I always start the writing day by reading an excellent writer for a half hour or so. It jump starts my artistic engine. Today’s reading was THE WIND BEGAN TO HOWL by @LairdBarron Worked real well. Published by @Bad_Hand_Books https://t.co/ibugKoa1Cm

Zora Neale Hurston *demolishing* Alain Locke after he panned Their Eyes Were Watching God is a masterpiece. From: You Don’t Know Us Negroes and Other Essays. https://t.co/QbNQRDa8t0

Take a break from that lit world scandal to read my review of a wonderful new novel, REPRIEVE by James Han Mattson. It’s about a “full contact haunted house” and a whole lot more. https://twitter.com/jhmattson/status/1445879534541283329

Happy pub day to two writers I admire so much. Picked up my copies today. THE STRANGE by Nathan Ballingrud & THE UNDERTOW by Jeff Sharlet. Pick them both up! @NBallingrud @JeffSharlet https://t.co/rvL8VHp16B

Through our sons I’ve come to love the “Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales” series. Fully rendered history with a sense of humor, they’re perfect.
