TRAIN DREAMS, directed by Clint Bentley and starring Joel Edgerton, is based on the novella by Denis Johnson.
It’s a beautiful film, and heartbreaking, one that’s going to stay with me for a long time.

I was stoked to get the chance to be on the @thedadlitpod and chat with Dan.
To merge the roles of a parent, writer, and reader is super cool, and Dan has a knack for finding interesting ways to discuss them.

Happy release to @crimewritermatt , whose novel SECOND LIES THE SON is now available in paperback.
I’m a huge fan of Phillips’ A GOOD RUSH OF BLOOD and TO BRING MY SHADOW.
Congrats, man! Can’t wait to read your new one! (Great title, by the way)

I think it was Ray Bradbury who said, “Touch the manuscript every day.”
I believe in this, even if it’s only for 20 minutes. Stay in it.

The red sun rose over wide fields and long haul trucks navigated the road as I listened to Josh Brolin’s memoir on audio.
“Parents are the bones we (kids) cut our teeth on, but they never talk about the parents’ own teeth.”

@joelnedecky.bsky.social’s THE BROKEN DETECTIVE details a two-week period in which PI Jake Joelsen tries to complete a missing-persons case before heading to prison for assault, pulling together enough money to make sure his mother is cared for during his absence.
