A small but persistent pet peeve - people who say “eye gaze”. What the hell else are you supposed to gaze with - your nostrils?

For the last couple of days I’ve had a little block of time between my work day and making dinner so I decided to use that time to see how fast I can complete the crossword and I didn’t think I could be a bigger nerd than I already was but achievement unlocked.

ALICE will be re-released next year in the U.S. in a slightly less expensive edition with a new cover. This should be widely available (grocery stores and the like as well as bookstores) but you can preorder if you love the new cover here: bookshop.org/p/books/alic...

It has come to my attention that some people apparently think NEAR THE BONE is “cozy horror” 🤔

Whenever anyone tries to talk to me about “building my brand” I want to scream. I’m not a pair of sneakers. I’m a writer who writes books.

It’s 32 and snowing in Chicago so as a concession to the weather I have shut almost all the windows.

Good morning. My to-do list is so long but my morning run always helps me get centered before the business of the day begins.

What’s your opinion on authors reading during bookstore events? Yea or nay? I just got back from book tour in Germany and they expected so much reading. In general, I’m not a fan of doing it.

Everyone knows what a 1-star review means (“I HATE YOU AND YOUR BOOK AND YOU SHOULD BOTH GO INTO THE TRASH”) but what’s a 2-star? Is it passive aggressive? “I kinda sorta mostly hate your book”?

I bought a bird feeder that takes pictures of the birds and every time I get a notification I’m over the moon and this, clearly, is Peak Middle Age.

I’ve spent three days catching up on lots of things that were not writing and it was such a relief to be able to sit down and just write this morning and feel semi-normal again.

This morning I finally, FINALLY, slept until 5am. This is my normal wake-up time. I realize it sounds insane to most people but it works for me and also is a VAST improvement over waking up at 3:30am because my body had no idea what time zone it was in.

Home for less than 24 hours and I was already back on my bullshit, running 4 miles before dawn. Little Ghostface was super jetlagged so he slept in. Chicago, I missed you.

After 8 train rides, 7 cities, 7 hotel rooms, and 2 international flights I’m finally on my way home to Chicago. Waiting at the airport with my crazy morning hair for the last flight. Thank you to everyone who came out to see me in Germany and at New York Comic-Con.
