Happy Friday!

Here's proof below the cut that I am, in fact, still writing (just inexplicably doing 5 stories at once instead of focusing, for I am an idiot).

Spoilers for TIGmas Jack Blaylock fic:

Apparently binging Criminal Minds was all I needed to get into the Jack Blaylock headspace. WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT?!

...anyway, expect something from me soon.

Look y'all, I made a dumb meme!

(See you in a few hours for Terry Silver shenanigans!)

I see five flowers, but you're only getting one snippet! 😉

Still, I'll throw in an extra little bit extra for your trouble!

From the Jack Blaylock TIGmas fic:

"Will you let me leave?" you ask him softly, like you were trying to minimize any threat that you might pose.

"Will you come back?" he counters with a cold smile.

You lie and he laughs, his mouth twisting into a toothy grimace that has you recoiling.

Will I actually finish TIGmas by May 25th (5 months late)? STAY TUNED!

Kill Fee Makes Sun Sentinel's Best Of List

Congratulations to Owen Laukkanen on Kill Fee being named one of the Sun Sentinel’s Best Mystery Books of 2014!

Fortunately, the email wasn't all disappointments—said editor is the editor-in-chief at a bigger publication and is waiting for my pitches. Ermagherd.

Like I indicated back when I reviewed Criminal Enterprises, the biggest trick for Laukkanen is coming up with some reason to get his FBI Agent and his State Police Officer together to work on a case. Once that’s dealt with, we’re off to the races and anything goes. This time, our two heroes are hanging out with…
