This is a tempest prognosticator. It predicts storms by using leeches. This is absolute mad scientist levels of innovation and I'm here for it. Lol

It's officially British summer. It's time people of all political flavours unite against the country's biggest threat.

New book review on @sffinsiders.com - The Martian Incident by @ryanpatrickauthor.bsky.social A standalone science fiction thriller that's perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Andy Weir, or James Rollins! www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...

A very fair and accurate 4-star review of The Martian Incident.

That's me while working on my current WIP ...🤣😭 #booksky #authors #writers #books #WritingCommunity

If you love #SciFi and/or #MilitaryAction, The Martian Incident by @ryanpatrickauthor.bsky.social should be on your TBR. Highly realistic, lot of nuanced technical details and great action. #Booksky

He writes AND he fights!

I can't get over these writers complaining when their characters 'take over' and 'do things they didn't expect.' Shit. My characters are all clearly lazy m-fers. I WISH they'd do some of the work for me. I have to plot every damned thing myself.

This one deserves further exploration. The over-burdened colleague of the agent asked me to "show [him] what [I'm] working on." I shared an early draft of The Other Eight. It turns out "show me what you're working on" means something polished and marketable. Not, you know, what you're WORKING on.

www.space.com/space-explor... going to go on console on Saturday night/Sunday morning now - my third first-in-family launch (Falcon 9 Block 5, Falcon Heavy)!

Need to take a step back and rework a subplot in Crush Depth, likely from the beginning. Probably not touching that until January...so time to work on my other WIPs 😄. #amwriting #writingcommunity

The professional novelist must constantly struggle with the most profound questions of existence, such as: 'have I just spent 6 months writing a pile of shit?'

5 best books I've read (or reread) this year: 1. My Brother's Keeper by Tim Powers 2. Sun & Steel by Yukio Mishima 3. God-Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert 4. Conqueror's Pride by Timothy Zahn 5. Storm Front by Jim Butcher

From the contemporary/urban fantasy I'm working on in the background. #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting

Here's what I'm planning to get done in 2025! ryanmpatrickauthor.com/2024/12/09/2...

"W Glenn" 😅

New prologue to Crush Depth, introducing one of the main red herrings (Die Glocke).

This makes me feel positively ancient

Can you tell when I turned off ads? 😂

Cool blog post I've been working on about the Pentagon prepublication review process I have to go through for each of my releases. ryanmpatrickauthor.com/2024/11/26/p...

As many of you probably know, DelRey has begun re-issuing the Drizzt books in the new trade paperback format. The first 6 are out not (Dark Elf and Icewind Dale Trilogies), with the next four coming in the next couple of months. You can get them signed/personalized at RASalvaStore.com

10 shows to get to know me: (in no specific order) 1. Stargate SG-1 2. Babylon 5 3. Star Trek: The Next Generation 4. Seinfeld 5. Burn Notice 6. Reacher 7. The Expanse 8. The X-Files 9. 24 10. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Amazon turned my AMS ads off yesterday for no reason 🙃. Turned them back on today, we'll see how long it takes to spin back up. Really close to my first three-figure royalty month!

I thought rewriting Crush Depth with additional POVs was going to solve all of the issues I've had with it, but I think it's making the plot more convoluted. #Writing is hard!

5 authors I’ve read 5+ books by: Tom Clancy Timothy Zahn Clive Cussler Michael Crichton James Rollins

Hey #authorsky #booksky, what are your non-book inspirations and influences?

Fellow #writers, what do you do when you're halfway through a rewrite of a technothriller novel - and it's going well - but you have the coolest idea for a contemporary primary world fantasy, a love letter to Tim Powers set in your hometown, come into your brain and it won't come out?
