Michael Northrop
@michaelnorthrop.bsky.social
NY Times–bestselling author of novels, comics, and graphic novels for young readers, starting a new chapter with my 1st mystery series for adults! Rep’d by @saracrowelit.bsky.social. Research editor at Dance Magazine. More coffee, please!
The book haul so far at @necrimebakecon.bsky.social 📚 Murders, a loyal K-9, a touch of Agatha Christie, sure—but I was not expecting Sondheim! #writesky @loriraderday.bsky.social @joshpachter.bsky.social

No one believed me when I said I was putting on real pants, when I said I was leaving the apartment and going somewhere nice for lunch. Well here I am at a strip mall in the Bronx so the joke is on you

There’s a lot of chatter out here on Broadway today. Apparently we elected the socialest mayor? Sweet! Sounds like a party.

Went to a new bodega today & they were rocking the old-school coffee cups. Any other current/former New Yorkers remember these?

Took a long walk down Broadway on a perfect fall day (that also happens to be Halloween)

Sometimes I think about this old TV antenna on upper Broadway. When did TV antennas become gothic? Is someone in there just watching the heck out of CBS? 👴🏻 For all eternity?? 👻

Technically it’s October 27th, but really it’s Souptember 1st—a month that lasts approx. a season-and-a-half 🥣 🍁 😋

I’m getting new author photos taken at @necrimebakecon.bsky.social next month. My other headshots were all for my kids’/YA books, but these will be for my mystery novels and, well, I have some thoughts… #authorlife #writesky #robertbparker

Sometimes I sketch out comic book panels before scripting & you know, we end up hiring professional artists for the pages but I don’t know why 😂 #comicsky #writesky #gotthechops

Filled this bad guy 4/5 with diet soda and 1/5 with regular. Got the meal of the day too. Extra pickles. I am on the lunatic fringe, my friends, at the mouth of madness. Do not try to keep up

For years I thought this place, with its Star Destroyer–sized slices, was called Pizza Heroes. Turns out the sign says that because they sell pizza and heroes. Their name is Pizza Palace. Whatever. They’re still heroes to me. #nyc
