Later today I will be leaving for Bouchercon and this one is special for me. Thirteen years ago I attended my first Bouchercon – in Toronto – as a wide-eyed noob with no publishing credits and some very naive ideas about how long it would take me to get my first novel published. But I […]
I know us Midwestern folks are more prone to think of creepy stories involving blizzards and tornadoes, but I have a piece in this awesome new anthology of Southern Gothic stories that’s on sale today. Buy it now and maybe save it to keep you warm (and haunted) in the dead of winter. Thanks again […]
Bouchercon is quickly coming upon us (though not quickly enough for me as I want to see all of my friends RIGHT NOW – but also, I have a lot that needs to get done between now and then so it’s probably good that we still have some time) and the programming schedule has been […]
For the last several months (truthfully, for the last year or so), my schedule has really started to spin away from me. Deadlines and projects and tasks have been feeling oppressive and overwhelming and my productivity has been a shell of what I know it can be. So after reflecting on what was going on, […]
I get that it’s bad form for authors to claim any one book of their’s as their favorite, and it’s even worse form to talk about how awesome any of their books are (we’re supposed to be humble and self-effacing and all of that crap), but my form’s always been a bit bad. It started […]
After not writing a single short story for almost nine years, I’ve written two this year and it feels great. This one felt particularly good because I hit the deadline on it. I’ve felt very out of sorts professionally and feel like I’ve been behind on everything, but this deadline I hit and I love […]
Now that it’s been printed in the official Mystery Writers of America Annual, I can share the fact that I spent 2016 as an Edgar Awards judge. Due to an iron-clad NDA and personal threat of violence from Margery Flax, I can’t go into detail about the process we went through, but I did want […]
I was in the mall branch of the Ann Arbor District Library the other day and snapped this photo of Murder Boy in the wild. I previously saw a copy in the downtown branch when I was there for an event and I thought I’d talk about why it’s important to me to see my […]
I finished my first short story in almost nine years today and it feels great. This is a story I’ve had in my head for a while and wanted to write, but I’ve mostly been focusing on novels lately and have gotten out of the writing for free game, so options were always going to […]
I’m a web content junkie and I pride myself on the usefulness of this website and the great comments I’ve received from folks on how easy it is to use. Many of the best parts of this site came from ideas generated by Judy Bobalik’s annual Facebook post about it. Judy reads a ton and […]
