If you missed out on the debut of THE SURGE, you can always re-up for this massive second edition from @TortoiseBooks. Coming to a bookstore near you on May 20, 2025. Pre-order details/cover reveal soon. Also, @jerry_brennan is a fantastic editor, send him your best work.
Finished edits for the upcoming @TortoiseBooks second edition of @Boondock60mm's amazing novel THE SURGE. (Pending author approval.) Also, I didn't realize just how battered and greasy my old laptop was until I got this new sexy beast!

Well, at least I’m 100% positive my favorite author, Thomas Pynchon, never did anything weird or gross. Time to move him further up the pedestal.

Played hooky from my day job and spent time catching up on @TortoiseBooks financials and editing one of our Fall '25 titles--a book that's like if The Big Lebowski were written by Flannery O'Connor. (Assuming Flannery O'Connor knew about cyberspace.) You are gonna love it.

Thinking seriously about writing a horror novel set in Maine someday. Insane that this has never been tried. Huge market gap

It is actually very bad and even irresponsible advice to tell your writing students that it is their identity-based job to "save the world."

Kids aren’t reading entire books because they are not being offered personal pan pizzas upon completion.
Bam, policy solution

For our anniversary, Amanda sold her beautiful hair to the wig maker to buy me a fob for my pocket watch. I had no idea it was our anniversary.

Selling @TortoiseBooks with @shiremy at @PrintersRowFest. My Rolling Stones shirt is licking INFINITE BLUES like a lollipop.

i can’t imagine being satisfied with a piece of ‘writing’ that didn’t cost me, personally, a lot of time and thought and effort in order to write it

I have literally no idea what I'm doing at any single point, I just do an impression of what I think it would be like to be a famous writer or prestigious editor grande supreme
