Adventures in food! Writers, make sure your book contract demands a human translator for when you want to have your book translated to other languages. Or you could be eating larb with extra options.

What beautiful New Year's artwork! Just so awesome.

The best comic out there!

Four more days left for this (largely SFF, and quite a few LGBTQIA+ MC's) book bundle!

Love this. If only we could keep moving forward.

I’m so ready to reveal this title and book cover to third and final book in my fantasy series. It’s beautiful, epic, and most importantly, so ancestral.

"What's your mother going to say when she finds out you took my case? She said Kincaid couldn't help me." "SYLVIA Kincaid can't help you." Never sleep with the divorce attorney.... it's the oldest cliche in the book. www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxHec...

Democratic-led resolution would require US president to seek Congress’s approval to use military against Venezuela

Best books I read in 2025, not counting rereads. (4/17) #booksky #books #bookchallenge

Did you know many authors sell books and audio from their own stores? I started a list: www.bearmountainbooks.com/home/authors... @ilonaandrews.bsky.social @gailcarriger.bsky.social cory doctorow, @roseprendeville.bsky.social Jami Gray, Nia Quinn, and more! (Add your store in the comments!)

As soon as I get EV or solar...Japan has had bidirectional energy with EV for a while from what I understand.

My three favorite reads of 2025 are up over @shepherdbooks.bsky.social shepherd.com/bboy/2025/f/... I read over 100 books this year and these were top picks. #booksky

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Happy New Year--may there be plentiful flowers, bees and vegetables in your magical garden. May all your spells go off without a hitch and the gnomes you encounter kind. Maybe Peace, good health and gentle hugs be your future.

PERFECT!!!!

A new year is the perfect time to turn the page and become the writer you’ve always imagined. It’s never been easier to publish, indie authors control their creative future, and readers care about great stories—not how they’re published. New year. New you. New story. Go write. ✍️📚

Would be great if there were buy links here on bluesky! Great cover and sounds interesting.

Started looking for stock art/illustration/watercolor of a roadrunner for a novel/cover art today. Every single one I saw was tagged as being made with AI. ARGH. I'm going to have to take up watercolor!!!!

Last week of the audio sale over at Kobo! #booksky

Really good read #booksky! Whole series is fast-paced, twisty fun (There is torture in Treachery and quite a bit of violent fighting if you need to skip those scenes!) Urban Fantasy

Good books. Made my 2025 list: www.bearmountainbooks.com/home/2025-fa...

Conventions, if you use AI do not be surprised if creators turn down your invitations to be guests or even to be on panels. Do not use tools trained on stolen work from creators and then tell them you want to honor or uplift them - that’s not what you’re doing. You’re stealing and being lazy.
