Well, it's summer so everybody's surely getting in the water and until the end of June #Quint is 99p on kindle #kmd. Also, I haven't been around but why is my feed full of weird stuff?

[robert lautner/Mark Keating @robertlautner2]

Son just pointed out that in Raiders, Indy could have just stayed home and the story and ending would still be exactly the same.

[robert lautner/Mark Keating @robertlautner2]

@Tonisenior None, or any knitting or sewing variations nor any Masterchef things. I am a brown star in the void to all these TV black holes. I'm still watching The Sopranos FFS.

[robert lautner/Mark Keating @robertlautner2]

Watching A Thousand Blows seas.2. "This is a Colt six-shot revolver" *holds up a Remington 1858* FFS that wouldn't even be difficult for my 14 year old son to get right.

OK this is the weirdest shout out so far.

@JoannaCannon Well I'm glad this popped up in my feed.

[robert lautner/Mark Keating @robertlautner2]

@UnsoundedAbyss TBH I just use it to keep away from family gatherings. No-one expects me to turn up because they all know that's what I'm doing!

Started my annual LOTR Xmas watch. Contemplating replacing it with Toho Godzilla movies next year starting with -1 because -0 might be out by then. I will not be taking questions at my TedTalk.

At this time of year I take consolation that none of Superman's lore powers enable him to be any better than you or I at finding the end of the wrapping tape but your wife can.

According to my Spotify wrap my listening age is 74. If anyone wants me I'll be in the sea.

"Jewels you say, officer? Stolen? Oh my, how audacious. I do hope you catch the vagabond. My name? Tombs. Sebastian Tombs. I wish you the best of Saintly luck."

My first thought at the Louvre heist. Or Lupin. Either fits my salutations.

How does #JAWS make you feel?

[robert lautner/Mark Keating @robertlautner2]

My short story for Of The Flesh is about El Tio, the demon that protects the miners of Potosi, and not only is it a #1 best seller on Amazon but Halloween gets it for only £8.20 which is a bit random but between me and Bridget Collins, Lionel Shriver etc. you got weeks of fear!

[robert lautner/Mark Keating @robertlautner2]

I don't know how Halloween spoopy this is but for October "Quint" has been chosen for a 99p Kindle Monthly Deal. Bonus: my first horror collab "Of The Flesh" comes out in paperback on the 9th! I should have led with that one because that is Halloween spoopy. Damn. #kindlebooks

"Oh, I really love 19th century Gothic horror."
The book: "The monster was undiscernible. No words could convey its unimaginable visage. It did terrible things that cannot be described."

Replacing tyres. Can't find lock nut key. Search the car for half an hour, can't find it, even remove the jack and the spare to search, can't find it. Guy charges extra £50 to break. Drive home and go to put jack back. Lock key falls out of jack.

@DonnellyWriter Just enough and less.

[Gary Donnelly @DonnellyWriter]

I simply loved this little gem by Robert Lautner. Quint’s voice growls and cackles in my mind long after the final page. Brutal and quite honestly brilliant. @robertlautner2 Well done sir.
