Edgar-Award winning author of The Female of the Species and Heroine. Upcoming: Under This Red Rock. Banned in a lot of places. Okay with that.
This is a good example of what all your selfies look like when you have a Dalmatian.

Post-thanksgiving activities. I’ll probably aim to do this in every major shopping day in the future.

My buddy Natalie D. Richards and I both write dark, terrible, murder mysteries where horrible things happen. But when we talk about them, it's funny. We're complicated people. #ALAN #NCTE

Met Henry Winkler last night!! Thank you @thurberhouse for the opportunity! I use Henry as my social media litmus test - if my feed starts getting too dark, I follow him and the algorithm promptly cleanses itself.

It’s always a toss up what’s going to be in my backseat any given day.

I put together a #booksivewritten post! This covers 26 years of my writing, from age 19 to (almost!) 45. Short stories aren't included.
No, I won't tell you my pen name.

I mark favorite passages in books that I read, so seeing students who have done the same with my titles is pretty incredible!

Did the Fatal 40 workout this morning. 400m run to begin, then 400m run after each movement, total distance 3.5 miles: Still alive.

This is my luggage, a present for my confirmation at age 13. I asked for a shotgun. I got this and a Bible. I’ve never leveled up. I enjoy checking into 5 star hotels with it, especially when it still has some bird shit on it from errant visitors in the attic.
