My pundit days are over but Judge Merchan would be wise to ask Secret Service to confer re how to handle confinement if he’s incarcerated for contempt (gag order) or as his sentence. He clearly believes jail is an impossibility. It’s not.

So honored to have been awarded the Pinckley Prize in Crime Fiction for Distinguished Body of Work, honoring “an established woman writer who has created a significant body of work in crime fiction.”

The court needs to stop making the biographical info of jurors public. Identifying someone is pretty easy if you know their job and neighborhood.

I’m going to be smiling all day.

Love this graphic from the always thoughtful and talented @Gvaljan. Always boosting other authors!

I have a new book out! IT HAD TO BE YOU continues the Under Suspicion series I co-authored with Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark. In stores TODAY!

Thank you Kellye Garrett and Goodreads for including my books—both series and standalone—in such esteemed company.

I know!

Reminder, if one were needed, that John Connolly is always right.

I love second pass editorial queries. (Second pass=close to very done.) My replies are either 'great catch. Thank you!') or 50 words about why my character's backstory would lead her to use that exact word. (And yes, this is a writer nerd tweet. Back to it.)

Um, this is amazing. Get it, crazy train kids.

Thrilled to see that Amazon has selected IT HAD TO BE YOU as a best mystery, thriller, and suspense series novel for April! Mary would be very happy. amazon.com/Had-You-Under-…

Loved seeing Cree Summer on #AbbottElementary . Am I the only one?

Imagine Frankensteining these beautiful animals to have them shot by cosplay “hunters” who pay for easy prey. Absolutely sickening.

Why I need to know who’s on the panel.

Can’t say it better than this guy. Happy pub day, Scott Carson.

Since Judge Cannon is trending, another time to remind myself that she’s never going to try that case before the election and if she ever does, she will enter a judgement of acquittal once the prosecution rests. The courts aren’t saving us.

Whoever came up with the 5 presenters format is a genius. So obvious in hindsight. Each nominee gets a special moment. Ups the star power without the painful banter. Bravo!
