Cinnamon had so much fun talking like a pirate yesterday, she’s doing an encore for #caturday. Aargh and where are my chicken flavored greenies, me hearty? #cats

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I loved this interview in the Guardian. Now I know for sure why he never writes from Lamb’s pov.

Slow Horses author Mick Herron: ‘I love doing things that are against the rules’

As the hit thriller returns to our screens, its creator talks about false starts, surprise inspirations – and why he never looks inside Jackson Lamb’s head

It does change quickly. My vision is also worse when my eyes are dry. Good luck!

He was amazing. A compelling mixture of ruthlessness and vulnerability.

He comes to NC periodically to do Noir at the Bar here. He’s a great reader of his work. Enjoy Bouchercon!

Been counting the days until CLOWN TOWN drops & I can finally discuss it, because, what a book. I fervently hope I get to see Mick Herron in person someday. In the meantime, this interview will have to do. I especially like his explanation of why poets are such good writers of prose.

Librarians say it’s always easy to answer a question when you already know the answer. Today’s Connections was a little bit like that. There was one category that was key.
