for this time of year.

When I see another Patterson celebrity book deal I can't help but think how many new careers they could launch with the advance paid to the all already wealth celeb. Maybe the ghostwriter will get a good payday.

Hey, here’s another book I liked. You might like it too. #TuesdayRecs #booksky

I hope, with the Skydance (Paramount/Warner Bros.) merger being approved, that they dump the Paramount+ app. It's horrible. The HBO Max isn't bad. I've never tried Discovery+. Of course, if they jack the subscription price up to recoup the $110B, I may just drop both. I need more time anyway.

So damn happy to have this back in the world, and thanks to Frank for keeping the series alive. This one is me drawing from authors I love like Joe Lansdale, Harry Crews, Flannery O'Connor, and Cherie Priest. It's a wild ride, and I hope you'll dig it.

Making Shepard's Pie. Should have taken a pic. But my piping was kind of messy. The potatoes were still hot. Why do they call it pie?

What's your favorite action scene?

Have you ever looked up an actor from a movie you're watching and think "well they picked a lane."

After more than a decade requesting, reviewing, editing author blurbs, I guarantee that "An Absolute Page Turner" blurb was originally a dissertation why Title X fits into Genre Y. In publishing everything requires editing.

A week in, this book has gotten more attention than when it was first released in 2021. My continued thanks to readers of old and to those who are just now discovering how Bishop Rider makes them burn. Big thanks to @ronearl.bsky.social too, for rehoming my books and giving me this second chance.

I don’t tend to follow my release numbers after a book comes out. It’ll just drive you crazy. But Unbearable keeps coming out high on Arthurian Fantasy subcategory on Amazon. So I’ll take a win while I can.

My new novel, Devilry in Godling Wood: A Medieval Horror, will have an audiobook! A first for me. Richard Reed is the narrator, and he does an incredible job with it. Out Oct 23. Add on Goodreads if interested: www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

Book Release: Daydream Believers: Crime Stories Inspired by the Songs of the Monkees! edited by Lawrence Allan and Michelle Kubitz, with foreword by Tod Goldberg. shotgunhoney.com/announcement...

Sho-nuff.

Clayface is the 3rd DCU theatrical release? That's weird. It may be good, but a second tier villain is weird. But, hey @jamesgunn.bsky.social, you know what I'd like to see adapted?

THREE FROM NICK KOLAKOWSKI: The “Jake Halligan” trilogy is an action-packed, blood soaked saga that will leave you wanting more! Pick up all three books by @nkolakowski.bsky.social for that crime fiction lover in your life today: bit.ly/3J1ekYN #crimefiction

Now available. www.amazon.com/Brand-Dark-B...

AI detection uses AI. That's ironic. And studies show, and studies can n be manipulated, that AI detection can be as low as 10-20% accurate. Recent events show, however, that it can be used in racial bias. AI isn't racist, but those making determinations on unprovable data are.

THE SDA ARRIVES ON OCT. 6! Big thanks to @ilynwelch.bsky.social for her review of this antho I'm proud to be a part of. Big thanks to Matthew David Goodwin @richienarvaez.bsky.social and @diversionbooks.bsky.social for pubbing. #supernatural #fantastic #speculative #detective

What are you reading? Me? THE KILLING YARDS by @jasonallison76.bsky.social QTP with your #FridayRead.

I love talking to cool people

Happy birthday, Mark Hamill. 75 today. Here’s a sketchbook drawing of him from 2018. Colour pencil and ballpoint.
