So cool! The title of my #Murdaugh book (8.20.24!) is from "Blood Meridian": “You can find meanness in the least of creatures, but when God made man the devil was at his elbow. A creature that can do anything.”

Had an amazing interview at the Pat Conroy Literary Center this week for the TV show "North of the Broad" and can't wait for the next one. I'll share a link when it airs, and in the meantime, if you haven't visited this cool literary museum in Beaufort, I highly recommend it!

Today marks the four year anniversary of Hampton County being hit by one of the worst Tornadoes SC have ever witnessed. We lost 5 citizens, three being from one family and two farm workers. Let’s continue to pray for and with the families. Thanks to all that came to our rescue.

Big shoutout to the OG!! SC has been blessed to have you in our journalism ranks. 🙏🏽💪🏽 @jmonkatthestate Great story @MaayanSchechter southcarolinapublicradio.org/sc-news/2024-0…
It seems as if I get a call from 🐐@jmonkatthestate every Friday about 4 p.m., and I know he will be asking serious questions. Today it was a bit early, tho he reserved the right to call again at 4 😂😂
John Monk has survived buyouts/layoffs, business changes, burnout and getting exiled to Kershaw. So I asked the 77-year-old how he's survived in this career for so long and why he still keeps reporting when it feels like the industry changes every day. southcarolinapublicradio.org/sc-news/2024-0…
He helped get SC a seatbelt law, covered a nudist colony, jumped out of perfectly good airplanes & can call the Murdaugh case just one of the many crazy things he's covered. I love this story by @MaayanSchechter about the great John Monk (@jmonkatthestate) southcarolinapublicradio.org/sc-news/2024-0…
A pro's pro! When I needed a notebook during the #Murdaugh trial, John gladly gave me one. Signed, of course!
I've done so many stories that I've finally turned into a story myself! -- At 77, veteran SC courts reporter John Monk says he's still having fun southcarolinapublicradio.org/sc-news/2024-0…

“They” keep mentioning the eclipse’s Cone of Totality and all I can hear is @DrKennethKinsey saying, “REALLY? It’s a cone!!!” 🤣
It’s getting dark here. In 20 minutes, it’ll be light. The end. My summary of the #Eclipse2024 in case nobody else is concerned about it.
Solar eclipses don’t excite me. But you can make any natural event more interesting just by putting the words “Zombie,” “Murder,” or “Hyper-sexual” in front of it. Try it at home, kids, it's fun Beware the Zombie Eclipse, courtesy of the Hyper-sexual Sun open.substack.com/pub/michaeldew…
@mmdewittjr i thought i was the only one not too excited about a three minute event happening in the sky. somebody wake me up when its over, actually never mind
I don’t pay nearly as much attention to the Alex Murdaugh case as I once did, but I’ll be reading this cover to cover.
We have a release date! “The Devil at His Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty” is out Aug. 20. It’s about power, privilege, blood and the rural South and I can’t wait for you to read it. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/711848/t…
