Reminder: Write that thing. Pluck it outta your soul. Hit the keyboard like it owes you money. Write whenever, wherever, however you can. Tell your story. Make the words dance. Whatever you want—a novel, a short story, an agent, a poem, a movie—it all starts with the writing.

Absolutely loving SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE LAKESIDE SUPPER CLUB by @jryanstradal. Minnesota, rival restaurants, love, family, heartbreak, hope. "From door to door, it took exactly fifty-four seconds - the time it takes to make a perfect old fashioned..." Yes, please! #ewgc

My latest book, SOMETHING BAD WRONG, was selected for the Kindle First Reads program for the month of April. This means if you are in that program, you get it for free all month. Otherwise, the big party starts May 1!!! amazon.com/Something-Bad-…

The ultimate sign that someone is a writer is when they have an amazing idea they’re really excited about, and then spend months not writing it.

This book will fuck you up without even buying you dinner first. I’m talking punch you in the face, slit you open before gunning for your heart. The bear’s cute though. Needless to say I loved it. A Lesson In Violence @jordan_harper

A powerful study in setting and character with a healthy dose of horror, LONE WOMEN will forever change the way you think about the Wild West. @oneworldlit @victorlavalle ow.ly/wkuQ30suyJe

Stop glamourising “hustle culture” and start glamourising the Frog and Toad lifestyle.
