Having had a number of people tell me I should do a @YouTube channel to talk books and such, it doesn't seem a viable option when, apparently, #Youtube uses AI garbage and shuts folks down for no reason. AI has screwed up @facebook massively so there seems no point. kevintipplescorner.blogspot.com

Billed as a "gritty police procedural," this first of a series releases on 11/11 from Thomas & Mercer. Read it via #NetGalley and will have my review run on publication day.

So, after waiting over 70 days pre publication for this book and being ignored by @StMartinsPress over on @NetGalley, I got the eBook via the Dallas Library and the Libby/OverDrive system last night around 8. Read almost half of it today. Am enjoying.

After trying since June 23rd to get FRAMED in DEATH by J. D. Robb aka @AuthNoraRoberts via @NetGalley, I just pulled my request. Did that so that when @StMartinsPress does the auto denial, I don't get dinged. No #PublicationDay #Review from me. I tried, folks. #Booksky
