2,000 words in the new novel today. Writing a scene that has been in my head for years. Words are coming quick and the story is picking up.

If you liked #Sinners , my novel Curveball at the Crossroads is #SinnersMovie minus vampires plus baseball. Currently a 4.7 on #amazon.

@JordiScrubbings got it. I can't wait to read this

[Michael Lortz @JordiScrubbings]

The more i think about #SinnersMovie , the more think those vampires were an analogy of most #blues societies @BluesFoundation.
The ones who say "no black, no white, just blues." GTFO w that. The Blues is and will always be Black music.

Just putting this back out there. This is one of my favorite pics of my novel.

No joke: amazon has my novel for 60% off. That's only $1 over the publisher cost. I've never seen it this low.
If you buy it cheap, it goes up in ranking.

@davenewbart @waynebrooks @_Kingstonmines @Cubs Awesome to see the Blues and baseball together. My 2021 novel, Curveball at the Crossroads, has some Chicago influence. I need to get up to a Cubs game soon!

Those jerseys are beautiful!
