Seriously, I am the worst at keeping up with this blog. The worst!

So yeah, my newest thriller The Killing Room came out two weeks ago, and … I guess it’s going okay?
Typically when I release a book, I have access to immediate sales data — even my Amazon Publishing stuff has a real-time sales numbers dashboard — but not here.
Oh, trad publishing, you so silly.
A few days after The Killing Room was released, I was a guest on my local news’s daytime morning show to pimp the book and my signing at Midtown Scholar that took place that weekend.
Speaking of Midtown Scholar, if you’d still like to order a signed copy and get one of the very few remaining limited-edition prequel chapbooks, you can do so here.
The signing went as well as could be, and I even had a special guest show up!
Marshal Zeringue was kind enough to ask me some questions about The Killing Room and take the Page 69 Test.
Oh, and if you’re an audiobook fan, be sure to check out the audiobook which is narrated by the one and only Edoardo Ballerini.

What else, what else …
Oh!
Barnes & Noble Press named The Killing Room as one of their top five favorite ebooks of the week!
And then even better, the ebook managed to get this special tag for a few days.
And for whatever crazy reason, today I learned that on Amazon (in the US at least) the hardcover and paperback are priced at 50% off, so now’s the best time to grab physical copies if you’d like — plus, it helps build my print sales track record, as I was told the reason Barnes & Noble decided not to place an order for the book was due to the fact my sales track record is primarily in digital sales.
Again: oh, trad publishing, you so crazy.
Finally, today The Big Thrill (the monthly magazine for the International Thriller Writers) had this very nice review of The Killing Room, in part which says “An ultra-fast-paced thriller, claustrophobic in its essence and as suspenseful as they come...possesses all the merits of a top-notch thriller destined to leave the readers reeling. Excitement guaranteed.”
Sweet!
And … I think that’s it for now.
Does anyone actually look at this thing?
If so, be a dear and leave a comment so I know I’m not wasting my time.
Blogs are so, like, 2015.
