This was great. Truly terrifying if you happen to live in America and watch it happen in real time amongst your fiends and neighbors.
I wanted to write a thriller about the rise of populism and the the mainstreaming of the far right. If you’re worried about the state of the world at the moment, I hope you get a chance to read it. Remember, there is hope. There is always hope.

This is the second book I’ve read recently dedicated to a lost beloved pet. Here it is with our new acquisition, Leo, who could never replace our beloved Ainsley, but is turning into quite the reading partner.

Wait for March for the U.S. print edition? Absolutely not. @VaseemKhanUK has done it again. Death of a Lesser God was a cut above and City of Destruction continues the elevation of the Malabar House series. Available now on #Audible.

I don’t think I’m staying around here much longer. I can’t keep scrolling past all the right wing garbage. I’m on 🧵as Schlesswrites. I’m on BSky, too. Hope some to see you there.

A connection from high school (who I actually spent tons of time with when her friend and I were dating) reached out after the election because of something I posted. It was refreshing to hear from her. And reassuring to know good people exist. Still exist. Will keep existing.

The amount of money @brooksrunning leaves on the table by offering so few colors in wide widths astounds me. I have never bought a holiday shoe because they aren’t available in wide. #running #runhappy #rundisappointed #justiceforwidefeet.
