Last day to preorder House of Bone and Rain at @barnesandnoble.bsky.social and get 25% off! Here’s a blurb that reads like a poem from the great Richard Chizmar. Anyway, preorders are crucial! Many thanks. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/house-of-b...

Let me save you some time: all those Appalachian writers you know? They think that dude’s book sucks. And they’re right. Go read David Joy, Leah Hampton, Ron Rash, Silas House, and Crystal Wilkinson. You know, for starters. You’re welcome.

Flying out early tomorrow morning. Who will I see at Necon?

If you’re involved in publishing, you’re always waiting for something.

I could use some help spreading the word.

I wanted a nomination rock. Three years later, I’d get that rock and something else. Won the Shirley Jackson Award a year ago and it’s still hard to believe. Anyway, stick with it. Seriously. That’s the only thing: don’t quit.

T-minus 22 days! The storm is almost here. You can preorder at @BNBuzz and get 25% off right now using code PREORDER25. Anyway, here’s a cool thing @mulhollandbooks made with Mariana Enriquez’s amazing blurb. 🖤 www.barnesandnoble.com/w/house-of-b...

We all need it again, so I’m bringing this back: 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 That thing 🕯 you’ve been 🕯 waiting for 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

Today is a good day to remember that sometimes the best thing you can do for your mental health is stay away from social media. Go read. Write. Watch a movie. Go for a walk. Get some tacos. Text a friend. Whatever. Take care of yourself.

Brain matter! Love it.

I don’t think this one’s gonna end well.

Crocus purple. Science blue. Brandy punch. Wasabi. Fandango. Heliotrope purple. Bull shot. Outrageous orange. Cloud burst. Old gold. Dusty rose. Deep blush. Geraldine. Luminous cyan. Opera mauve. Mango tango. Amethyst smoke. Yeah, color names is my new hyperfixation.

This was interesting. I was one of the 503 people who were part of this massive project at the New York Times. I agree with some and disagree with others, but it’s worth a read. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

You’re welcome!

That was a WEEK, wasn’t it? Go ahead and buy those books. You earned them.

Publishing is rough, but it has taught me patience, the importance of perseverance, and it constantly gives me opportunities to work on my anger management. I’m thankful for all of it.

😆🖤

Count me in!

What what? Talk about a surprise... Not only an awesome article in Esquire by the amazing Gabino Iglesias ( @gabino.bsky.social ) but one that features a photo from me!? www.esquire.com/ente...@gabino.bsky.social ) but one that features a photo from me!? www.esquire.com/ente...

Does America Still Care About Authors?www.esquire.com Once upon a time, writers were celebrities; now, the role of the public intellectual has gone up in smoke. For one novelist, a glamorous trip to France showed what literary life back home could be like.

“My whole book club hated your book. It was my selection.” Thanks for letting me know, lady. I don’t give a fuck. Whatever they hated—the violence, the Spanish, the trans character—I’m gonna keep doing. Actually gonna do all of it harder. Have a nice day and thanks for reading!

Thirteen years ago! That’s a long time. I had some fun as a photojournalist, but even then all I wanted was to write for a living.

My review of Laura Van Den Berg’s State of Paradise is now up at @npr.org. www.npr.org/2024/07/10/n...

'State of Paradise' effortlessly blends the commonplace and the extraordinarywww.npr.org With exquisite prose, smart lines on every page, a building sense of growing strangeness tinged with dread, and surprises all the way to the end, this might be Laura van den Berg's best novel so far.
