Just another mystery writer with insomnia. I wander the dark streets at night looking for stories as I try to avoid the open manholes.

A new read just landed on my doorstep!
Picture of a man's hand holding the book ''Terminal'' by Johnny B. Truant, the book cover featuring an image of a dark inside airport terminal with a bright red suitcase in the middle. Black sprayed edge has the words ''No Power'' in bright red.

Today I start reporting on the contents of the library's lost and found box because it is stranger than fiction. Reader discretion advised. Day 1: A fully charged taser, a roll of peppermint life savers, and an unopened condom -- all found in the eraser tray of a (thankfully, adult) study room. 🤷

Local man wakes up, stares at the ceiling for 5 minutes, texts work to say he is not coming in, rolls over and fails to go to sleep. There may have been a smoothie for breakfast.

So, I think I'm going to start turning my books around on the shelf and showing their edges. BUT not to be an boring beige person, but only to show myself which I've read (pages out) and which I haven't (spines out) since my mission this year is to read books I own. #Booksky #Romancelandia

Closing in on the yearly goal. I think for 2026 I should maybe focus on consistency.

If you are anxious, cranky, and looking for a Nazi to punch, do the world a favor -- find a person to be nice to. Someone who is overlooked. Someone who is in the midst of their own crisis. They need it, and it will be good for you as well. And by all means, if you come across a Nazi, punch 'em.
