So hyped to be able to reveal another project I've been working on for UniVersus!

Found this fun little kids geology book at the library yesterday and they reminded me of Zumi, so I had to check it out 😅

You know what time it is!!! #editing #writingcommunity #author #booksky💙📚🪐

New cover of Doomed by Bring Me The Horizon Check out the full video on my YouTube channel 🖤 link in bio!

I've peaked

Wow, I just finished Children of Time by @aptshadow.bsky.social and it's hands down the best book I've ever read. The worldbuilding is amazing, and gives you empathy for something you typically hate (at least I do). Then the twist in the last chapter is not one you see coming, but makes total sense

Excited to reveal the name and title logo for Book 2 in the Zero-Point Symphony series, Echoes of Ionia. As the crew continues their journey to Ion Prime, past and future collide as Altos returns home and makes a decision that redefines family and tradition. #booksky💙📚🪐 #scifi #yalit #cozy #author

Spent some time working on a name for book 2, and finally landed on a great one that encompasses the multiple themes inside! I'll be working on a logo and then revealing soon 👀 #writer #booksky💙📚🪐 #scifibooks #cozy

I'm about 2000 words away from finishing!!!

We are finally on our final chapter! I should start thinking of book names

1,300 words written tonight. The goal to be finished with this draft by end of February is becoming more achievable! #writersky

Always a good night when you sit down to write and manage to bash out 1000 words in 2 hours!

I don't understand why people would put so much effort into writing a book, and then sabotage it by using AI to create their book covers. Genuinely baffling. It immediately gives the impression that it's a cheap product and that the contents are also AI slop

Just looked up my royalties report fro Zero-Point Symphony and I just broke $100 in royalties! Again, I'm not in it to make money, and all royalties earned will be put back into the next book in the series. What it does do is make me extremely grateful that 1/

Sci-fi writers, what's the one big lie in your books? Where everything else is 99% plausible, but you pushed the boundaries for that one element of wonder? #writers #booksky💙📚🪐

Just letting you all know the Zero-Point Symphony paperback is available for $8.99 on Amazon (4.8⭐). If you like Cozy Sci-fi that's similar to Star Trek TNG, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. #booksky💙📚🪐 #startrek #scifi

Writing goals for 2026: Finish book 2 of Zero-Point Symphony and release by June. #writinggoals #booksky💙📚🪐

I'm thankful for the many people who have bought Zero-Point Symphony, and even more so for the people who I don't know that decided to spend some of their hard-earned money and give it a shot. I hope you enjoyed it, and stick around for the sequel next year!

New post up regarding progress on the sequel to Zero-Point Symphony! open.substack.com/pub/chrisrad... #booksky💙📚🪐 #cozy #scifi

Wrote two chapters of my sequel...then realized I hated the direction the characters were going in. So I went back and wrote a 4-page outline/guide for the second half of the book to flesh out a better direction. Much happier now! #booksky💙📚🪐

Very excited to get a new Stargate show, and more excited that it ISN'T a reboot! www.youtube.com/watch?v=e82u...

Think I'm reaching the halfway point of book 2—I'd best start thinking of a name soon! Curious to know how many of you include the first book's name as part of your sequels, example: Zero-Point Symphony: Ion Prime?

Want to see the source material for a lot of the #universus Heroes of Exandria booster cards - now's your chance!

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

When did we just accept that ICE is Trump's private army? Like, WTF

Played the Star Trek: Voyager Into the Unknown demo. It has a lot of promise. Really interested to see if the branching actually works and how far off the beaten path you're able to take the crew. If it can pull that off, then I am going to have a busy few months!

Thank you to everyone who bought a copy of Zero-Point Symphony in the Cozy the Day Away Sale! There's something deeply humbling about having people you don't know choose to engage with a creation of yours. If you are one of these people, please let me know what you think!

Is Kobo or the Barnes and Noble digital platform any good. Looking at removing my ebook from Amazon

Time to start a revolution! Let's reclaim the em dash! #authorsky #writer #booksky💙📚🪐

We broke 50 sales!

Question for my fellow #writers out there - does getting a Kirkus Review actually do anything for you, or is it just a moneymaking thing for them? #selfpublishing #indieauthors #suthorsky #writingcommunity #booksky💙📚🪐

#magicthegathering might be getting #startrek but #universus got it first! Lenticular transporting character cards baby! #lowerdecks #mtg

Finally got around to watching season 4 of For All Mankind and it really is just a fucking masterclass. Best show on television

AI isn't taking anyone's jobs, don't worry guys #booksky💙📚🪐 #writers #books #author

Checked my Amazon reports and I made another sale yesterday. It's awesome knowing that there's people out there interested in buying my book, who I don't personally know!

Welp, time stop supporting Disney/ABC and go back to pirating.

This isn't in any of my books (yet), but I had the coolest idea for a weapon and had to write a quick piece about it. A fun exercise in what happens when you apply the musical physics of your universe to weapons as well as technology. #booksky💙📚🪐 #physics #weapon #space #writing #quotes

Zero-Point Symphony is featured in this month's BookSirens Si-Fi Adventure bundle. Go check it out over here for a free ARC copy booksirens.com/bundle/scien... #booksky💙📚🪐 #scifi

On September 13th I'll be remove Zero-Point Symphony from Kindle Unlimited. Amazon has been doing a lot of shady stuff recently, especially with Audible, and I don't want to support any of their subscription models. #kindleunlimited #ku #booksky💙📚🪐

Pulling this up for the last day. Sunday is the last day you can pick up a copy of the ebook for free! #scifibooks #cozyscifi #booksky💙📚🪐 #startrek #cozyfantasy #kindleunlimited #kdp #writer #author
