#NovemberThrills “That’s the real secret of their wisdom. That’s why the Constitution has lasted as long as it has. That’s why we remember our Founding Fathers as immortal geniuses. Their finest hour wasn’t when they made their dreams come true—it was when they woke up.”

#TimeTravelAuthors There's a scene in Book 3 where a villain says something dismissive to a character who then wonders if it's because she's black, she's female, or he's just an asshole.

If you are turned away at the polls, your response [verbatim] should be as follows: “Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt, as required by law.” Pass it on.


#NovemberThrills Isabel (who thinks of herself as the family wallflower) is very surprised when Sandy asks her to model next spring's line of synthetic diamonds.

#TimeTravelAuthors There's the escape from Project White Room in Book 3. (Even before I told him I was a writer, the tattoo parlor guy was weirdly calm when I asked him if a lip piercing could be taken out and used to pick a lock.)

#TimeTravelAuthors It's pretty straightforward, as long as you keep both ends of the portal oriented the same way relative to gravity. Or wear padded clothing. (Also, try not to drop the portal in the river. That would ruin everyone's day.)

#TimeTravelAuthors 25: Something fast? Lock, and he often needs to be. 27: Something sweet? Lock's guidance counselor. Also needed.

For the record if Harris had 34 felonies, 3 failed marriages due to her cheating, didn’t know what a tariff was, blamed everything on immigrants, lied about FEMA assistance during a hurricane, admired Hitler, and was running against Mitt Romney, I would GLADLY vote for Romney.


#Thurds Just after five, Carrie got a call. Her phone said “It’s Mama.” It also made the three sharp chimes that meant *emergency*. Carrie’s fingers fumbled a little before they hit the right button. amazon.com/Altered-Season…


Concentrate, he thought. She taught you about this. If you’re out of gas, you can still glide and make it to the ground. They call it a deadstick landing. He hadn’t practiced it (which was starting to look like a huge oversight)… #Thurds amazon.com/dp/B09ZJDHR9C


Lock vaulted over the picket fence, ran through somebody’s backyard and jogged down the street, thinking as he ran. He’s still after me. I can’t call for help — my cell phone is in my backpack. The good news is, I don’t have to stay lost… #Thurds amazon.com/dp/B09ZK7XLSP


Lydia hadn’t been trained in search and rescue, and she hadn’t come equipped to secure a crime scene. And if anyone was in here, trapped under a load of debris, there was no way she could save that person all by herself. Best to call for backup. #Thurds amazon.com/dp/B09ZK98V96


#TimeTravelAuthors Lock and Gary get taken in for questioning in Book 1. A detective is a minor character in Books 1 and 2 and plays a major role in Book 3.

#TimeTravelAuthors Ahead was the beaver dam pond. Gary wanted to stop and rest, until they noticed a mountain lion taking a drink not far enough away. Its back was turned to them. They walked on, very quietly.

NASA decided it was easier to just land on the Moon than take direction from Stanley Kubrick.

I used to be conspiratorial when I was younger. Eventually, I realized that people don't get along very well, so conspiracies rarely work out. "They" or "them" are also all fighting with each other. One thing's for sure, though. Most of you reading this will never be rich.



“When are we going to be able to shut these places down?” “Not until we’ve rebuilt every city and town north of the fortieth parallel with the kind of infrastructure that can keep going during the Monsoon,” said al-Harrak. “I’m sorry.” #Thurds amazon.com/Altered-Season…


#Thurds “Just putting this out there. I’ve never seen you pick on anybody even close to your own size, and some of these people are bigger than you.” “At least I don’t need five or six friends backing me up.” “At least I have five or six friends.” amazon.com/dp/B09ZK98V96
