When you have all sorts of things to do before your book launch...but you decide you really need to build a donut hole waterfall. AND IT WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA.

I understand that it's awards nominating season. WE LIVED ON THE HORIZON is eligible for all sorts of science fiction, spec fic, and literary things. It'd be neat if you read it, liked it, and nominated.

But there are *hugely* important things to vote on soon. So. This feels very 🤷‍♂️

’Deported for that?’: Football referee forced to leave Alabama for Mexico Fonzie had to leave behind his fiancée and 18-month-old son in rural Alabama.

@johnarchibald.bsky.social ’s latest on one Alabama man’s deportation, plus numbers I haven’t seen on ICE’s impact in Alabama. A must-read.

“18% of Alabama's 3,300 ICE detainees had criminal convictions in 2025. Of those, about a quarter are jailed for traffic offenses.”

Seriously, Merriam-Webster?! Went looking for synonyms because I hate "middle-aged" and then things got so much worse.

RUBY FALLS | Kirkus Reviews In 1932, a young woman gets entangled in a gruesome murder mystery when a publicity stunt in a deep underground cave goes dangerously awry.

"A hyper-immersive novel that fearlessly explores the darkest, most primal corners of the human heart."

RUBY FALLS gets another starred review, this time from Kirkus!💎 @ginphillips.bsky.social

Starred review from Kirkus!! Very excited, especially about the line "brilliantly brooding imagination." I have never been called "brooding" in my life, so it's a fun new thing.

Glad you loved it! And thank you--that's a high compliment.

Thrilled that RUBY FALLS got a STARRED review in Publishers Weekly! (And delighted by the shout-out to The Frozen River, which I loved.) Side note: I am editing out a big fat spoiler in the review.

On shelves March 3, 2026. 😊

It's true! I'm going to Tempe to talk about the novel, utopia-dystopias, and Asimov's mutton chops (more gazing at them, really). Can't be there in person? Attending online should still let you cackle at the slide on "homogeneity."

Nothing gets you closer to your editor and fellow writers than an inexplicably small Uber XL. This photo doesn't fully capture the impossibility of knees in a back-backseat. #bouchercon

One body. Five suspects.Total darkness.

Set almost entirely underground at the onset of the Great Depression, RUBY FALLS is a twist on the locked-room mystery, as well as an exploration of loss and what it means to start over.
