A GREAT SCI-FI BOOK I'd like to recommend Skylark in the Fog by @helynalc.bsky.social. This chonker scifi story has phenomenal worldbuilding and I enjoyed reading it very much. #SciFiSeptember 📚💙 🪐📚

Folks, if you love audiobooks, if you want creators to be able to keep MAKING audiobooks, you're going to have to start... paying for audiobooks. Not subscriptions. Audiobooks themselves. Because Amazon are absolutely intent on paying creators even less. They aren't cheap to make.

Both KU and Audible have been marketing tools to train readers into devaluing books, and have both required exclusivity clauses from authors and small presses (but not large tradpub) to earn reasonable (but ever-diminishing) royalties.

WOULD I VISIT THE AKRODAXIS? I think I would visit the Akrodaxis, especially if I could be an årdrakin when I did it. Despite the grim circumstances surrounding our introduction to this galaxy, I think overall it's an exciting, interesting place that has a lot going for it. #SciFiSeptember 📚💙 🪐📚

This is the map that goes with The First Sin. I created it in Wonderdraft. It doesn't appear in the book itself because I'm not sure I'll have maps for the rest of the series, but I do plan to sell 10x14" prints once the Canada Post strike is over. #fantasymaps #cartography #bookmaps

Very, very soon, I get to show you the cover for Learning To Bleed by the very talented @scherville.com I'm always excited about cover reveals but I think this is one you're going to ✨eat right up✨ (that was a vampire joke, laugh 😘)

Fonts as epic fantasy characters: "What news?" barked King Garamond. "Trouble," said the royal envoy, Courier New. "Wraiths in the outer wastes." Lord Palatino, the king's high adviser, frowned. The royal jester, Comic Sans, tried in vain to raise a smile. "Send Bodoni the Bold," the King said.

@jennelikejennay.bsky.social Just curious, will you be doing another sci-fi prompt game for October? The September one has been really fun!

A must read for writers. I'm seeing same thing Jason is seeing, in form of scammers' creation of online "readers' communities" populated with bots. AI adoption by foreign scammers has been expanding since 2023 but this year has really been a watershed. They're becoming impossible to keep up with.

After The First Sin comes Emergence, Book Two in the All Our Sins Saga. The skarastaja can finally go to the stars to wage their holy war of vengeance! But all is not as they expect, and Senmatu quickly finds that waging war is more complicated than she realized. 📚🩵 🪐📚 #scifi #indieauthor

SNIPPET: ARTIFICIAL "Artificial" only appears twice in The First Sin, once in reference to waterways and once in reference to light. In Emergence, the word appears three times, all in reference to fabricated environmental conditions aboard a starbase. #SciFiSeptember 📚💙 🪐📚

Gulf is on sale—and consequently, got a nice bump up the Amazon ranks today. More importantly, for a ridiculous, brief moment, I can say it is ranked higher than The Lord of the Rings in an ebook category on Amazon. 😀 It’s the small things! #gulfshellycampbell

Not gonna lie, all the excitement of the past few days has left me feeling drained. I need a nap!

We’re at the MVC comic con at the Pomeroy Inn and Suites on Olds today! We’be got lots of autographed books and art and cannot wait to see your beautiful faces! All day until 4pm.

ATTITUDE TOWARD ROBOTS If we assume they exist somewhere, people's attitude toward them probably varies by individual. Some will see them as merely a tool, while others might see them as people. Plus, it their attitude will probably depend on the sophistication of the robot. #SciFiSeptember 📚💙 🪐📚

Aw man, I just found out Craig’s Way Station in Canmore is gone! They even demolished the building! 😩 It was a wonderful restaurant, really sad that it had to close.

It's my BIRTHDAY WEEKEND 🎉 While I'm not normally a fan, this year, my book baby EXISTS IN THE WORLD, and what better way to celebrate than to throw a little book sale? 👀 Starting today, the TEMPEST, TAKE ME HOME ebook can be yours for only $0.99 USD. Every sale is a gift to me!

I made this into a desktop wallpaper and it makes me unspeakably happy every time I see it. If beautiful character art leads people to buy my book when it's out, that's great! But the *reason* I commission art is to see my characters rendered and delight in it. I share because it brings me joy.

Okay, so...anyone here feeling inclined to beta read Untwined? ✨ - I'll send it end of October the latest BUT I need the feedback by January - knowledge of the first book, Imbued, is necessary, I can send it to you also - mostly need large scale stuff, what feels right/wrong, what's missing info ⬇️

Hand sprayed some edges today and these books looked so good, they needed a trailer video! Plus, they’re ON SALE!!! Pass it on! #horrorbooks #booksale @EerieRiver🇨🇦 #darkwalkerseries #gulfshellycampbell

This is as much true for myself as it is for all of us

I wrote down some of my thoughts about the impending release of The First Sin. Check it out on my book blog! akairondragon.ca/books/aos/re... #blog #blogging #indiepub #authors

INTELLIGENCE IN EXISTING MACHINES I want to say "Probably not". I don't think emerging intelligence would be something I'll explore in the Akrodaxis. But you never know. #SciFiSeptember 📚💙 🪐📚

The First Sin is a chonky, gritty, spicy 600+ page scifantasy read that is perfect for those crisp autumn days when you want to snuggle down and be whisked away to another world. Preorder: ubl.akairondragon.ca/3quj8li4ak Swag: forms.gle/PDmhbutLdRzm... Coming October 23, 2025! 📚🩵 🪐📚 #bsnm #scifi

It’s just kind of sinking in now that my book is… *out there*

DO ROBOTS HAVE RIGHTS? If we assume other members of the Akrodaxis galactic community have robots or androids, I feel like this question depends largely on the society they are in. Not every member is wholly benevolent, so they may or may not see their robots as people. #SciFiSeptember 📚💙 🪐📚

Good news everyone! Paperbacks and hardbacks of The First Sin are going to start becoming available for preorder at certain online retailers in the next few days. I’ll update the preorder link in my pinned post as they become available. ✨ Watch this space!

AI NOT IN A ROBOT BODY Since there are no real AIs in the Akrodaxis yet, and no robot characters, there are no AIs just floating around. The closest might be the Entity that inhabits each ship, but the Entity is not an AI. #SciFiSeptember 📚💙 🪐📚

For the morning/midday crowd. 😊 📚🩵 🪐📚 #books #scifi #scifinovels

ROBOT CHARACTERS So far, there are no robots or androids in the Akrodaxis. Having them would probably require real AI for a more "advanced" character, and since the årdrakin don't use real AI, creating robot characters hasn't been something I need to do. #SciFiSeptember 📚💙 🪐📚

The årdrakin don't use real AI. They have AHAs (automated house attendants) which are kind of like early JARVIS from the MCU. Their ships blend the ship's organic consciousness with the stardrive's perceptual sapience and the onboard computer to create the Entity. #SciFiSeptember 📚💙 🪐📚
