The Vermont Book Shop (two words, always two words) in Middlebury no longer sells these cycling jerseys, but I sure do love mine. “Eat, read, ride.” I’m a super fan of the booksellers there, and the whole vibe of the shop.

Surprise! Look what went on sale today -- my new short story (and audio) THE SKYDIVERS! Free with Amazon Prime or $1.99 without. Let me know what you think! @amazonpublishing.bsky.social

I always love reading the New York Times Book Review on Sunday morning. But I especially love it when there is a wonderful review of one of my novels. Deepest thanks to the editors at the NYTBR, critic Alida Becker, and @doubledaybooks.bsky.social

It rained all day today. It poured. So, I baked 48 chocolate chips cookies, stress-baking because I could not ride my bike. I also wrote 2,111 words of a new novel. The cookies, however, are WAY better.

“Come Saturday morning…”

Vermont: we’re not just deer. (Photo by my lovely bride Victoria Blewer when we were walking.)

SO grateful to the brilliant journalist @kenpicard.bsky.social and @sevendaysvt.bsky.social for this lovely review of THE JACKAL'S MISTRESS: "The Jackal's Mistress gallops ahead with cinematic pacing and intensity." @doubledaybooks.bsky.social www.sevendaysvt.com/arts-culture...

Really honored to see MIDWIVES on this list of Oprah's Book Club's Best Thrillers and Mysteries. Thank you. Also? I love the company! @doubledaybooks.bsky.social www.msn.com/en-us/entert...

Your pup-on-a-rock pic.

Yes, I loved ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK. You will, too. @crownpublishing.bsky.social

So excited to see my amazing Grace Experience as Ruth in “Miracle on South Division Street” at Penguin Rep in Stony Point, NY. It opens June 6. What’s your miracle? #theater #drama

Nugget, being Nugget.

Color me grateful! @prhaudio.bsky.social

Always honored when folks send me photos of my books “in the wild.” Yesterday, I was sent two from stores (Alas!) I rarely get to visit — and about as far apart as you can get in the lower 48! Thanks to Powell’s in Portland, Oregon and the Brewster Book Store on Cape Cod @doubledaybooks.bsky.social

Just Nugget being helpful on another #caturday .

Nugget is so helpful when I write… #caturday

The face Jesse offers whenever my lovely bride or I leave her. No toy ever distracts her. #pitbulls #rescuedogs

Yes, I loved GOOD MATERIAL. Read it AND listened to the audio. @aaknopf.bsky.social

If you read one thing tonight…. #trump apple.news/Aa_DnsoU1TPO...

A Chicago newspaper ran an AI-generated list of big summer books, many of which don’t exist. Most on point? A novel by Andy Weir about an AI-model gaining consciousness. Unsure which will kill humans first: stupidity or the robots.

See? Vermont really is WAY more than deer!

Vermont: we’re not just deer. Spotted on today’s frigid bike ride. 🦚

A reader pointed out to me that one-sixth of my novels are historical fiction. Which one is your favorite, may I ask? #bookstagram #historicalfiction #romance #witches #worldwar2 #worldwar1 #safari

My readers never cease to amaze me. This kind person posted this on my Facebook page today.

Jesse’s little mini me, Nugget.

Read THE NAMES now. You'll thank me. @florenceknapp.bsky.social @pameladormanbooks.bsky.social
