Hey, Friends! It's a COVER REVEAL! That's right, after a year(ish) of work, Daydream Believer, edited by me and @michellekubitz.bsky.social will be out at the end of Sept. Here's a link: shotgunhoney.com/books/catalo... List of FAB authors below! #booksky #TheMonkees #anthology #mystery

In 1966, the Monkees was Hollywood’s attempt to cash in on Beatlemania. But they got more than they bargained for in a show that was madcap, counterculture, and poked a finger in the eye of staid, boring, square America. DAYDREAM BELIEVER pays homage to a show and the music that has lasted for generations.

Like a Monkees record, there’s something for everyone. Stories of revenge, stories of unrequited love, stories that involve unusual gardening tips and family shenanigans, and trains going everywhere and nowhere. All inspired by the music of The Monkees.

Net proceeds from this anthology will benefit the American LiIbrary Association (ALA) and its ongoing fight against book banning.

The Monkees were supposed to be disposable. But they have lasted. The songs, the show, the movie. The band and the songs live on.

DAYDREAM BELIEVER features the work of award winning crime and mystery writers:

Lawrence Allan
Eric Beetner
Lina Chern
Libby Cudmore
Michael Downing
Jeff Esterholm
Michel Lee Garrett
Paul J. Garth
James D.F. Hannah
Sean Patrick Little
Alan Orloff
Raquel V. Reyes
Keith Roysdon
Holly West

Bad Bunny’s halftime show resonated with me because it was a celebration of joy — and celebrating the joy of marginalized people is always a revolutionary act

The Hard Word crime fiction blog reads a lot of crime, mystery, and thriller fiction. So imagine my surprise they named *my book* the best crime fiction collection of 2025. Wow. I'm touched by how much people resonate with my weirdo mix of stoner noir, action, comedy, and social commentary.

Been pretty depressed lately, so for the first time in some years, I’m revisiting this old friend, who always found ways to lend me strength and wisdom in times of trial.

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

Dozens of trans people are murdered in targeted violence each year. Largely by gun violence, specifically. The number of trans murders has increased at the same time that anti-trans rhetoric has intensified. And Black trans women are murdered at the highest rates.
