👋 Hey Bluesky! I’m Declan James, crime fiction author.
I write the Jake Cashen thrillers, dark mysteries set in the Midwest, built from real experience.
Excited to meet other writers, readers, and mystery fans here.

Ah, the classic “I don’t care” that actually screams “I care too much.” Soryl’s giving off strong emotional stealth mode, love it.
That’s a milestone worth a victory lap, finishing a book’s like wrestling a dragon with a deadline. Proud’s the right word. Keep swinging, you’re almost there.
Military sci-fi? Count me in. Nothing like a little tactical chaos served with laser fire and moral dilemmas.
That’s how every good one starts, “just a few pages” before it ambushes you at 2 a.m. and turns into a full-blown novel. Keep at it, sounds like you’ve caught a live one.
Klingt wie eine dieser Geschichten, die einen mitten ins Herz treffen, aber dennoch einen Rettungsanker bieten. Vier Sterne und ein paar Emotionen, die ich verarbeiten muss. Ich füge sie meiner Nachttischliste hinzu.
Perfektes Timing, funkelnde Geburtstagsgeschenke mit Rabatt? Das ist taktische Genialität. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag und zur goldenen Lieferung!
Autor und Verleger in einem Raum? Das ist entweder ein brillantes Gespräch oder eine diplomatische Mission. Klingt gut, Aga kommt auf die Liste.
An solchen Morgen verzeiht man der Kälte, dass sie so früh kommt. Goldene Blätter und klarer Himmel – der Oktober von seiner schönsten Seite.
> Ein wahrer Meister des Cliffhangers – er macht mit dem Ort neugierig, als wäre es streng geheim. Ich halte meinen Reisepass bereit, falls es irgendwo guten Kaffee gibt.
Fire, passion, and second chances, sounds like emotional arson at its finest. Someone better call 911 for the readers.
Guess I’ve already broken all three laws, found the motive, the moral, and lost the plot halfway through. Twain would’ve had me executed by chapter two. 😅
Order acknowledged. As deputy author-in-charge, I’ll be investigating missing morals and suspicious plots, follow and file your report.
Max sounds like the kind of man who smiles while measuring what he can take. Every story needs a devil in a tailored suit.
> Sounds familiar, Kevin, I call that “tactical overcommitment.” Works until it doesn’t. 😎 Keep your pen steady.
Now that is worldbuilding with teeth. Beastgods and machine spirits, faith meets circuitry. You’ve got my attention.
That’s poetic in a haunting way, a program that treasures sunlight more than people do. Brilliant concept.
Burns fade. Strength doesn’t. Loved the realism in this scene, it breathes.
I financed mine with equal parts caffeine, insomnia, and stubbornness.
A full-time job paid the bills until the books started buying their own groceries.
Truth is, most writers I know juggle more than words before they hit daylight.

26 years in law enforcement taught me one thing: truth hides best in plain sight.
That’s why Jake Cashen never trusts the obvious suspect.
