My new science fiction novel is out today! A quirky band of scientists investigate a threat in a town riddled with strange events and science that pushes the envelope of what is possible. Awesome cover art by Kelly Lyon King!

Mr. Clarke, superheroic middle school science teacher, is on the cover. I'll have to get this one.

I wonder if there's a list of all the comics and novels where he makes an appearance...

The "A Miraculous Medicine" chapter in Joe Abercrombie's The Devils is one of the funniest things I've ever read in a book. Laughing so hard I could barely read the words. So good.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

If you enjoy well crafted and unsettling tales, you should definitely read this.

If you are a writer and wish to read and admire a wonderful example of the craft, you should read this.

The Kindle edition of IF YOU KNEW ME is only $3.99.

"Miskowski’s typically pristine prose visits Megan Abbott and Gillian Flynn territory, and man is it compelling... Dark and hip and funny. HIGHLY recommended." - Polly Schattel, author of Shadowdays
