**coming soon

• Congratulations to Jennifer Longmire for winning a paperback of TEX MILLER IS DEAD, along with some TMID swag. Jennifer, Be on the lookout for those goodies soon.

• More videos (tik-tok and reels) are showing up with readers promoting TMID, and I couldn't be more tickled when I see them pop up on socials, but just to clarify, my last name is HUSTON, like my more famous fellow Scots clans-people, John and Angelica. We pronounce it HUE-ston. Frankly, as long as you read, recommend, and review my books, you can say it any way you like.

• The next story, A VERY CROWDED HOUSE, is coming along. My dear editor is lovingly smacking me around while managing my complicated relationship with commas and encouraging me to dig deeper. Appropriate considering the plot of this darker but still fun love story. You'll see. ;)

• Please consider following me on my socials. FB: KEHustonWriter

• Monthly reminder: TMID reviews trickle in on the main socials, and it never gets old. Check out what readers are saying on GoodReads, Amazon, and Barnes&Noble, and please add your own. As of this posting, TEX is a mere eighteen Amazon reviews from the mythical holy grail of fifty. If you haven't already, pop over and write a few kind words and give a star rating. The algorithm and I thank you.
