@mollsotov89 James M. Cain, The Cocktail Waitress, also a lot of George Pelecanos's early work is set in restaurants in the kitchen. The main character of Vicki Hendrick's Miami Purity works at a dry cleaner.

@MsMonicaFay Walker Percy’s LOST IN THE COSMOS is a fake self help book that ends up being more reflective and helpful than most of the real things. Also, obviously, I’ve been reading a lot of books about brain chemistry and mental illness and just how woefully misunderstood all of it is.

I was really looking forward to VINYL RESTING PLACE by @oliviablacke, so needless to say I was delighted to get it as the selection from @murderbooks and @johnnie_cakes Cozy Book Club https://t.co/s7JwsBEXxI

For a long time it was BEAST IN VIEW by Margaret Millar, but over the last couple of years it’s been IN A LONELY PLACE by Dorothy Hughes, specifically the NYROB version with Megan Abbott’s essay. I’ve read that probably two or three times as much as I’ve read the book. https://t.co/2LeJDcwZHb

@ItsMarkYall And I wasn’t a huge poetry fan, but @DavidJoy_Author turned me on to Jake Skeet and his collection, Eyes Bottle Dark with a Mouthful of Flowers. It blew me away.

A few Tony Awards-inspired career wishes tonight: 1) I think MURDER BOY would make a great musical. If anyone is going to believable about breaking out into song it’s going to be Dominick, 2) I want to write the book of a musical 3) I want a play professionally produced.

Please send me your recommendations for single location thriller novels a la DIE HARD. I’ve read FALLING by TJ Newman, ALPHA by Greg Rucka, and SOFT TARGET by Stephen Hunter recently. I didn’t care for the book DIE HARD was based on, FYI. Recent in the last decade would be great!

I was depressed this morning about how long it's been since I've had a book of my own out, then I remembered poor, neglected TRIGGER SWITCH. It's a mean, nasty, insanity pepper of a novel that got lost in the shuffle of my co-writing stuff. https://t.co/Y4sOYxVEPl

@scottynola @dmalmon They need to take elements from the Grant Morrison All Star Superman run where Super-man is dying of radiation poisoning and creates a To Do list of good things he wants to do for Earth and Kryptonians before he dies
