I should probably mention one last time this Christmas season that THE MANIC MISSION is a Christmas #thriller and a "multi-faceted, true Christmas story" (Zon reviewer) in case anyone is looking for a Christmas read. ❄️🎄🎁 🔗in B I O

Keeping alive the "tradition" of charts and graphs on Christmas, it turns out that 'Children of the Black' (currently free for the holiday) has broken a thousand copies in the wild. A #MerryChristmas, indeed.

Funny how big life changes often begin with something simple like finding a hidden place to take a nap. https://t.co/eqU618BJ6Q

I'm excited and terrified of releasing this one (likely in January 2026) because it's my most mainstream & got the furthest in the traditional world (got me an agent & later interest from a mid-sized publisher before they closed), so it feels like if it fails to do bigger things,

It's the perfect time of year for a Christmas thriller, and it's F R E E today only! A family with mob ties. A troubled son on a redemptive mission. A young girl infatuated with them. Now on Christmas Eve, their dark history repeats. (See content warning) https://t.co/ypTmoSUFbF

Apparently, your horror book can't be suspenseful while also being spooky and mysterious As spooky and mysterious are negative detractors from suspense... so sayeth AI I dunno though, I'm gonna need you to read this and decide for yourself!

Lots of end-of-year posts!! Mine: In 2025, everything I’ve worked for since 2011 came true. This book found its home, landed a PRH UK deal, & foreign deals are happening (languages! Ah!) And much more soon! 14 yrs of work paying off. I’m just SO grateful I never stopped. 🥹🖤🙏🏻

I need YA #thrillers to come back in, like they were in the days of One of Us is Lying, so my next two releases will do well.

You know what gets rid of the new month's ugly zeros? A Zon F R E E day. They're often hated on, but they bring in readers & often sales/page reads of your other books (Disclaimer: KENP # was there from Dec. 1 & not related.) I've extended THE MANIC EDGE's promo. 🔗in b-i-o

I love both thrillers & retellings, so I preordered my copy, and I'm looking forward to this read! Also, @Adele_Liles is one of the most supportive authors on X, and not just to the cool kids here!❤️
