Before we get into the finale, I want to spend some time appreciating the phenomenon that is Game of Thrones. I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say it changed my life. I’ve built friendships around it… And drinking games. I’ve spent countless hours discussing theories and what-ifs. And I’ve been lucky enough to share my…

My latest thriller, Bone Music, is a story about power reversals—about victims becoming avengers and predators becoming the hunted.

Move over Red Sox – Babe Ruth has officially been dethroned and a new “Worst Trade Ever” champion has emerged. When you boil it all down, Daenerys and Jon traded a dragon and the goddamn Wall for a one-handed Jaime Lannister. They didn’t even get Bronn in the deal! As the snow settled in the…
