Seeking hive mind info. I've been thinking to get a stylus to help with some graphic drawing. However, I would prefer to still draw on a pad or table and not on a monitor (I'm nervous about cracking the monitor) Do you have to draw on a computer screen or tablet for a stylus to work?

In the opening chapter of Hornytown Chutzpah, a demon enters Detective Sol Weiss' office because she's been framed for murder. She's wearing a "Sucker 4 Sin" T-shirt that features a giant lollipop.

So when my audiobook co-narrator came to read @charmcityspec.bsky.social, she came in costume.

Last night was something special. Not only because it was the world premier of Hornytown Chutzpah, my new novella, but because my co-audiobook narrator was able to be a part of this. It might be the only time we do this live. On top of that it was my mom's birthday!

Alicia showing off her Hornytown Chutzpah swag. She's wearing a blue t-shirt with "Sucker 4 Sin" and a lollipop printed on the front. This is a recreation of the shirt one of the characters she voices first appears in.

Thanks @chrisrose.bsky.social for the pics at the reading! This was tnot only the first live narrative duet, Alicia and I did of Hornytown Chutzpah, but its world premier!

And the novella doesn't even exist for 12 days!

It was also I got diverted to the signing table and my family was there (plus, I'm so bad at barcon even though this wasn't barcon)

When reading noir one should try to wear an Inspector Gadget style trench coat (or at least get as close as you can)

Missed it by that much!

After a reading, you want to chill and enjoy the sights. This reading took place as part of #AWPBaltimore and was sponsored by @charmcityspec.bsky.social

Here's me, my sister, and Charm CIty Spec host Chris Rose!

Is this a stage for a reading or what?

Amazing to have my sister (and co-narrator), mom and good friend Julio join me our world premier reading of Hornytown Chutzpah. Grateful to have been chosen to be part of @charmcityspec.bsky.social and #AWPBaltimore

On the left side is the cover for Hornytown Chutzpah. It features a detective wearing a trench coat wielding a super soaker loaded with Manischewitz red wine in a field of anthropomorphic water balloons. 

On the right are excerpts from Alex Brown's Punk-Ass Book Jockey review of the novella and the address to the full review.

Psst... Spread the word. 12 days 'til the release!

Presale copies of the paperback, eBook, and audiobook available pretty much everywhere.

Nope. Though I imagine I would have enjoyed your chicken performance.

In my case, the one I really remember was finding this giant piece of styrene and just knowing I could carve it into many useful shapes. There were also wonderful odd bits and weird things that just added color to the set.

Why does that make me like even more!

I dumpster dove once for props for an off-off Broadway play.

It is not impossible that the number of times I edited chapter one equals the number of chapters in my book.

The cover for The Day Before - Yellow police tape across the foggy background hinting at a crime scene. The title is in black on the police tape. There are handcuffs in the foreground. The tagline reads "It's not a murder if there's no body."

Marrins should be the one dealing with this, but if she ran into him, he’d use it as an excuse to end her career.

Sam forced herself to smile politely… and not punch MacKenzie right in the face. Wouldn’t mother be proud?

A Hugo winning literary critic called Andrew Hiller's latest, "a light, funny, and audacious novella that relies as much on screwball comedy as it does hard boiled noir, all with a dash of Manischewitz wine."
