"Kenai" was one of the sci-fi books that @michaelshotter.com read and enjoyed this year but Dave Dobson has many others worth investigating as well, in various genres. He's also a returning SPSFC judge. Needless to say, he's a busy fellow. 🪐📚💙 Michael's Review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Ah, Written Word Media, where they worship golden pants.

All of Team 1.21 Gigawatts' #SPSFC5 25 entries in one place with intros? Hell yeah. davedobsonbooks.com/team-1-21-gi...

Here's an intro to our first five contestants for Team 1.21 Gigawatts in the 5th annual #SPSFC. davedobsonbooks.com/team-1-21-gi...

Just one of those mornings where dream me somehow has cancer and is married to a feisty man. It’s possible I ate too much yesterday.

The giveaway for today's challenge is The Glorious and Epic Tale of Lady Isovar by @davedobson.bsky.social featuring its amazing new cover art!

The first post of the day is a review of Becoming a Druid by Mike Mollman as written by Dave @davedobson.bsky.social #AMoRsR www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-book-...

My review of Becoming a Druid by @mikemollman.bsky.social is up on ReadIndieFantasy! www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-book-...

Hey, this is our team!!

I got a new cover made for #SPFBOX semifinalist The Glorious and Epic Tale of Lady Isovar. The artist is Laurent Reis. I couldn't be happier - I think it better expresses the silliness of the story. The book is a humorous fantasy with an over-the-top lady knight and her long-suffering squire.

I'm on judging team 1.21 Gigawatts for #SPSFC! This looks like a great group of books, and I'm excited to start reading. #SciFi #ScienceFiction

My judging group, Team 1.21 Gigawatts, has received their allotment for the 5th annual Self-Published Science Fiction Competition (#SPSFC). Very exciting, and looks like a great group of books.

I'll be on the excellent Bald and Balding show talking about worldbuilding in writing tonight at 7pm ET. Stop by and tell us how wrong we are. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX24...

Doesn't have to be the end, dude. We'll make more anytime.

The fifth #SPSFC is about to close for entries and we're looking for a few more judges: spsfc.space/2025/11/07/l... Come for the free books. Stay for the Discord community full of self-published authors and avid science fiction readers.

These questions were really fun!

I did an interview as part of a month-long celebration of indie authors over at ReadIndieFantasy.com. The questions were fun! Read it here: www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter...

An unexpected danger of making your little kids pancakes in shapes they request (dinosaur! robot!) is that at 28, they ask for mass spectrometer. I went more schematic than photorealistic. Sample at the top, magnetized plates on the sides, collector at the bottom, an ion or two heading down.

Sometimes I think the book marketing scammers must actually be comedians.

Another milestone - my first book to reach 700 ratings on Amazon. Thanks to all who followed Morris' story (and don't forget Vampire Steve). Available in print, ebook, and audio. books2read.com/b/b6YKw0

An odometer milestone: 200 ratings for Lady Isovar. Thanks to all who've spent time with Chevson and Izzy!

Trying to imagine the boardrooms of the inflatable costume companies, who could not imagine their ship coming in in quite this way.

The fifth annual Self-Published Science Fiction Competition is ready to go! I've entered twice, and it's been a wonderful experience and a great community of authors and book enthusiasts. I'll be judging this year for the second time. spsfc.space/2025/10/13/h...

Four hundred ratings for Daros. So many thanks to everybody who's spent time with Brecca, Frim, and Lyra. Y'all rock.

My mysteries are looking sharp now that they have matching covers from Abigail Blanchard.

My latest is off to a good start on Goodreads.

Ready to sling some books with @mikemollman.bsky.social at Big Lick Comicon in Greensboro! Tomorrow and Sunday!

Kenai is free until Friday! Grab a copy of my award-winning space opera story of a disgraced former marine on a lonely planet. www.amazon.com/Kenai-Dave-D...

13 ChatGPT-generated fake book marketers in 24 hours, some of them writing multiple times. "The vast potential of AI," they keep telling us.

The ebook for my mystery, Unwelcome Matt, is free until Wednesday. A librarian finds her housemate vanished and a dead body on her couch, and that's not even the worst day she's in for. Grab a copy on me! books2read.com/b/unwelcomem...

The Expanding Universe Vol. 11 is out, and I've got a story in it. Over 700 pages of sci-fi stories by 26 authors. Free for Kindle Unlimited users, and only $4.99 for the ebook. geni.us/TEU11

I got interviewed about my book Daros by SFFWorld. Some great questions to ponder. www.sffworld.com/2025/09/inte...

A week's worth of book marketer scams, all fake people with throwaway gmail accounts, all messages written by AI.

Just got my copy of The Expanding Universe 11, a monster of an anthology of military sci fi, and home to one of my stories. The book officially releases on the 15th, but I got one early. 648 pages of space adventures!

Still can’t believe my book, SAINT ELSPETH, won the SPSFC4. Thank you! Special thanks to @davedobson.bsky.social @spsfc.bsky.social

Reading ‘Unwelcome Matt’ by one of my favourite indie writers, @davedobson.bsky.social - fast-paced thriller with cool librarian vibes - and there’s this perfect description of new books - ‘like little ambassadors of goodwill’ And I just LOVE that #BookSky #bookreviews #indieauthor 💙📚

I've commissioned new cover art for Got Trouble. It's by Abby Blanchard, and now my three North Carolina mysteries all have Abby's art, which is really cool. If you haven't checked out Glynnis' adventures, you're in for a treat, and the other two are great fun as well.

The absolute best thing about creating stuff is when somebody likes what you made.

I hit a cool odometer milestone on GoodReads today - 2000 ratings by readers. Very neat.

It's always a thrill to have a book become a real thing in the world.

In celebration of both my birthday and the recent release of Unwelcome Matt, you can get two of my funny, quirky mysteries for free until August 30. Enjoy! Reposts and shares welcome - thanks!

It's release day! My new mystery novel Unwelcome Matt is out in ebook with paperback coming soon. Amy is about to evict her housemate, but he's disappeared, and now there's a body on her couch and a bunch of shadowy players at work. books2read.com/unwelcomematt
