I had a terrific time talking with @WordsmithRich at the Open Mic last week. Rich at I met at Left Coast Crime in Tucson, another great example of how conferences are the best place for mystery fans to connect. Check out his excellent interview series!

Glen Erik Hamilton just started the Van Shaw series, on book 2 now. Never read a pacific northwest series, Seattle is on our list. Thanks for sharing your part of the world in a unique and interesting package.

I’m a huge fan of Lori Rader-Day’s work—Death at Greenway, The Day I Died, et Al—so the day that a new LRD book releases is cause for major celebration!

I had a terrific time at my first Write on the Sound — and looking forward to the next one!

I've been in the writer's version of hibernation thru the summer and fall, just me and the work, and this interview with @JulieHennrikus and Sisters In Crime gets into the guts of why -- we talk business and creative challenges in one of the most in-depth talks I've ever had!

Punkin’ carving, Home Depot Style.

Shocked and distraught to hear of Andre Braugher’s passing. What’s your favorite Braugher performance? (So many, not enough…) For me and many fans of crime fiction, his Pembleton is perhaps the best possible incarnation of the detectives in David Simon’s brilliant book Homicide.

Our daughter is planning a school video essay project on Poker Face’s 1970s aesthetic—so proud that she’s caught the mystery bug. Thanks Olivia Rutigliano/@oliviarutigliano.bsky.social for this terrific interview which Daughter will undoubtedly read while she should be paying attention in class today!

So much fun joining Noir at the Bar with this amazing lineup!

I love this film so much, I wrote an indulgently long essay about it for CrimeReads. Link below!

If you’re hitting any St. Patrick’s Day parades this Sunday, make sure to keep an eye out for this man.

Save the Ark Lodge Cinema! Our local movie house is a delightful place to see first-run movies. Business is recovering after the pandemic, but a rent increase has AL underwater. Donate if you can and come by to take in a show! gofund.me/9d9c8ecc Ark Lodge Cinemas

It's the start of a whole new era! My new A.V. Club column "Women of Action" launches today with my girl Sarah Connor—who's not just a badass in T2, but in the first Terminator as well. avclub.com/women-of-actio…
