Not my own, but a friend of mine almost ran over Henry Rollins while driving to a Henry Rollins show. She met him after the show and he said indignantly, "Hey! You almost ran me over!"

I'm not saying that I believe in astrology, but I am saying that if we're in the transitional stage between the Age of Pieces and the Age of Aquarius, that would explain a lot.

I have a Travis McGee-type fantasy of living on a houseboat but I once got seasick at a nautical museum on a docked ship so I don't think it would go very well.

Here's how your work email finds me on a Friday afternoon.

While buying bathroom cleaner at Mayfair Market one night after work in 1994, I stood behind Keanu Reeves in the checkout line.

Currently reading THE CATCHER IN THE RYE and I can't believe I'd never read this book. Also, Leonardo DiCaprio should've played Holden Caulfield back in the day.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. I’m in very good hands.

Oh, I’ll be fine 😀

I'm VERY excited to see Robert Eggers' take on this one.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. Welp, I guess the synths are coming to save me.

YES!! Congratulations, C.W.! 🎉🎉🎉 Look forward to reading this!

Describe your favorite movie in the most misleading way possible: A future high school science teacher encourages people to give up smoking.

Sara McKinley's gorgeous cover for my book goes nicely with Meghan's pool and accoutrements.

🔥🔥 Oh yeah! Congratulations @paulkwrites.bsky.social

Thrilled and honored to have a story in the July/August 2025 issue of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine! This one began as the origin story for my protagonist in a WIP. Hope y'all enjoy it! Many, many thanks to Jackie Sherbow and everyone at @elleryqueenmm.bsky.social.

You can tell my friend @paulkwrites.bsky.social is a writer because she uses words like “lovely” and “brilliant” in new and creative ways (ie, in reference to me).

By the way, my cover art is by Sara McKinley. She’s saramckinleyart on instagram. Get real artists. Pay real artists! Don’t use AI.

My book by the pool this week is THAT OCTOBER by the lovely and brilliant Keith Roysdon. Look at that gorgeous cover! 😍 Now I just need to get @keithroysdon.bsky.social to sign my copy!! #amreading #summerreading
