People need to be watching Drops of God. Criminally underrated show. I'm going to be crushed if there's no third season.

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

We don't need self-driving cars, we already have them. They're called taxis.

Wake up, babe, new Nanaimoteuthis just dropped

The folks at @sffworld.com were kind enough to interview me about the Common Saga, my influences, and what comes next. Really enjoyed doing this!

Delighted to hear that Shroud is up for best novel in this year's Hugos - www.lacon.org/hugofinalists/ - hell of a slate this year. The game category in particular has Silksong, Blue Prince and Clair Obscur going head to head, among others.

Get an anthology and go and support a good cause. I'll be chipping in for sure.

Man oh man I'd sell my soul to be able to write: Beastars (I love it, don't @ me) John Carter/Barsoom Titanfall

My author copies of Wolfskin have arrived! All three books in my first trilogy are home, safe and sound. Hard to describe the feeling. But it is definitely one of immense joy.😇

So, I've just had a book come out, so I'm gonna go and ask "Can I come on your podcast?" Not to talk about MY books, necessarily, but other cool things tangentially related like books/art/writing craft/aliens. Or anything, really. Happy to be invited, or take recommendations!

Project Hail Mary healed something in me. What a spectacular, dazzling gem of a film.

Today I swung by UNSW, the uni where I studied Creative Writing and Film Studies a decade ago, hoping to have my work published one day, only to find copies of Wolfskin on the uni bookshelf stores. All copies were left signed of course. Feels good to have come full circle.

Some extremely exciting news to finish off the week! I can’t wait to work with @solarisbooks.bsky.social and @alrutter.bsky.social to bring SHARDS OF STARLIGHT to you in Fall 2027!

Whenever I get asked for marketing advice, my answer always is: don't approach your peers with the mindset of "What can you do for me." But rather, go with: "What can we do for each other?" Find your people. Support the hell out of each other. That way, maybe we'll all survive the industry!

HOLY MOLY

I should really post a link: www.amazon.co.uk/Final-Archit...

I did actually have a bone removed (the pisiform bone). More for chronic pain than for the sake of publicity. Even I am not *that* insane. Probably.

Hey so my third book came out this week, but I'm recovering from major hand surgery (bone extraction) so my ability to promotion online is severely hindered. If you all can help spread the word about my feral space opera trilogy, I'll love you forever.

As an Australian who is half Lebanese, and has tons of family still living in Lebanon, the news today has been...hard. Really, really hard. I always wanted to go and see the country where my grandparents are from. Now I doubt I ever will.

I've had plenty of video reviews, but I've never had a full, essay-length video for my whole series. Immense thank you to @michaelcronk.bsky.social for such a wonderful gift. If this doesn't convince you to read my books, nothing will. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNvy...

This looks AWESOME. Will definitely be getting this book.

I did a little signing tour in Sydney today, starting with the awesome Kinokuniya Sydney. Thank you so much to all the staff, especially Alice and Eileen, for allowing me to come in! Also, Stormblood is still being stocked there even after 5 years. Awesome to see!

Many years ago, I had a (Big Five) publisher once tell me not to write adult fiction in first-person PoV, because "no one really connects with it". I sold my debut SF trilogy to a Big Five publisher, all written in first-person.

In Japanese, いぬ/inu means "dog" and たべもの/tabemono means "food". So you'd assume that dog food = inu tabemono. Right? Actually, dog food in Japanese is... doggu fudo/ドッグフード. And yes, it is said (and written) exactly as it is spelt.

Tonight's ear worm. I've lost count of the times I've listened to this song. Pure post-rock perfection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU8k...

The blog welcomed back Jeremy Szal to talk about their latest SF novel Wolfskin www.runalongtheshelves.net/interviews/2...

So we're doing the "promote yourself" thing which is awesome, but I'm gonna steal a moment to promote Jeremy Szal instead-- author of STORMBLOOD, BLINDSPACE, and the just-released WOLFSKIN! Give him some eyeballs. No, no, I mean metaphorically. That's disgusting. Put those back.

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

I have a weird relationship with social media. On one hand, I enjoy sharing my opinions and want EVERYONE to know about my latest thing, and to be apart of the conversation. On the other, I want to only create in isolation, resurfacing only to chat to friends, and let my work speak for itself.

New Author Interview - today we welcome @jeremyszal.bsky.social back to the blog to discuss their new novel Wolfskin, space opera and more! www.runalongtheshelves.net/interviews/2...

I feel this in my soul. Once you're "in" the publishing industry, when you're trying to sell the next thing, it can be so dangerously easy to let the machine of publishing poison your work. So painfully easy.

Hey, listen, Hollywood -- wacky idea, but maybe just maybe the key here is to make cool original stories because they sure seem to do well. If only there was an entire REALM of cool books by very cool authors you could use as the bedrock of those original stories. If only. *stares* *stares harder*

Happening today at @galaxybookshop.bsky.social with my nemesis @richardswanauthor.bsky.social. Come and see us roast each other to oblivion and back -and get a signed book or three.

I'm also doing an AMA over on r/scifi this morning. If anyone wants to ask some particularly thorny questions, here is your chance! (Link below)

This series is excellent! If you're a fan of Mass Effect (and aren't we all?) this will ABSOLUTELY be your jam! Congrats on wrapping this up, @jeremyszal.bsky.social. You should be incredibly proud of these books!

Happy publication day to me! With Wolfskin's release, the Common Saga, a project I started writing when I was 21 years old, is complete and out in the world forever. I hope you enjoy my savage little world. And please share far and wide. [links below]

New Review - happy publication date to this fine finale to a great series. I highly recommend the action packed space opera Wolfskin by @jeremyszal.bsky.social out now! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/...

All of these things are true.

Come celebrate the launch of Wolfskin with me on Christopher Ruocchio's YouTube channel, live in under 2 hours! We'll answer questions, talk all things writing and space opera and sci-fi, as we launch Wolfskin off into the big wide world! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzbC...
