Surprised to learn that my books have been translated for the Russian market. “Serial Killers” was renamed “No One Will Help” and “Serial Killer Next Door” is “Serial Killer Nearby” …which somehow seems less dangerous :) #booksky

Lilith realizes that one of the downsides of me being her human is that she has to listen to me reading to her from history books. #booksky #dogsky #books #dogs

Sometimes it hits me just how surreal my life has become. I’m 52 and topless on national television. My mum thought I’d work in a bank. #booksky

The Penelope-Keith-as-JFK-assassin-via-Russell-Brand farrago somehow manages to be the funniest and most surreal thing we’ve seen in a long time. I encourage you to drop everything and explore this rabbit hole of batshittery to the fullest extent.

Raise a glass to Sir Terry today. It’s a great day to take one of his books off the shelf — or to try one for the first time. #booksky

I’ve served with so many exceptional women over the years, it would take hours to name them all. So I chose one. On International Women’s Day, we remember Firefighter/EMT Brianna Harlow. Rest in peace, Bri. We miss you. #internationalwomensday

It’s 3am, and I want to thank everyone who stayed up with me on Coast to Coast AM tonight, talking about Dark Spirits. The book comes out next week — March 11 — and I’d love to see a copy on your bookshelf. #booksky
