Went to Barnes & Noble’s yesterday and couldn’t resist finding my book and facing it out. (Yes, a cheap dopamine hit. I’m desperate.)
Apologies to Ann Cleeves, whose books I hid. (Only some of them, though!)

Shameless Plug Sunday
Well, it’s another day of the week ending Y, so it’s time for another Shameless Plug! This one is not even original, alas. Even so, it’s pretty cool that you can listen to the first three chapters of my novel, Twice the Trouble, totally free on Youtube! And it’s legal, even! (I think.)
Do I Have the Gall to Post Another Shameless Plug? Yes. Yes, I do.
Just a heads-up…. My Edgar-nominated and Shamus-winning novel, Twice the Trouble, is a Kindle Deal all this month. You can get the ebook for just $1.99. That’s less than half the price of a Starbucks’ latte (and it will last a lot longer)!
Book Talk with Cara Putman
Many thanks to Cara Putman for interviewing me on her excellent Book Talk podcast. She’s a great writer and interviewer and I’m very grateful. Please check it out.
Shamus Award!!!
I’m very honored to announce that Twice the Trouble has won this year’s Shamus Award in the First Novel category. Many, many thanks to the Private Eye Writers of America, my incredible agent Cindy Bullard, and Crooked Lane Books!!!

My Interview on The Writer’s Dossier Podcast
Recently I chatted with my friend Jeff Circle on his excellent “The Writer’s Dossier” podcast. We discussed topics ranging from growing up in Gainesville to 80s music to crime fiction. I had a great time, even though I was slow to grasp the concept of “rapid-fire responses.” Oh, well. I’m getting old.

Edgar Award Symposium Video
I had a lot of fun being on the “Do You Remember the First Time?” panel at the Edgar Awards Symposium last week. Panel chair Terry Shames did a great job, and I got to meet some hitherto online-only friends like Audrey Lee. I also made some new ones.
I was pretty nervous and I think it shows, but oh, well. Check it out if you’re interested.
My First Instagram Is Up
Okay, I suck at social media. But I’m working on it. Thanks to Mystery Writers of America for posting this to Instagram.
“Twice the Trouble” At One Year
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been a year since the launch of my mystery novel, Twice the Trouble. It’s been a wild ride! To commemorate the launch, I’m re-posting this very long (three chapters!) sample of the audiobook version on Youtube from Google Play.
