Devastating news. Bonnie Tyler has passed away at 75. That powerhouse voice gave us some of the most iconic, timeless anthems of all time like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Holding Out for a Hero." Rest in peace to a true music legend. 💔🕊️ www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/cul...

My father never got to meet my wife. He passed away two months before I met her. I mentioned this to my chiropractor once and he said something I'd never thought of before: "Maybe he sent her to you." Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.
Tried to use canva to make a little marketing pic for POP! and yeah, that's not happening anytime soon. Wanna read something with violence, bisexual love triangles, cheese puns, AND capybaras? I got you. bookshop.org/p/books/pop-...

Gratified by the kind comments authors I know and respect lavished on SEVEN ANGELS, my new crime novel. The awesome @msemilyedwards.bsky.social praised it as an "immaculate feat." (Ink Drinkers Anonymous Bookshop link to follow.)
Picked up the first two volumes of @kinoventura.bsky.social's crime cinema journal APACHE REVOLVER. If you're a crimehead like me I'd recommend you do the same
