This one was some kind of special promotion at Barnes & Noble, thriller of the month maybe, with a little table of them up front & a stack by the registers. I just took a chance on it & it was a blast. 6:40 to Montreal by Eva Jurczyk… Who doesn’t love a solid mystery on a snowbound train? #booksky

I got new author photos! My kids’ books ones were getting old, and I wanted new ones for the mystery novels anyway—and obviously I needed one where I am staring directly at the sun 😂 #writesky #authorlife

I get up at 6, which was easier before it was cold & dark out then, but mornings are my favorite time of day. I feed Lotte the spare-lot cat, who is always waiting for me. I get a coffee & sit on a bench by the park. If the fact-checking load isn’t too heavy I write for a bit…

The book haul so far at @necrimebakecon.bsky.social 📚 Murders, a loyal K-9, a touch of Agatha Christie, sure—but I was not expecting Sondheim! #writesky @loriraderday.bsky.social @joshpachter.bsky.social

No one believed me when I said I was putting on real pants, when I said I was leaving the apartment and going somewhere nice for lunch. Well here I am at a strip mall in the Bronx so the joke is on you

Went to a new bodega today & they were rocking the old-school coffee cups. Any other current/former New Yorkers remember these?

Sometimes I think about this old TV antenna on upper Broadway. When did TV antennas become gothic? Is someone in there just watching the heck out of CBS? 👴🏻 For all eternity?? 👻

I’m getting new author photos taken at @necrimebakecon.bsky.social next month. My other headshots were all for my kids’/YA books, but these will be for my mystery novels and, well, I have some thoughts… #authorlife #writesky #robertbparker

Sometimes I sketch out comic book panels before scripting & you know, we end up hiring professional artists for the pages but I don’t know why 😂 #comicsky #writesky #gotthechops
