About to leave on book tour in support of THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL. I might be obsessing over my cat. To wit:
A kitchen table with three notes, all of them, having copious amounts of writing and markups A day by day, checklist of all the chores related to a cats, upkeep and health partially filled out. A page long detailed ordered list with instructions also detailed regarding the feeding litter, care, entertainment, and health of a cat named Jasmine.

I’ve got 3 more books finished but as yet unpublished and another half done bringing the total to 16.5. If only I hadn’t developed mid-life attention deficit disorder

If you count a chapbook I released early in my career (which I do), and a novel I wrote pseudonymously (a football novel of all things) today marks the publication of my thirteenth novel in English. It’s called The Night That Finds Us All and is available wherever scary books are sold

You can read an excerpt of my novel that releases tomorrow here, at TheNerdDaily! thenerddaily.com/the-night-th...
A Facebook post with the following text and a link: Tomorrow, my novel THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL releases in the US. You can find it in almost any Barnes & Noble and many indie bookstores. I don't know how many libraries will have it but almost every library has a form where you can request that they buy a copy. There is also an audiobook you can purchase at whatever vendor you prefer, B&N, Audible, etc. Also, the Libby app carries ebooks and audiobooks and more than likely you'll be able to find it there within the next week or so. This has been both a personal and public service announcement.

If you'd like to read an excerpt, you can find one here.

Reposted with alt text. Also, from a cursory look, this appears to basically be true, which is pretty funny. Philosophers... debate.

Saw an NYT article today about "How Video Games Are Shaping a Generation of Boys, for Better and Worse" and while I have zero evidence to support this I think it was probably better for men/society when video games came with gigantic manuals that you had to sit your ass down and read first

1am Thursday night and Jasmine stalks 1920x1080 fields and meadows while I try to dream meaning into series of words in a 700 square foot apartment

The official database of works eligible for the Anthropic AI settlement has been released and, as I suspected, many authors are screwed. Basically, if your books weren't officially registered with the US Copyright Office you're out of luck. 1/ secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/results
Welcome to the Anthropic Copyright Settlement Website
Are you the legal or beneficial copyright owner of a book included in the Anthropic Copyright Settlement?
You could get a payment from the $1.5 billion Settlement.
