So obviously, someone like Childers who looks, sounds, and claims to be thoroughly representative of his Appalachian roots is, on a social level, he's not close to fully representative because his ethics are a form of leftist (or you could say culturally Marxist) colonization.

The Hap and Leonard books influenced my Henry Malone novels as well as the novel I'm querying. Pound for pound, there's almost no writer who carries the same storytelling muscle as Lansdale.

@RobSmith3 I'm fairly certain we all had that blue suit, brother. Somewhere there's a photo of me in one, with a cereal-bowl haircut. It was a dark time.

We should also bring up the time he called Sisters in Crime "a negative, flawed concept" as well as "a divisive organization" and "some of its members are strident and achingly boring on the subject of sexism." 3/x

My writing career is a study in getting away with it. Got an email today that checked off a box for something I've wanted since I was 15. It's a good goddamn day to keep taking your swings, y'all.

Y'all, I got a story in this and I'm fucking *psyched* for it! Getting the chance to explore Beau's universe was fun as hell, and hope folks dig my contribution to Bishop Rider's legend.

Is it too much to ask that they were together in a car that caught fire and plunged into the ocean, and they all died slowly and suffered greatly?

The book of summer dropped today. @blacklionking73 continues to elevate the crime-writing game. Tight and brutal, incisive and thrilling, birth southern gothic and psychological thriller, this one confirms Shawn as one of the best writers working, genre be damned.

So then why, in the wake of the changing face of crime fiction where Otto is very much the dinosaur and everyone else is the meteor, is Bouchercon giving him such a platform? Because he's old? Because he's white? Because he's got a venerated bookstore? 7/x

No one thinks about story or writing as deeply or as differently as @jordan_harper . Compound this with him being one of the nicest people in the crime fiction community, and this is a must-listen.

We can't believe we had him on either. New episode with @jordan_harper talking about his ridiculously incredible line up of work, particularly Everybody Knows, some late stage capitalism rants, and writing the story only you can create.

Rewatching TERRIERS—again—and damn if the chemistry between Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James wasn't great from the pilot. They bounce off of each other perfectly, and always feel like just two guys trying to get by. There's artistry in making something seem so natural.

"What a writer must enjoy, or at least be able to tolerate, is the utterly solitary nature of the work...(W)riting is a matter of sitting alone at a desk, staring more often than not at a blank wall, and turning thoughts into words and putting the words on paper." @LawrenceBlock

Here's one of those signed contacts. Honored to share a TOC with heavy hitters like @Curtis9980 , @HollyWest , @RobSmith3 , @jtbutkowski , @MaryThorson6429 , @BamaWriter ... The list goes on. It's all killer, no filler. My story "Ashes" is pure anger and vengeance. Hope y'all dig it.

My novel THE LAST KING OF CALIFORNIA, a dark and dare I say literary pulp novel set in the aftermath of the Edgar-Award winning SHE RIDES SHOTGUN, will come out in the US this fall. I think it's my best prose to date and I'm awful proud of it.

One of the best things about writer friendships is reading each other's work and catching the inside jokes. It's a street name or a character reference, and 12 people might get the joke, but they're gonna laugh hard when they do.
