Killer book mail today. If you’re not reading @cwblackwell.bsky.social, you must change that. His writing is beautifully lyrical and deeply felt.
Haunting, bleak, & timeless, @pauljgarth.bsky.social 's STEAM ENGINE captures the deadly journey of two modern day drifters on a train bound to nowhere. Coming out in DAYDREAM BELIEVER, released on September 29th from @shotgunhoney.com ! Coedited by moi and @writelarrywrite.lawrenceallanwrites.com
Did you know the crime/thriller drama probably has less active Latine writers than you have fingers? In the meantime, writers like Richie Narvaez are out there doing their best to put exciting stories out there that don’t glorify BS stereotypes about our peoples. bookshop.org/p/books/holl...

Preorder for the paperback version of BRAND NEW DARK is now live. The most awesome @laurelhightower.bsky.social took a look at this particular book way back when. Here, now, she has been kind enough to let me show you again what she thought. #BookSky www.amazon.com/dp/196678700...
Y'all, I love a good short story that takes narrative risks, and @jamesdfhannah.bsky.social does not disappoint. This one's got the flavor of a true Hollywood story. @michellekubitz.bsky.social and I can't be more excited for you all to read it. Head to @shotgunhoney.com, pre-order it! #booksky

For the evening crowd: my historical crime novel THE COLD DARK FOREVER is now available in print and ebook! Part love letter to the California Central Coast, part homage to classic Gold Medal paperbacks—take a ride through the twisted shadows of wartime California.
Really enjoyed talking with @alexkenna.bsky.social about Waves of Burden. This is a great conversation if you want to know more about Drew, Jake, and Gaby, and how I came up with the idea for my new novel.
Alex Kenna@alexkenna.bsky.social · 2w agoI had a great time interviewing Curtis Ippolito about his new mystery, WAVES OF BURDEN, which explores how family loyalties can lift you up – or destroy you. Listen: soundcloud.com/authorsonthe... Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_KJ...

I’ll be at the great Warwick’s Books two Sundays from today selling and signing copies of Waves of Burden. Looking forward to meeting new readers.
Thanks Gabino! My historical crime novel THE COLD DARK FOREVER releases next week! Part love letter to California’s Central Coast, part homage to 1950s Gold Medal paperbacks. Can’t wait to share it with everyone soon!
Attended a book club yesterday that meets in a restaurant. Super nice folks and they paid for my meal. Sold copies after, but it was the copy a waitress bought from me with her tip money on the way out that meant the most. She warned she’d sell it for a million if I became famous and I said, deal.
Can’t wait to sign some books and support Burbank’s public libraries next month!
For the evening crowd, my book—written as Oliver Lowe—is now available for pre-order. Also how about that cover! zandoprojects.com/books/kill-c...

I do not pay SoCal prices for this bullshit. It does feel like an oven. 100 at our house. Very reminiscent of our Dallas days, sadly.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 3w agoIt’s like a wet oven here in San Diego today. I don’t know how you folks in the south do it.
One of the best books of the year. If you need more of a reason to buy it, check out my review of Curtis’s excellent novel here: vautrin.pub/2026/06/shad...
Curtis Ippolito@curtisippolito.bsky.social · 3w agoMy new novel, Waves of Burden is only THREE bucks for the ebook. That is not a sale. That’s the regular price. Just thought you could use that piece of information…
