And Special Delivery 2 to come in the new year!

Always up for a Douglas Adams-style sci-fi space adventure!

Best book wrap ever

Special Delivery 2 still needs a title. The crew is going to be stealing a cargo ship in order to get away. I am strangely drawn to The Freight Escape #SciFi

So, finished Special Delivery by @rexburke.bsky.social. Two thumbs up for this one. Great mil sci-fi story. Found family, great plotting, pushes through the story with breakneck speed. Delivers on every beat. Well worth it. Pick it up and enjoy. #booksky

If you’ve never heard - or heard of - Scottish folk musician Dick Gaughan, I urge you to try and find one of his songs this month. The man is a genius www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

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.

My shy & retiring SciFi pal @jnevair.bsky.social does not shout about his books enough, so when these two are available for only 0.99 and 1.99, duty calls 2.98 all in, for books 1 and 2 in an insanely good spy-fi series - your mission, should you choose to accept it #BookSky #SciFi #sciencefiction

I've read Stellar Instinct, and I can vouch for the light, fun, and fast! It made me think of MEN IN BLACK.

💥BOOKBUB Deal!💥 Stellar Instinct is .99c today! (U.S.) *Looking for that reset read that's light, fun, and fast?* Give the Agent Renault Spy-fi Adventures a try! 🚀(think THE LONG WAY TO A SMALL, ANGRY PLANET meets MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE🚀) LINK: www.bookbub.com/books/stella...

Diving into J. Nevair's spy-fi books is like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket of intrigue and adventure. Each page is a thrilling escape that nourishes the soul. Treat yourself! 💙📚 #BookSky #SciFi

🚨 BOOK DEAL! I shout about this often, but if you haven't read @jnevair.bsky.social & his spy-fi books you are not exercising enough self-care It's 0.99 well spent, trust me - pile on in #BookSky 💙📚🪐 #SciFi

My one-person novel-writing month accountability post 14 days of November, and 25k so far. I think that's pretty good. About a day ahead of the old NaNoWriMo target (1,666 words a day), and closing in on the second half of the story

After a very cool conversation today, I have now submitted all my books for legal deposit in the British Library. It's the law, so there's that, but it means that when the zombie hordes arrive & the world collapses, my books will live on in a dungeon in Wetherby Anyone else done similar? #BookSky

And today's work has been to cross out the word Prologue and call it Chapter 1 instead

Manuscript help! Anyone here with any medical/hospital knowledge? - I mean, a doctor would be cool. I have a problematic plot line… Character naming rights available for the preferred candidate #amwriting #indieauthor #writer #scifi

Tell me Lord Buddha, is there a practice that combines the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of yoga with a high-energy Taylor Swift-soundtracked workout in a drafty village hall? HIIT Yoga, you say? Tuesdays, after crochet club? Cool, I'm in

We've added so much SFF to our list this year and we're extremely pleased with how it's been received! Our newest title is KJ Taylor's incredible northern dystopia novel, The Year of the Rat! Do you dare see what lies behind the walls of The Institution? www.northodox.co.uk/product-page...

I absolutely loved these books. Actually, I love everything @rexburke.bsky.social writes, both fiction and travel books!

If you're into space opera incl. space pirates, double- and triple-crosses, space battles, and betrayal, The #RenegadeImperium boxes set is still priced to move: $2.99 for the whole set! But it won't last much longer so take the plunge now! www.amazon.com/dp/B0FX1S5ML9

Highly recommended! I loved these books and feel I might just have to read them all again to combat the autumn blues. They are such lovely feelgood novels!

I am suddenly getting LOTS of kind invitations from gmail addresses to market my books to book clubs for no fee, and no commitment, for the pure love of reading. And I say, ha! #SciFi #indieauthor #writer #amwriting

Love to see my crew badges out in the wild

Introduced a new character today. Had a scene all planned. The nerve of him - he's gone and got the old characters embroiled in some scenario I did not see coming. This just happens sometimes - makes things interesting! #amwriting #indieauthor #SciFi #SpecialDelivery

First time yoga today for me, and this was very much the vibe
