What a privilege to host the legendary Michael Connelly in Raleigh to celebrate the release of THE PROVING GROUND.

Any authors out there with helpful wisdom on beating the Resistance that comes halfway through every draft that whispers "this is garbage"? The answer can't always be "keep going", sometimes it might be garbage! But I'm all ears.

Saying "I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize" should pretty much be a disqualification in and of itself for winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

If only every AI bot that emailed me about their book club actually bought my book...

I swear half of writing is looking at a draft of what was once an irresitible idea -- and asking... "is this anything?"

So are all authors getting inundated via email with AI slop written blasts from random accounts trying to "promote" your books?

Salesperson, marketer, media-person, social media guru, art director, photoshop wiz, public speaker, public figure, etc. Yes, it’s a champagne challenge that many would KILL to have, but it’s a challenge nonetheless. If you try to wear too many hats, some are going to topple over.

Once you’re lucky enough to see something published, you’ve got to explore even more identities. Even if your publisher has support, so much will be thrust upon you. And SO much is opposite what it takes to be a writer.

Benjamin Bradley @bbradleywrites.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Identity is such a fickle part of being an author. At first, it can take forever to identify as an author — not just a writer or wannabe. But that’s just part of the journey.

Really enjoyed my day yesterday at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The entire event was organized by students, and they did an amazing job. Plus I got to speak to a great room full of enthusiastic young people who reminded me that hope is never misguided.

Southern noir at its finest. Come for the characters, stay for the gripping story. Perfect for fans of David Joy & Wiley Cash, but great for anyone, honestly. Highly recommend!

Lately been devouring The Treasure Hunters Club by @tomryanauthor.bsky.social -- a well written, fast-paced story with hints of The Goonies and Richard Osman novels and Oak Island fun.

I'll spend the day running laps around a graveyard in Raleigh with a bunch of other folks as part of the Oakwood 24 -- but it's worth a look in your community to see what's planned. It's worth your time.

In my day job, I work closely on these issues, but my experience at these memorials also inspired the bones of my upcoming novel.

Saturday is Homeless Persons Memorial Day nationally & in so many communities. It's a very special and deeply upsetting day, but there's always so many beautiful stories told about those we've lost.

Elf Shoes — a Christmas Crime by Casey Stegman

Elf Shoes by Casey Stegman Here’s the thing: elf shoes are fucking tough to run in. They also got these little bells that jangle really loudly. Not ideal when trying to get away from two goons…
