Love the Baz extension. He gets good money, and (I know buying out arb years can distort things) the AAV is 4th/5th starter for a guy with a lot of upside. Excellent work. #orioles

These Carshield commercials call Eric Byrnes a “pro baseball legend.” Props to him for an 11-year career, but “legend” is doing some heavy lifting here.

#Coffee hot take: I have yet to find a dark roast I enjoy consistently more than Folgers Black Silk. None of the fancy or “premium” coffees are any better, and almost all are worse.

The Manfred decision is an embarrassment for #mlb. Or it would be if the commissioner’s bosses cared about anything more than their bank accounts. Pete Rose broke THE cardinal rule of baseball, the one that goes to the game’s integrity. He’s also an admitted statutory 🍇ist. Fuck Pete Rose.

Our next pope after the brand new one needs to be Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod.

Pope names with “Adrian” and “Paul” highlighted. Adrian Paul played Duncan in the Highlander TV series.

The final season of BOSCH: LEGACY - more Bosch than legacy, but Harry is an all-time TV detective, so it’s OK. Recommended. Looking forward to the Renee Ballard spinoff (with great casting).

A new book baby out in the world today. This is the 9th #thriller in my ongoing series. At its core, the book is about family relationships and how they can evolve. Overlaid with fistfights, bullets, and guns, of course.

This season of THE WHITE LOTUS is… kind of a slog. (Note: I have not yet watched episode 4.) Great cast, but it’s mostly characters moving through set pieces and scenes. Not much in the way of real, meaty story, though the theme is carried throughout. I hope things pick up over the second half.

I crossed the 30,000 word mark in my WIP today (technically a little over 31k when I finished). Things are coming together nicely, which means they’re getting worse for our hero.

I’m moving my direct sales store from Shopify to Payhip. It’ll save me about $800 a year. While I’ll take a little hit on power, I think it’s more than worth it. If you want to sell books from a website, use Payhip. If you want to run an e-commerce business (spoiler alert: I do not), use Shopify.

We watched the finale of YELLOWSTONE last night. (It’s not officially the series finale yet, but come on, man. It is.) It was… decent. Good moments. It’s obvious this 2nd part of S5 has been off the rails from the jump. Costner not returning probably caused most plans to get scrapped and redone. 1/

On Writing, by Stephen King. Probably the best book… well, on writing out there. Worth the read and re-reads.

Tom Fowler @tomfowlerbooks.com · 11/12/2024

The King Beyond the Gate is an excellent fantasy novel, and maybe the best book written by the late, great David Gemmell.

The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. I almost didn’t come back to the series after Interview (and I was out after the 5th), but this is the best of the bunch.

One missing letter in a word can change a lot. Yay proofreaders! For instance, the court of PUBLIC opinion is a concept we understand. The court of PUBIC opinion is… uh, something else again. I’ve made that typo more than once. Thankfully, it’s been caught each time. #writing #indieauthors #typos

Killing Floor, the first Jack Reacher novel, by Lee Child. This is a great series, and Reacher is very much the 800-pound gorilla in the room if you write this type of #thriller.

I currently write two series—one each of PI mystery and action thriller. Recently, I’ve come up with ideas for four others. Even if I were full-time, I doubt I would have enough hours in the day. The curse of being an #author I guess. #authorlife #indieauthors
