And if we are talking all time MacGyver was better than all these shows. No one on these shows caught fish with gum wrappers.

I choose Better Call Saul over Mad Men The Wire over Better Call Saul Breaking Bad over The Wire Slow horses and Justified were underrated. BUT IT IS ALL OPINION

This was flat out one of the best Bond novels I read. Up there with the best of Fleming. I enjoyed the heck out of it, surprising to me as I didn’t like his first one…

Third consecutive year of running the SAX 4 miler. Finished in 38:39, which is 7 seconds slower than last year but still fast for me (my first mile was at a 9:09 pace). But not compared to these two speed demons. The hills in this race are brutal, but we finished!

Favorite Bond Opening Gambits: Skyfall: "Take the bloody shot." The Living Daylights: "Hang on, you're dead!" Goldfinger: "Shocking. Positively shocking." Tomorrow Never Dies: "What's he doing?" "His Job." For Your Eyes Only: "I trust you had a pleasant "fright"!"

My favorite person is the person who makes a deal on Facebook marketplace, sees the price and then shows up and goes “Oh I only have 19 dollars.”

There‘s been a lot of good crime fiction reflecting the tragedy of 9/11, with ABSENT FRIENDS by SJ Rozan and SMALL TOWN by Lawrence Block being my favorite novel, but by far my favorite 9/11 crime fiction story is CLOSURE by @davewhite.bsky.social thrillingdetective.com/2023/04/01/c...

Wondering about SET ON BLOOD? According to my editors, it’s very quippy and funny for a dark thriller.

I hate being lectured online, so I don’t intend this to be a lecture, but a reflection. Thinking out loud if you will. Sometime in the next year, I will have a new book out. It will be my 7th book published in 20 years. (I know when I just can’t tell you yet. What’s an author without a vague post)

When someone writes a thriller that should move at a breakneck pace, they should write it to move that fast. I remember, whatever you think of the Reacher novels, I could read those in 2 days because they were designed to move.

Hi! I’m a drama writer at the Supervising Producer level. I’m also a comic book writer, so my TV work has mostly been in the genre space. Zoo and Supergirl in live-action, and Invincible and Creature Commandos in animation. I love super-heroes and cop shows. I really want to staff on a procedural!

Dear writers of the world, If you are ever offered a contract with Bronzeville Books you should decline it. Bronzeville’s figurehead Daniel Gardner doesn’t honor the contracts he signs. You’ll just end up unhappy. Take care of the things you work hard on. Don’t give it away. Be careful. ❤️

Yes, I think Jack Lowden would do great as James Bond, but I’m not willing to sacrifice River Cartwright over it.
