Update!

2008-2009: About 200 agent rejections (and as many unanswered queries). No one will publish me.

2022-2023: Edgar, Locus, Reading the West, and Anthony nominations. Stoker Award winner.

I mean it every time I say it: Don’t quit. Never settle. Never give up. Keep at it.

A lot of fun. Thanks for having me on!

Between NPR naming it one of the best books of the year and that Pod Save America mention, The Devil Takes You Home has been having a good week. I’d love to keep it going! Check it out if you haven’t done so yet. It’s still a third off! A million thanks.

Planned to pace myself on this, to savor it. But I can’t put it down. Beautiful work @Gabino_Iglesias

@mrmckee @jimrome Thanks!

Thank you @jimrome for today and, frankly, for everything. I’m humbled. They say you shouldn’t meet your heroes. Wrong. Meet them and then work with them for 15 years

We released our first @ParkStories project on January 24th, 2018.

Still feels like we're just getting started, but man, what an incredible ride it's been so far.

Grateful for each and every person who helped us bring these stories to life, and to everyone who supported them 🙏🏼

[David Whelan @davidwhelan]

Never forget...

2 June 2011: The Sangre de Christo Massacre occurs when inhuman creatures wipe out an entire small town in Arizona. One man, photographer and undocumented migrant Francisco Salazar, survives to be blamed for the tragedy.
