When you think of New York City, a host of images often comes to mind: the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the billboards of Times Square, and probably somewhere in that collage you’ll see the iconic yellow taxi. When I first lived in New York over twenty years ago, the streets ran with gold. Every other car was a yellow taxi. These days, it feels like it’s 1 in every 20 or more cars is a cab. Uber, Lyft, and privately owned cars make up the vast majority…

Oh boy, am I both glad for these weekly releases and in absolute agony! Turns out waiting a week for your own show to come out is even worse than waiting for someone else’s show.

A podcast (I just listened to the first one, and it’s awesome!) The IMDB page has a TON of stuff in one place And some fun Apple ads for laughs (and easter eggs!) One of my favorite little easter eggs…

I almost didn’t believe this would happen, even as I took my seat and the credits started rolling. For twelve years, I haven’t really let myself believe that a TV show or a film based on one of my novels would ever get made. But last Tuesday, in London, I started to believe. This Friday it’s really going to happen. I wish every reader, friend, and family member could have been there with us at the premiere. Since you couldn’t, let me take you back and walk through it with…
