Ending up with Mary Steenburgen is a perfect ending.

I'll be in my office.

What is a Ghost Show? Well, it’s a novel by me and other things I’ve mentioned GHOST SHOW, my unpublished novel set in 1948, a few times on social media. I wrote the book between writing SEVEN ANGELS and THAT OCTOBER and I never expected it to be publishe…

A ghost. A haunted theater. A serial killer. Young people coming of age. Infidelity. Gangsters. A Lugosi character. Gypsies. President Harry Truman.

My novel GHOST SHOW is a lot. I think we'll publish it later this year.

Thanks, Nathan! As a former smoker, I very much enjoyed your story "Love and Let Die"! I've always said that, if the world was ending in 3 weeks, I'd take up smoking again.

Good Heavens, what a cover. Thank you @frankvatel312.bsky.social. This latest collaboration between me and @meproctor.bsky.social bursts out of the stables @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social on April 17th. It's a sometimes brutal road trip for our two heroes.

Council announces Dolly Parton day to honour reading scheme Renfrewshire Council voted to celebrate the musical icon and literacy advocate on her birthday going forward with 'Dolly Day.'

A "reading scheme" is the best possible scheme to commit.

I've had my first colonoscopy, and that is a weird fever dream of line-up.

I'm gonna need to learn all the details of this scheme. Purely for creative writing reasons, of course...

See, if they had even one literature major on the team, they'd have anticipated that trap.

Got my e-proof!

I was really just in it for Pete.

My exemption in the War on Cars

Do none of the contestants actually watch the other cast members' prior work?!?!?!

Okay but I predicted the winner of that show as soon as the cast was announced.

It would be interesting if there's research to back up that number! I always remember that blog post when I see polling numbers.

Back in the days of yore, the blog Kung Fu Monkey theorized what they called the "27% crazification factor" and it's proven pretty accurate.

Got to do something on my trip I never thought I would get to do. The kids all bought copies of the Stone’s Throw anthology with my story and asked me to sign them. Thank you @rhppress.bsky.social for publishing! I’m not crying, you’re crying!

Congratulations, Tammy!! 🎉🎉🎉

My family doesn't understand why my ringer is never on but THIS is why!!
