Very much enjoy seeing FLORIDA PALMS along with friends' books show up on people's end-of-year lists, especially under titles like "Best novel that makes the case why Florida is so uniquely weird."

Shout outs to @paulbradleycarr and @lucaseschaefer.

Thanks to @bradleytusk for the substack mention.

Yeah, I started writing a whole humorous post about how maudlin it is to celebrate getting on a Best Of list, but f**k it this is awesome.

CrimeReads is a big deal to me. It's LitHub's sister publication that focuses on Crime, Mystery, and Thrillers, often with a literary bent. I'm also super psyched my buddy Lucas Schaefer is on this list, alongside new friend Amran Gowani.

Florida Palms took 20 yrs to write and publish. And I get to celebrate this with my mom in town. I'm so grateful.

You may ask yourself, Why does it say Joe Pan but that's clearly not Joe Pan.

You may say, wait, actually that's author Erik Larson. I recognize his dreamy blue eyes and that flirtatious look.

You may wonder if this panel at the Miami Book Fair will feature Joe Pan, the debut crime novelist, or the alluring Erik Larson.

You may wonder if this is a mix-up. That's clearly Joe Pan's book. Or maybe this is some kind of joke, like maybe the Miami Book Fair included a Canva template that perhaps featured the coquettish visage of famed novelist Erik Larson, and Joe just ran with it.

Or maybe...maybe Joe Pan will show up AS the bewitching Erik Larson, alongside celebrated novelists Nicky Gonzalez and Asha Elias. Maybe that's just his thing...Joe Pan just straight up TAKES ON THE ROLE of famous writers and METHOD ACTS each event!

Like, is that really a thing a person would do? Is that?

Wendy and I are about to venture on a 1.5 month book tour and we're getting prepped. Get ready folks, we may be coming to your town. Check out the comments for dates.

(Will I be handing out merch? I don't know, I just had these made for this pic and my family, I won't actually be wearing these all the time, but I may make more if people demand it.)
