On Gender and Jedi

Fair warning: beyond here be spoilers (not to mention deep-dive Star Wars nerdery). If you haven't seen The Last Jedi yet, you may want to navigate away. I'm serious. If you keep reading, you will be spoiled. This is your final warning. From here on out, it's all spoilers, all the time.

BLOOD BUSINESS is Now Available!

Image
Yesterday, I had elections on the brain, so I failed to celebrate a bit of book news: Hex Publishers' latest anthology, BLOOD BUSINESS , is now available! BLOOD BUSINESS, edited by Mario Acevedo and Joshua Viola, is actually two anthologies in one—each featuring its own cover. (The image I've included here is the back cover, because, well, my name's on it.) All of the stories are gritty crime tales, but half of them take place in the real world, while the other half contain supernatural elements. My story, "The Group Home," is the latter. No matter your preference, the lineup—which includes Paul Goat Allen, Betsy Dornbusch, Jason Heller, Stephen Graham Jones, Mark Stevens, and Alyssa Wong, to name but a few—can't be beat. Grab yourself a copy today!

The Haunting Hour

Dustin Tucker , who starred in the irreverent Portland Stage production of Sherlock Holmes' "The Hound of the Baskervilles," for which I participated in a Q&A last year, is adapting my short story "The Well" for the stage as part of his Haunting Hour series. The Haunting Hour runs from October 25th to November 4th, and also features work from Tess Gerritsen, John Cariani, and many more. Bob Keyes wrote  a fantastic article about it for Maine Today . If you're interested in attending, you can get tickets here . I'll be on hand for the Saturday, October 28th performance , if you'd like to say hello or get a book signed. I'll have a few books on sale for the duration of the run, but please feel free to bring your own copies on the 28th if you'd like. I hope to see you there!

New Englanders! If you're as big a fan of old-fashioned variety shows as I am, I hope you'll join me Sunday, September 10th, at 7PM in Intervale, New Hampshire for the Cold River Radio Show! It promises to be an amazing night of story and song. (Don't worry; I'm not providing any of the song.)
