#ScribesAndMakers 2/18. Have you ever or would you ever do your own cover?

The cover for Questions for the Dead took a fun path.

I looked at covers for books that appeal to the kinds of readers I think would like my book -- private eye stories, unusual characters and off-center humor. 1/4

#WritersCoffeeClub 2/13. Do you use maps as reference materials as you write?

Not usually. A lot of what I write is set in familiar, contemporary locations, so I have a pretty good mental map in place.

One big exception: I wrote a crime novel (still looking for a home!) set in 1959 London Soho, at the dawn of the Mod subculture. For that, I found a vintage street atlas of post-war London that became my geographic bible.

Book announcement and cover reveal!

Not entirely expected this morning. Except in the way it’s expected all the time for the next few months.

Well actually, they're only cryptids if they come from the Cryptid region of West Virginia. Otherwise they're just -

Thanks to my preferred ink colors, my pen cleaning cloths tend to resemble evidence of some truly ghastly crime.

Looks like Apple Intelligence is still quite a way from being useful.

That’s a hard rocking name for an office supply company.
