Go, LA!!

“At once wry, thrilling, and full of heart, The County Line evokes the Coen brothers at their period best, while staking out a voice and milieu all its own.” —Chris Holm, author of Child Zero www.amazon.com/TheCountyLine

Oh, that's right, I have a newsletter. Sometimes I even remember to write something for it!

These are my neighbors and I couldn’t be more proud. Fuck Nazis! Fuck fascism!

It’s a fully-caffeinated That Noise at 2 AM, talking with @stefanieleder.bsky.social about balancing character and theme, writing prose vs. writing for the screen, and her debut novel LOVE, COFFEE, AND REVOLUTION. open.substack.com/pub/jamesdfh...

If you’re waiting for SILENT CREEK (you preordered, right???) JUST STAY AWAY and PIKE ISLAND are Kindle Monthly Deals all thru June!

This summer @erykpruitt.bsky.social brings his DIRTBAGS series to @rhppress.bsky.social . Check out the trailer here: bit.ly/4jKY3nL Stay tuned!

Chatted with @writerstevens.bsky.social about his brand new thriller, NO LIE LASTS FOREVER

Hey, The Amber Waves of Autumn anthology is now available in paperback. Grab a copy just in time for summer. a.co/d/iYyl0Pe

Wouldn't a new story from C.W. Blackwell make your day a lot better? We've got one over at Reckon. Come see. @cwblackwell.bsky.social

Yeah, Jimmy Eat World promised everything would be alright, but they also said “When the world caves in, what you gonna do?”

From @booksbeyondwords.bsky.social for our boy.

For the evening crowd.

For the evening crowd: my latest for @mysterytribune.bsky.social. All about @alexkenna.bsky.social’s thrilling and emotionally resonant debut, WHAT MEETS THE EYE

Check out Curtis Ippolito's @curtisippolito.bsky.social story "Green and California Bound," over on the MYSTERY HOUR podcast! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Well, this is very cool. My Anthony Award-nominated story, “Green and California Bound,” is now available as an audio story! It just dropped yesterday and Rabia Chaudry is so good. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I met Rich Ehisen at Left Coast Crime in Bellevue where he moderated a panel I was on. I was impressed by his thoughtfulness then & can now say the same of him as an interviewer. Even still, he keeps things casual, so we basically had a 45-minute conversation. Sit in and listen: shorturl.at/4KC0i

Watch me and Rich discuss the craft of writing, how award nominations might alter your approach to the page, and much more. A big thank you to Rich for having me on. na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

If you’ve read this fantastic novel by @steveweddle.bsky.social, you’re probably as surprised as I am by the lack of award recognition. That said, I nominated it for the Macavity Award for the Sue Feder Memorial Historical Mystery. Have a ballot? Show The County Line some love & do the same.

Big thanks to Jeff for inviting me into the Dossier fold.

Same, but native flower seeds.

Hey, here’s some more books I liked. You might like them too. Go on, get some @lauramchugh.bsky.social @curtisippolito.bsky.social @robwhart.bsky.social @nkolakowski.bsky.social @bamawriter.bsky.social @steveweddle.bsky.social and @meaganlucas.bsky.social Fun was had! #BookSky 📚🪓 #SummerRecs

Macavity Award ballots are out, & instead of shilling for myself, I suggest nominating “Blood in the Water” by @craigclevenger.bsky.social. It appeared in The Amber Waves of Autumn anthology & has lived rent free in my head ever since I read it. Definitely deserving & gets my nomination.

Still stoked!

I was away for a bit so this post is a bit late, but I’m so dang happy that @robdsmith.bsky.social is nominated for a Best Debut Anthony for GOOD LOOKING UGLY! @shotgunhoney.com

My sibling found my novel today in the Central San Diego bookstore for sale. 🤘

Well this video fell flat on its face. My goal was to get this info out to those readers who might like my type of fiction. So now I fall upon my sword to ask if you’d mind sharing this and hopefully it gets in front of those who enjoy dirtbags being destroyed. #BookSky 📚🪓 www.bishopriderbooks.com

This story answer the inevitable question of what happens to everyday people when only the rich can afford to thrive through climate change-destroyed neighborhoods. Colin brought it and you’re gonna love this one like me and the RHP team’

A new interview from my 2025 series with BULL LIT dropped today. This one is with Edgar winning author of HOLY CITY, Henry Wise @mrbullbull.bsky.social

Can’t wait for you to read this one! Kendall’s story is set in the Everglades, shining a light on the devastation climate change is causing there. It’s a great story that also explores family, and greed.
