I kept hearing people say, "well, if you don't like the way things are, change them."

This book is a response to that. When you try to change a system, that system will bare its teeth.

NEIGHBORHOOD OF DEAD ENDS by @McCaffery_write, a novel of oppression, corruption, inequality, and exactly how high the deck is stacked against those who desire change is available NOW:

I have a lot of new followers on here thanks to my inclusion in Best American Mystery 2024, which is great, but I'm not really on here anymore because it's a shithole.

If you'd like to follow my writing and thoughts, follow me on threads: https://t.co/OsnjGg74Ab

I hate this platform, but some cool people are still here. If you're coming to Bouchercon in two weeks, check out this great panel I'll be on. We'll talk creating characters from different walks of life and building community through fiction.

I think I am increasingly not going to be on this site because it's mostly full of shit. You can find me on threads: https://t.co/OsnjGg7CpJ

This dude is a fucking moron

[Patrick Rynard @patrynard]

JD Vance says Americans without children should “face the consequences and the reality” and not get “nearly the same voice” in democracy

Vance: “Let’s give votes to all children in this country, but let’s give control over those votes to the parents of those children.”

[Stanton McCaffery @McCaffery_write]

Panel discussions are only $5 a month!

[Rock and a Hard Place Press @RHP_Press]
