Elvis Cole Fan Account

Wes. Just a fan of Elvis and Joe, in my spare time. This is a place for my thoughts and observations.

The best part of being a private investigator is tax deductible office supplies

@richard03875220 I adored it!

It was interesting to read myself in Anya's internal monologue (in some ways, not in others. I will not elaborate, guess if you wanna.)

I used to joke about how THE BIG EMPTY is also how I describe my depression, but the "haha" part is gone and just the "oh shit" part remains.

One thing I love about Crais' writing as someone who does criminal defense is that... Yeah. Sometimes every angle of a situation sucks. There's nothing you can do about that; the train's in motion & you can't hop off.

That part feels so true to life. It grounds me in the story.

"In other words, I wanted to torture my main character,"

Yes and you nailed it. 11/10.

I had a great conversation with Christen and Julia 👇👇

Okay, at some point I'm creating a compilation of everything that made me ugly laugh or spit take

And truly I mean that while I had a mouthful of hot chocolate, I read a line that almost made me choke.

I've spent the last year ONLY letting myself enjoy things with the unfettered enthusiasm of a teenager, so sometimes I like what I read and my only response is "the longest YEAHHHHHHHHHHH ever"

And that's just not the kind of commentary I used to give.

Sorry/you're welcome?

@robertcrais Joe's dedication to Elvis often reminds me of this post by Tumblr user plumerii:

My copy of THE BIG EMPTY came in the mail yesterday. I haven't even opened the package, because I can't trust myself with that level of temptation.

But Friday is just around the corner...

I read Racing the Light between getting home from the signing event (9 or 10 pm, maybe) and 6 am. I wouldn't change a thing about it, but this time I'll plan to avoid the all-nighter.

I know it could take a week or more, but I'm practically glued to the mailbox waiting for my copy of THE BIG EMPTY to arrive.

What do we think is the over/under on how long it'll take me to read it cover to cover? 8 hours?
