Happy Independent Bookstore Day. Please give your local indies the love they deserve!

Big excitement for and congrats to @lauralippman.bsky.social and @meganabbott.bsky.social!

I was delighted to write the introduction to a new edition of Josephine Tey’s THE DAUGHTER OF TIME, which you can read today at @crimereads.bsky.social:

This is a great book -- and you can buy it NOW!

Feeling kind of guillotineish.

You mean I have to tell you all to pre-order my book? In this economy?

A thing that made me happy: The great @alafairburke.bsky.social discusses WHAT REMAINS OF ME with Polly Stewart in @crimereads.bsky.social -- and makes me think, "Hey, that sounds like a book I would like!" crimereads.com/backlist-ala...

Why do I feel like I'm living in this Twilight Zone episode every goddamn day?

Last day! Bid on a 30-minute chat with me, character names in books by amazing authors, signed books, chats with other incredible authors. The possibilities are limitless. But again, time to bid is not... www.32auctions.com/writers4tran...

Big congrats to the incredibly talented @wendycorsistaub.bsky.social, whose excellent and suspenseful THE FOURTH GIRL is out TODAY! It's such a great book! www.amazon.com/Fourth-Girl-...

I can't wait!! Congratulations, @alafairburke.bsky.social, on seeing your excellent book brought to the screen!

Bid on my zoom chat -- or on one of the many wonderful items a whole slew of great authors are auctioning off!

Wanna chat with one of your favorite authors--say, @meggardiner.bsky.social @alisongaylin.bsky.social or @sherrythomas.com? A writing critique from #WilliamKentKrueger or @arttaylorwriter.bsky.social? Bidding is open, NOW IS THE TIME! #crimewritersfortransrights www.32auctions.com/organization...

Happy pub date (one day late) to the amazingly talented @martynwaites.bsky.social, whose ultra-suspenseful and mind-bending THE OTHER PEOPLE is out today. I could not put this book down and was utterly shocked by the ending! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ot...

A great deal on a great book!

How it started, how it's going.

Don’t take my word for it, take Jeff’s. THE OTHER PEOPLE by my alter ego CB Everett is out in April. Pre-order now!

My @ala-booklist.bsky.social review of We Are Watching, by @alisongaylin.bsky.social:

Sunflowers are the national flower of Ukraine. Good time to flood social media with them! 🇺🇦

Don't buy shit, write your book

Took the Campaign for the American Reader's page 69 test for WE ARE WATCHING -- and the results were interesting. page69test.blogspot.com

for the AM crowd of readers:

This makes my entire day!!! Thank you, @jeffabbott.bsky.social!!

Movie you've watched more than six times, gifs only

Cannot wait for this amazing and important book (by one of the best writers out there!)

This book is so great! Also, I'm not usually one to be shocked by twists, but in this case... WOW.

Thanks to @airmail.news and Lisa Hendricksson for this amazing review!

I’ll be @mysteriousbookshop.com tonight at 6 pm talking to pal & hero @meganabbott.bsky.social about SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET. Hope to see you there!
