@john_rector @johnhornor @blacklionking73 I read ALREADY GONE when it came out, before I wrote my first book and during one of the darkest periods of my life. It was so lean and well-written and unrelenting that it inspired me to keep on writing during a time when I might have otherwise quit. Thank you for that, John.

A reminder that every time you buy a Shamus-nominated Henry Malone novel, an angel gets its wings. Speaking of angels, SHE TALKS TO ANGELS—my ode to Ross Macdonald and family trauma—is less than five bucks in paperback right now. https://t.co/3MPNogTGDg https://t.co/4YI5WiiYiv

So REAL BAD THINGS by @Kelly_J_Ford is an Amazon First Read if you've got Prime. Folks, Kelly's previous book COTTONMOUTHS is church—a classic piece of southern noir. This one's even better. Get on it. https://t.co/VPH7lRrJCb

@ItsMarkYall I’m an environmentalist; I recycle everything. A chunk of something cut from one book or story may get used into another piece. George Saunders even talks about this, how he’ll cut from a story and then it’ll sprout into something else entire later on.

Kristopher is one of the best folks in the crime community, and I'm thrilled @BOLOBooks is hosting my cover reveal for BECAUSE THE NIGHT—#6 in the Henry Malone novels, and the follow-up to the Shamus-winning BEHIND THE WALL OF SLEEP. Check it out! https://t.co/fh8NhHkEh0

No, the subsequent two seasons never lived up to the promise of the first, but damn if that first season of BLOODLINE isn't almost perfect noir. John Irving meets John D. MacDonald. Lies and money and murder and humidity and family secrets. https://t.co/beOF05RchS

On my third or fourth read (it's SHE RIDES SHOTGUN in the U.S.) and this has been true every time. This book is a goddamn classic. https://t.co/v76oHcfYEe

@Frank_Zafiro @alansklar Haven't read Girl with the Long Green Heart, but it's there waiting. It was @dmalmon who said Grifter's Game had the most devastating ending he'd ever read, so I grabbed a copy. Dan wasn't lying. https://t.co/09QJ55rYdk
