The incredible @kellyekell.bsky.social loved SURVIVING THE LIE. I can't wait to talk about the final Russell Avery novel with her on August 27th at Watchung Booksellers in Montclair, NJ. You can find out how my erstwhile reporter's final assignment plays out when the book drops on August 11th!

I finally stopped hoarding my 90-deck tarot collection & decided to put it to work. My new Substack is a weekly deep-dive into the intersection of crime fiction & tarot featuring spreads, writing advice, and anything else I want to talk about.

My top two #mswl wishlist items for 2026 are: - an exciting adult mystery or thriller with something to say. Something that feels like Alyssa Cole's WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING or @kellyekell.bsky.social's MISSING WHITE WOMAN - mg or ya set in Appalachia by someone from there. Especially with 🏳️‍🌈 or ♿️ rep

Late last night, @sarahweinman.com 's new book Without Consent popped up on my book machine and I haven't been able to put it down. All her books are amazing, but this one is required fucking reading in our current era when women's bodily autonomy is under renewed assault.

My most important pro tip about surviving publishing: Have a sense of humor. It has been instrumental in me surviving nine years, four books, two publishers...and still wanting to do this crap.

The NYPD officer killed by the active shooter was an immigrant from Bangladesh. He had 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. The US State Dept travel advisory for Bangladesh is level 3; “Reconsider Travel” for violence, crime and terrorism. He died here, for us, shot with a Colt M4 rifle. Think about that.

Mariska Hargitay's #MyMomJayne is so good. Equal parts sad, funny, messy, and raw. My fave part though is when Mariska finally goes through her mother's stuff and realizes that Jayne cut her ex husbands out of the family photos.

COVER REVEAL! 🔪🌊 It's a joy to share the glorious new cover to NO GODS FOR DROWNING! Anna Chiara Stagi has beautifully blended elements of the book into this eerie seaborne majesty. Thank you Anna, and thank you @badhandbooks for giving it a new port in the storm. badhandbooks.com/preorders/no...

cover of No Gods for Drowning by Hailey Piper, art by Anna Chiara Stagi, showing a deep sea background, a bright nine-pointed star in blue, and a lithe figure posturing in front of it, a glow with eerie light. At the top is a quote from Chuck Wendig reading "This book sang to me, and if you let it, it will sing to you, too."

Happy Release Day to El Dorado Drive by THE @meganabbott.bsky.social! It's a simmering, atmospheric novel of friendship and betrayal, following a women-led pyramid scheme in suburban Detroit. Can't wait to hear her chat with Laura Lippman today at Books Are Magic. You can watch on YouTube!

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Why do people keep saying Black people will be ‘next,’ when WE never stopped being targeted. Black people already experience whatever abuse this country heaps on other marginalized groups. This may be your first time witnessing it or experiencing it firsthand, but not ours.
