two days until TRAITOR'S DANCE is available in the US -- hope that Sam Capra's current fans enjoy the book and that Sam wins many new readers as well. (Suburban dad is a spy) https://t.co/pkRKleDF65 @GrandCentralPub

Begged my mom to buy me paperback of Interview with the Vampire when i was 13 -- and saw it in grocery store line. That font! I loved it. Anne Rice told us it was ok to understand darkness. Her novels about vampires were about what it was to be human. May she rest in peace.

recommended this book to a friend who is starting on her creative writing journey. it's nearly 100 years old but still relevant, as it's not so much about writing technique as it is mindset: Dorothea Brande's Becoming a Writer https://t.co/adH2wtsrvR

"...with calculated violence and the threat of terror ....America is up for grabs....They have done the undermining, the preparing, the hard work for years...Final control must be in Moscow's hands." Helen MacInnes, MESSAGE FROM MALAGA, 1971 (weirdly timely)
