No plot twists yet. No big reveals. Just the words that set everything in motion. 😈 These opening lines offer an early glimpse at the stories, secrets, and suspense waiting ahead. Which one would you read on from?

My dog confirms this.

A surprising new study finds that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

Lie down with dogs, wake up refreshed? That’s what a new study suggests.

You’re more likely to disrupt your dog’s sleep than they are yours, new study suggests.

My new one, OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE (T3), is published today. It's the final book of the Talisman trilogy, co-written with my old buddy, Peter Straub. As DJT would say, thank you for your attention in this matter.

This is a loss — but she'll be a star whatever she does. I'm so glad we got to talk last year about THE OLIGARCH'S DAUGHTER. npr.org/2025/01/28/nx-s1-513…

'The Oligarch's Daughter' is a tale of spies and betrayal set amid extravagant luxury

NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks to author Joseph Finder about his new thriller novel The Oligarch's Daughter, a tale of a man on the run from an elusive and mysterious adversary.

$60 for a loaf of bread? (sounds delicious, though) washingtonpost.com/food/2026…

Review | This $60 rye bread is everything that’s right and wrong with New York

In Austria, Martin Auer’s loaves sell for roughly $16. Our food critic sampled the spendy NYC version to find out whether the taste matches the price.

Dear Sir, I haven’t read your novels in a while, not sure why but forgive me. As I finished a chapter in this book, I said aloud…Ho!Ho! Wow! (For those who’ve read Paranoia, you’ll love The Switch, for those who’ve not read either, I highly recommend!) Sincerely, Mike
