#Turtle power! 🐢

It's a great day to be alive! Thank you all for the greetings and good wishes. 🥳❤️

Happy Birthday, Patricia Cornwell! (Mine was yesterday. Coincidence? I think not!) Meeting you was one of the great thrills of my life. 🥳

The greatest gifts are ones like these. 😊❤️

#FridayReads: Liv Constantine's DON'T OPEN YOUR EYES (Penguin Random House 🐧🏠📚) -- about a mother whose hard won domestic contentment is threatened when her nightmares begin coming true. WTF is going on? I'd tell you but then I'd have to ... well, you know. 😍📚

Seventeen years married (and twenty-three together). Chelsey, you are my happy ever after ... ❤️

#AmWriting ☕️💻

Both Patricia Cornwell and I had birthdays last week and the gifts keep coming (at least for me)! The new #Scarpetta, SHARP FORCE (Grand Central Pub) -- in which a serial killer known as the "Phantom Slasher" is stalking the streets of Virginia -- will be out 10/7. Don't moss it!😍📚👻

I'll raise a glass -- more specifically, a #mojito-- to #ThirstyThursday! Cheers.

Happy Birthday, Chef alex guarnaschelli! Today, I made your mom's favorite, Cannoli-Rum Cake (recipe: ITALIAN AMERICAN FOREVER). Here's hoping the year ahead is full of delectable surprises! 🥳🎂

#SignatureSundays: Julie Clark's THE GHOSTWRITER (Sourcebooks) -- my favorite suspense novel of the year (so far) and an instant NY Times bestseller! Thanks to Bank Square Books for the inscribed copy. And stay tuned to CrimeReads for my interview with the author ... 😍📚✍️🔥

Commence liquification.

When the lovely folks at the Enfield Public Library asked me to present about true crime, I thought it would be fun to invite a (surprise) friend ... marcia clark

For our reading pleasure: Dwyer Murphy's THE HOUSE ON BUZZARD'S BAY (Viking Books) -- a tantalizing slow burner about a group of longtime friends who reunite only to see their ties unraveling as a series of unsettling events cause them to question one another and themselves. 😍📚

Night sky. #Sunset

Where are my paperback peeps? TRIAL BY AMBITION is a Limited Time Deal! Get it while it lasts ...

The long wait is over! Ang Pompano's BLOOD TIES AND DEADLY LIES -- the second entry in his Agatha Award-nominated Blue Palmetto Detective Agency Series -- is out today from Level Best Books. Ang isn't only a great writer but a great guy. I'm honored to call him a friend.

Wednesday #woodpecker. Is that a thing? Because it should be. 😆 #Birds

#IKnow. Thanks to Small Town Weirdo ™ for celebrating Jennifer Love Hewitt's Julie James. It's #July4th ... and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER.

#SignatureSundays: the great and generous Wally Lamb's THE RIVER IS WAITING (Simon & Schuster). He is always worth the wait. Thanks to RJ Julia Booksellers for the hookup! 😍📚✍️
