Using part of this weekend to plan my goals for March. I think I'm going to take a break from my novels and get some short stories out of my head.

I'm so sick of the line that we're doing this to bring "peace" to the Middle East. #quotes #antiwar #georgecarlin #comedians

Our current government and at least a portion of our population romanticize war instead of viewing it as last resort. I highly recommend reading Jimmy Carter's 2002 Nobel Peace Prize speech, as history is repeating before our eyes.

Years after being tormented in middle and high school, I learned one of my bullies faced much worse at home. It's no excuse, but it did change my perspective, and it became a major theme in A VIOLENT MAN, the 3rd book of my #noir series on a generation ship. βš‘οΈπŸ“šπŸ’™ πŸͺπŸ“š πŸš€

It was one of my favorite books of last year. S.A. Cosby is fantastic.

A quote from one of my favorite Stephen King books. As valid today as it was in 1991.

Mutual taste in literature doesn't necessarily mean mutual taste in genres. My wife and I like to sit near each other and read books on opposite ends of the genre spectrum.

What are your deep cut books that you don't think get enough love? Looking for hidden gems in the #literary, #mystery, #noir, and #crimefiction genres specifically.

Puddle People by Eamonn Bradley is weird, unsettling, and darkly humorous.

Hats off to Lisa Regan for being able to make the Josie Quinn novels explore extremely dark subjects but still giving a cozy vibe.
Let me know if you have any recommendations for a similar series!

#TBRTuesday I have a few dystopia novels in my backlog, but I can't bring myself to read them right now. I used to love that sub-genre and now I think it would just piss me off. Anyone else feeling this? #readers

Check out Puddle People by Eamonn Bradley! A Scifi body horror about a genius inventor trying to change the world, Puddle People takes a fun dive into serious questions like, what is the value of a human vs humanity?

This is a great way of describing one of my favorite character arc #tropes. Love when a protagonist (or antagonist) goes against his morals for a loved one or greater good. #readers #crimefiction #noir #quote #quotes

What publishers provide, what they don’t, and why authors still need their own marketing strategy.

If you're suspicious there is a cabal of wealthy people manipulating the world with the help of supernatural powers, The House Rules by Calvin Naraghi is for you. If you're not, then there's still a cool mad scientist, body horror subplot.

Nah, he's in Philadelphia, all he sees is the back of the next set of row houses. He likes to listen to the city.

I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to read, review, and spread the word about Menagerie. Your support has kept me motivated and energized as I work on what will hopefully be my first novel.

My MC lives on the second floor of a row house. He climbs out his bedroom window to smoke weed on the roof of the back patio.
