Hey hey hey! Cover reveal!

My new speculative thriller 51% comes out on April 28!

In a future where corporations own everything—including people—one murder could ignite a revolution.

My thriller Killer Story is only $1.99 this month on Kindle! Petra Kovach has a chance to make it big as a true-crime podcaster, investigating the murder of a girl she knew. But her ambition is at war with her idealism - and she better put the “true” back in “true crime,” or the killer will go free.

We need an alternative to T****'s branding of the tariffs as "Liberation Day." How about "Inflation Day."

The economy is showing severe warning signs after Trump's first month in office. This shouldn't be surprising. He doesn't understand the economy and tanked pretty much every business he ever touched. youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?...

It's official: my thriller FREE FOR ALL will be published next year! I love this book and am so excited to share it with people.
FREE FOR ALL is set 20 years from now, when just about everything’s been privatized and the Big Six corporate syndicates own schools, police departments... and people.

Critics say Trump’s executive orders to reshape the NIH ‘will kill’ Americans Executive orders’ impact on premier medical research agency has resulted in delayed projects and frozen funding

These guys really are efficient!

Efficient at killing people, I mean.

Donald Trump Has Already Spent $10.7 Million Of Taxpayer Money Playing Golf Somehow, the expense has flown under the radar of the waste, fraud and abuse experts at DOGE.

T**** has spent $10.7 million of taxpayer money to play golf this past month. At this rate, his golf games will cost us $513 million in the next four years.

When our house burned down in the #PalisadesFire, I lost my only copies of the first play I ever wrote, Alaska Fire. I thought the play was gone forever. But miraculously, someone on Facebook I'd never met before, Wendy Revel, had a copy she'd saved for 40 years. Yesterday she gave it to me.

This is me working on my novel during the traffic jam as we were being evacuated from the #palisadesfire. (Our house burned down later that day.) Smoke all around us, but hey, a writer's gotta write!

Ever since our house burned down in the #palisadesfire my book sales have gone up. Talk about a unique marketing strategy!

Last night my wife's podiatrist left a message on her phone: "I've been wanting to do something for victims of the #palisadesfire so from now on all your treatments will be free."

The best thing about this experience has been seeing people's amazing kindness.

The best thing about having our house burn down in the #palisadesfire was canceling our subscription to HP Instant Ink. I hated that damn printer!

My days since our house burned down in the #palisadesfire consist of errands, errands, and more errands, interrupted by occasional bouts of writing my novel, getting confused about insurance, and looking for my phone.

Quite an ending to the world chess championship match! I was rooting for Gukesh, so I'm glad. But I like Ding too, and I hated to see him lose with one of the biggest blunders in championship match history. Overall, this was one of the most exciting sports events I've ever watched! Fabulous games!

The World Chess Championship is livestreaming every morning, and it's wreaking havoc on my writing schedule. It gets my vote for Best Thriller of the Year!
