We had Thanksgiving dinner yesterday (for family schedule reasons) and I'm really confused today.

Anyway, happy Thanksgiving everybody!

So we're visiting family and grandma pulls out a box with old baseball cards to give us and--

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social, is that you?!?!

Apparently we now have a full set of Star Wars cards from 1977...

Help Luke if you can!!!
Hey everyone. Hate that I have to post this. My dog was hit by a car tonight and suffered a shattered leg and damage to her intestines. Surgery and medical expenses are roughly $20,000. It’s been a rough year and anything helps.

My father-in-law knows what my favorite beer is and makes sure their fridge is stocked with it every time we visit.

Yes, I do know how lucky I am.

Thank you, David! In my 1984-set novel THAT OCTOBER, six high school friends try to solve the murder of a classmate and kidnapping of another.

It's a huge-budget all-star disaster movie about the Chicago Fire. It's called Mrs. O'Leary's Cow.

It's been living in my head for almost twenty years now and if I had the power to make it I would and it would be awesome.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Me: Let's go.
My wife: Yes, let's.

(They have not gone.)

We should correct this. We'll be in NYC next month.
Hard to believe. Then again, this play warps time, so I have no idea what time it is at any given point.

This is why I love social media.
I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts).

I’m not an archaeologist, nor do I really know anything about shoes, but let’s go on this journey together.
can't believe this ancient mesopotamia shoe wearing ass said people need to dress up at the airport

I've never pretended I make money from the books. 😁

I just started writing seriously a few years ago, but I was a professional actor/director for a long time, so I'm used to not making money. 🤣

I teach, tutor, and try to make a few bucks telling stories when I can.

How's that working out? I've been considering that line of work myself.

It still feels surreal that people connected with the first book, and I'd love to give something back.

If this post hits 500 shares, I'll make the Beyond The Mark eBook free for all of December.

No catch, just a thank you for the support and a push to keep me writing.

Just got my copy!
I haven’t advertised this in awhile, but there’s a free (with optional but unexpected donation) short story featuring a young Fhinbar Bladcros and his duel with Ronnell Oberlan, Ordan’s father.

I think you will enjoy it even if you’ve never read my work!
