ROGER HOBBS

I am now the proud possessor of the Maltese Falcon, a hand-carved wooden statue given out by the Maltese Falcon Society in Japan to the writer of the best hardboiled-style crime fiction. Check it out! #awards #ghostman #japanese #maltesefalcon #hardboiled

The famed book-reviewing publication, Booklist, has picked Ghostman as one of the 101 best crime novels of the last ten years. I'm honored to share the list with Tom Franklin, Ian Rankin, Michael Connelly, Lee Child, C.J. Box, Gillian Flynn, and motherfucking James Ellroy. If you'd like to see the full list, check it out here. They've sure picked a lot of winners! http://www.booklistreader.com/2015/05/06/mystery-fiction/the-101-best-crime-novels-of-the-past-decade/ #ghostman

Well, I didn't win the Anthony or Barry awards, but at least I got this badass nomination thing to put on my wall: #anthony #awards #publishing #writing #ghostman #bouchercon #barry #longbeach

Hey, everybody! I'm spending the week here in beautiful Long Beach California to attend this year's world mystery convention, Bouchercon. So far nobody has been murdered, but I'm still hopeful. This crowd of mystery writers would provide for some interesting locked-room mystery hijinks. I'm especially excited to attend this year's Bouchercon, because I'm up for both an Anthony and a Barry award! If you're also attending, you should totally vote for me. Either that or I'll rob
