I'm thrilled to announce A DARKER MISCHIEF has received its second ⭐️starred ⭐️ review - from BOOKLIST! "Milman has a singular gift for creating atmosphere that, with a twist of the sinister, is almost painfully vivid, as is his characterization."

Okay let's try this again: good alternatives to Substack that are not pricy and do not require one to be tech savvy, and I am emphatic on the latter part; please do not recommend Buttondown. I'm sure it's great but not for me. Also not doing Wordpress. Already use Wix for a different newsletter.

She fearlessly and publicly took down the Catholic Church before anyone was willing to listen. A monumental talent and a huge loss. RIP.

my life would be easier if I liked T-Swift as much as my bf. Look, I like her just fine! She’s talented. But a measurable percentage of our apartment is now taken up by T-Swift colored vinyl. Lol. The Ramones LPs are mine.

Hi all. I’m Derek! I’m a queer YA author based in Brooklyn. My third novel, WITH LOVE & MISCHIEF, will be out from Scholastic next year. It’s a dark gay romance set against a secret society (based on a real one) at a top New England feeder school, involving a high profile kidnapping. More soon!
