Thrilled to announce my debut novel Billy the Kid (Oct 15 @BlackstoneAudio). It’s about the gunslinger and the political machine that turned an orphan into an outlaw. Think western-meets-organized crime! @donwinslow a.co/d/4FAzmj1

I’m obviously biased but CRIME 101 is a terrific crime thriller that audiences and critics agree is great. Support the types of movies you want to see get made!

@Jon_Finkel You got one!

HUGE NEWS: The Official Bear Brawl Summary is OUT and the PRE-ORDERS are UP! All 28,000 Books & Biceps readers got the sneak preview last night. Pub day is November 10th, 2026. The race to release day for the #1 Thriller of 2026 starts today. No cover yet. Just a placeholder... But what me and @BlackstoneAudio are cooking up will blow your mind! I promise! Plus, a placeholder cover's not gonna stop the B&B crew from getting in early. We got tons of pre-orders last night from the OGs... Now it's your turn... Here's the summary (and link to pre-order below it). Fight Club meets The Revenant in Bear Brawl, a heartfelt revenge-and-redemption story perfect for fans of Jaws and Rambo. Brick Bridger, 6'6", 265 pounds, is a two-time NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion, BJJ black belt and winner of eight fights in the UFC before retiring from a knee injury to run his own wrestling academy in his home state of Arkansas. One summer night, he's running fifteen minutes late to his mom's BBQ at their family cabin and disaster strikes. A rogue 450-pound black bear goes on a rampage, breaks into the cabin, kills his mom and puts his brother in a wheelchair. Brick is devastated. Torn apart with guilt. He believes in his heart if he had been there on time he could've stopped the bear. From that moment forward, Brick vows to get revenge on the beast. No guns. No knives. No weapons. By enlisting the help of a top zoologist, his old wrestling coach and his training partner and brother, Brick goes on a quest to get inside the mind of a bear while training to track and take down the fearsome animal. This is what happens when a mountain of a man with a black belt fights a black bear. Bear Brawl takes readers on a blockbuster adventure with heart-pounding scenes, humor, heart, bear history, William Faulkner (you'll see), and family. Dropping into the action from the first sentence, the pages fly by, covering tracking, training, fighting, philosophy, pain, grief, love and a cast of unforgettable characters you'll root for like you're watching your favorite action movie. Pre-order. Share. Link below:

@Jon_Finkel And one upcoming on February 13: CRIME 101, based on a Don Winslow novella, with Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Barry Keoghan, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Corey Hawkins, and Nick Nolte!

@MattNorlander Has anyone ever had a retractable roof but they open/close it based on opponent? Like if GB is coming to town, you know they’re used to the cold so you close it and hope Caleb goes off. But if the Miami Dolphins are in town and it’s -5 outside, you leave it open?

It's so discouraging how Chicago Bears management is dead set on eventually building a new stadium that will be entirely indoors—against the will of so many fans. Win or lose, this is beautiful. This is how football should be played in the winter.

The Bears reaction videos are like GoT when Arya flies at the Night King—Wild cheers!—then he grabs her throat—oh shit!—then she finally kills him—eruption!

So the Bears pulled off an incredible comeback—giving me, my dad, and the rest of our family a heart attack along the way—AND the trailer for CRIME 101, based on my friend Don Winslow’s excellent book, was shown during the game. What a night!

I can attest that @Lou_Berney CROOKS is a phenomenal (and fun!) read. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

@adrianmckinty This is hands down the best AUDIOBOOK I’ve ever listened to. Ray Porter nails it. Highly highly recommend listening to it (over reading it).

after my recent fiasco w my book group (see tweets from a couple of weeks ago) today w a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead I'm recommending this which I also recommend (again) to you lot; even if you're not a hard s/f person I believe you'll like this one 👍

A brave and helpful discussion from my friend David (and this episode comes with the wonderful Tammy too!). Thanks for sharing, David.

@BobBallouSports As a UT grad, I really hope we get in but completely understand if we don’t. Florida game a real tough outcome to defend. (And hi, Bob! Best to the family).

Texas is the most unique case in the CFP committee’s history. You can go in circles saying yes or no to the Longhorns and both make sense. #HookEm

@cheo_coker There is a Lucy Mancini subplot in The Godfather novel that is WILD.

The Godfather and Fellowship Of The Ring.

The novella is awesome. This script is great. The cast is phenomenal. The director is incredible. Can’t wait to see this February 13.

Thank you, Craig! If you do read it, I’d love to know what you think.

Thanks, Andrew. I really hope you enjoy it.

@AnatoliUkraine @donwinslow Thank you so much! Awfully kind of you.

@donwinslow @R_C_Coleman Love it. Real history, real storytelling — that’s how legends stay alive. Congrats to @R_C_Coleman for keeping the Wild West wild. 🤠📚

Big congratulations to my friend and fellow #TheStoryFactory author @R_C_Coleman on his debut novel BILLY THE KID: THE WAR FOR LINCOLN COUNTY being selected as a Finalist in the Historical Fiction category for the NM Book Awards! nmwriters.org/nm-book-awards/

Great @CrimeReads interview with @Lou_Berney on his new (and absurdly fantastic) novel CROOKS. disq.us/t/4vlusba

@hayescarll Awesome! Any way to get a full version of the song?

Still reliving this show. A bunch of little moments added up to something kind if magical. (apologies to Robert Earl Keen for making up new names for his characters - I was nervous.)

@T_J_Newman @Lou_Berney For real. And this one is PHENOMENAL

Lou Berney does not miss. Happy pub day to truly one of the best!!! @Lou_Berney
