2022 National Magazine Award finalist. 500+ national magazine bylines. 40+ books. More than 100 million people have read my stuff (did the math and yeah, crazy)

[Mike Zimmerman @zimwrites]

Typed the last line on a novel this morning. Got stuck a while back, busted through, and the flood came to deliver me to word 69,503.

Wildman will be published later this year.

What a cool gig we writers have.

[Mike Zimmerman @zimwrites]

@Gabino_Iglesias Thanks, Gabino. Let's do a coming attraction. I have a story in here and can't wait to read the rest from my fellow authors. Dig it...from @literarygarage.bsky.social

[Mike Zimmerman @zimwrites]

My favorite novel from 2025. Read it. It's amazing.

@keithroysdon Me too!

[Mike Zimmerman @zimwrites]

Psyched and proud to be part of this anthology. I hope everyone digs "'Heartache Spoken Here,' Whispers Suzie Lightning." We're all just losers looking for a win.

[Literary Garage @litgarage01]

This July:

Bad Intentions — crime fiction inspired by Warren Zevon

We’ve locked the lineup—15 writers, all bringing something sharp, strange, and a little dangerous.

Plus: extra stories dropping on Literary Garage during launch week.

It’s going to be a good month.

[Mike Zimmerman @zimwrites]

@Gabino_Iglesias Thanks Gabino! I usually push my horror & crime fiction but I do lots of stuff and whattaya know I had a new book come out this week, debuted at #1 in exercise & fitness. It's that time of year...

My favorite read from 2025. So good.

@Gabino_Iglesias Thanks, Gabino. My latest short fiction collection, DARKNESS DOUBLED, includes a holiday story to get you in a December mood. "Eaten" single-handedly put me on Santa's naughty list. Isn't that cool!?

@Gabino_Iglesias Thanks, Gabino. I'll have a new short fiction collection coming in 2026 but lest we forget the one that came out a few months ago!

Darkness Doubled, 16 tales that inspire endless synonyms for WTF dude. Enjoy!

[Mike Zimmerman @zimwrites]

@nettirw @ChristophGolden @BrianKeene Mine's normal. So maybe not done on purpose. But woulda been cooler if they did.

[Mike Zimmerman @zimwrites]

@Gabino_Iglesias Thanks, Gabino! I once again bring your attention to issue #10 of Dark Yonder, on sale now.

My story "Grampy Dargle, Grampy Dargle!" leads off the collection, which makes me happy. And yes, Grampy Dargle is so cool you have to say his name twice.

[Mike Zimmerman @zimwrites]

I loved this book. Buy this book.

[Gabino Iglesias @Gabino_Iglesias]

@Gabino_Iglesias Thanks, Gabino. My short "Grampy Dargle" is the lead story in the brand-new issue of Dark Yonder now on sale.

@Gabino_Iglesias Thanks, Gabino! New short story in the latest Dark Yonder, just out. "Imagine what it takes for a human heart to beat for ninety years straight."

"Grampy Dargle," I hope, delivers what I do best: Twisted, ugly, and wtf.
