I’m a big fan of Westerns. My debut novel, FIRST BLOOD (Rambo), was inspired by Westerns and my Western novel, LAST REVEILLE, was inspired by Sam Peckinpah’s classic Western movie, THE WILD BUNCH. davidmorrell.net/books/last-rev…

@KennethMGRAY2 Thanks. At the end of the OPIUM EATER e-book there's a photo essay about the locations where the mostly-real events occurred.

@_DavidMorrell My favorites as well. I Have the Opium-Eater: A Thomas De Quincey Story on my Kindle as well.

The last of my March Madness Birthday Book Buying Binge has arrived. What a great series to own and reread. The Thomas De Quincey historical thriller series by @_DavidMorrell

@MartinRoyHill Ha. I'm amazed by how the scammer chooses a long-ago-published book as if it were released last month.

@_DavidMorrell I get those scam emails all the time. Once I got one from "Ernest Hemingway." I responded I was delighted to find him alive after ... well, you know. The sender had no idea what I meant.

Authors, a reminder about the scam warning from International Thriller Writers. Similar scams come to me through my website, praising my work in AI robotic language, then telling me how they can promote me for a fee. mailchi.mp/thrillerwriter…? e=xiVCUpgBiC

@Palladiotypist MURDER AS A FINE ART was optioned for a streaming series. The script for the first episode is wonderful. We're waiting to learn if any of the streaming facilities will acquire it from the production company. Here's the back of a postcard about the books.

@_DavidMorrell Please pardon my ignorance, but can you update us on the possible TV series of Murder as a Fine Art?

Here’s a look at my writing room in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The kiva fireplace and hand-hewn vigas on the ceiling are elements of traditional Santa Fe style.

Here’s a link to my photo essay about London’s Magnificent Crystal Palace, one of nine that I wrote about the fascinating locations in my Victorian mystery/thriller series. To research the novels, I went to many of the places that still existed. davidmorrell.net/the-magnificen…

@DaveBuzan It's a commercial version of the one that was used in RAMBO II. Not the original.

@_DavidMorrell My eyes go STRAIGHT to that bow!

@judypancoast Yep. Sorely missed.

@_DavidMorrell I adored his writing. “Summer of Night” affected me deeply.

Here’s the New York Times obituary for my friend, esteemed author Dan Simmons.  I spoke to the obituary writer for a while. I’m touched that  my comments are included.  A one-of-a-kind author. Sorely missed. nytimes.com/2026/03/11/boo…

@collins_daman It's a poster for one of my books.

@_DavidMorrell The picture by the file cabinet, is that marchinko

@Roger_Weston It's quiet. Wonderful Santa Fe architecture.

@_DavidMorrell Looks like a great place to write.

@KennethMGRAY2 @NathanBorn2010 Ha

@NathanBorn2010 @_DavidMorrell At my age it's best to let them slip by quickly. 🤣

@JohnTures2 I don't think it'll have wide distribution in theaters.

@_DavidMorrell Kiva! Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the movie debut! I hope it plays in Georgia.

@james37144 Ha

@MartinRoyHill The window is higher than my eyeline. I don't have much to distract to me. A previous owner Edward T Hall (a cultural anthropologist) had it built for him in the 1960s. His books include THE SILENT LANGUAGE.

@_DavidMorrell How do you write in such a neat and orderly office? ;)

“Riveting! I literally thought I was in 1855 London. With this mesmerizing series, David Morrell doesn’t just delve into the world of Victorian England—he delves into the heart of evil...” —Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author davidmorrell.net/books/inspecto…

@jtLOL @kingfizure Agreed. A genius.

@_DavidMorrell @kingfizure I grew up near Wabash College, which he credited for his love of literature, and got to see him speak there many years ago. He was a genius.

Last week's London Book Fair drew 33,000 visitors & 1,000 exhibitors, showing signs of a healthy market. Anti-AI signs were on display, too—10,000 authors organized a protest against firms using their work to train AI models without permission or payment. publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/in…
