My heart is broken.

🤣🤣🤣

Believe it or not, L.A. has a huuuge book festival every year. Lots of great authors and, of course, celebrities hawking their tell-alls and children's picture books (what's with that phenomenon?). And, in Booth 360, Teal Section, there's me and a half-dozen other Mystery Writers of America, SoCal chapter authors, meekly trying to sell our books. For one hour. I'll be there the 18th, 10 AM. Stop by for your free bookmarks!

Folklore has it that you must say "rabbit rabbit" as the very first words of the new month, in order to summon good fortune. Given how things are going, I suggest saying as many "rabbits" as you can. #rabbitrabbit

Exactly how my week is going.

@Richard_Kadrey Well, crumbs. But, I shall chose gratitude and be thankful for the two terrific Coop heists we have rather than prepare to ride at dawn for your publisher's office. (Granted, I can't do much of anything at dawn anymore.)

@MostOkayMcKay I'd outlined a third book, but the first two didn't sell well enough for my publisher to want another.

The second Coop novel, THE WRONG DEAD GUY, is just $1.99 for Kindle. It has mummies, Dr. Lupinsky (the kitty robot), a magic elephant, plus the Extra-Confidential Inscrutabilis Unit (the less said about that place the better). amazon.com/Wrong-Dead-Ano…

I would like an emotional support dragon, please and thank you.

Made me think of you, oh adorable @lufflyLu!

This series is a hell of a lot of fun, and the second book is on sale for only $1.99. Get you to buying!

😅😅

@GonzotheCat1 Happy Birthday, Gonzo! Of course you will get treats today. Well, every day, really. A good boy always deserves treats. 💚💚

It's my 14th birthday today! I'm going for a little walk now but I'll be back later. Maybe I'll get a treat if I'm a good boy. 😺🎂

@PickliciousF Your mummy will pick you up twice as much when she is able to, sweet Miss Pickle. Just be patient and rest those feeties for now. Maybe you and Mummy can have a trial run of a new event in the Picklelympics: Marathon Napping!

What’s a little cat supposed to do when their mummy isn’t allowed to pick them up for a while?? I’m exhausted from walking round everywhere on my poor dainty feeties.

For this, my aching knees would do stairs.

@lufflyLu Do we have to? Can't we just have a nice cup of tea and go back to bed? 😬

Is Aces the same, @Richard_Kadrey?

Aussi c'est moi.

C'est moi.

@Richard_Kadrey I feel that in my bones. For me, it's when the created world has become so vivid, with the characters so realized & demanding that I hustle up, that it can be dicey trying to remember exactly who is in charge. (Although they get stuck with the math; that ain't my problem.)

How do I know that I'm almost finished with this book? I can no longer type coherently and my spelling is falling apart. That latter problem happens when I'm holding a book's worth of plot in my head. Something has to fall out and it's always math or spelling.

@PickliciousF #GoodGirl, devoted Miss Pickle! All of us who appreciate your mummy's compassion, talent and wit are grateful for the excellent care you take of her.

Keeping my feeties on my mummy so she can’t go anywhere #TopNurseyCare
