Flying Dutchman–about that “End Part One” genedoucette.me/2026/03/24/f...

Do I have any Nebula voters following me? I have six (!) eligible titles from 2025 to point you toward, but the ones I'm most excited about are "Rthing It Up: An Oral History" and "Elegy for Zephyr One". Both were published in Lightspeed, links below. Give them a read, and consider your vote!

My newest short story, ELEGY FOR ZEPHYR ONE, is available today in Lightspeed Magazine! www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/eleg...

"I enjoyed this but it was too short." My dude, it was a novella.

honestly, coming up with additional ways to skin cats doesn't seem like a great use of my time

Asked my wife what we were planting in the garden and she said "seeds" and you'll be happy to know I did not leave her on the spot

It's release day, for my very first short fiction collection!

been watching Star Trek: Voyager and I think it's really fortunate that they had something like 27 shuttles aboard when they got lost in the gamma quadrant #startrek

Me, trying to explain why I won't turn on the GenAI plagiarism machine my employer installed on my work laptop: I am not a Luddite; I am a novelist.

Can't wait for the day Disney decides to make animated versions of the live action versions of the animated versions of their movies

Great story by @genedoucette.bsky.social , but I recommend listening to it as narrated by the great @stefansecho.bsky.social & friends, he had me giggling the whole time.

Third-party merchants are "selling" copies of out-of-print editions of my books on Amazon in what is clearly money-laundering, and IDK what I can do about it.

Thanks @jdnicoll.bsky.social for the mention

Reactor has a nice mention of The Apocalypse Seven. reactormag.com/into-the-aby...

Oh hey, with all the End of Western Civilization going on, I nearly forgot I have a book coming out Tuesday

Finished S3 of REACHER. Best part was when the enormous Alan Ritchson, as Reacher, fought the even more enormous Olivier Richters. The height difference reminded me of when Tom Cruise played Reacher and fought (checks notes) normal-sized humans.

The Maryland Terrapins have a player named Queen on their team, and now Kevin Harlan dramatically intoning, "The TALented Queen" is going to be living in my head for the rest of my life #marchmadness

Just finished uploading the final final final version of THE WISDOM OF SAND to all the relevant vendors, and can I just say that my greatest fear is of one day loading the wrong file in an update? #writing #selfpublishing

One of these things is not like the others

Current economic policy: punching ourselves in the face and asking other countries why they keep punching us in the face

Question: How many of you are typing "The End" at the end of your books? I have never, ever done this. In fact, the only time I've even SEEN it is in movies when the film is short-handing the fact the main character, an author, is done with his big manuscript. #writing #authors #amwriting #fiction

The hardest part about editing is writing first draft words that'll fit into a fourth draft document #amwriting

Heard a DJ announce an upcoming song by Pete "Town-SHend" and did not drive off the road. Feels like I should receive some kind of safe-driver credit for that, but I can't get anyone at the insurance company to agree with me

Wife, eating cookie, to the dog: You can't have this. It's chocolate. Dog, to me: Is this true? Dog, to me: Am I a dog??

gonna go out on a limb here, but i think the lesson is we should stop cloning dinosaurs

I don't like salmon, but every now and then I try it again just in case I'm missing out on something. Maybe my tastes have changed. But every time, it turns out I still really hate salmon. Which brings me to the Kendrick Lamar halftime show... #superbowl

I finished a draft of Sunset Station book two yesterday. Title (unless I think of a better one in the editing process) is LAST CONTACT. Meanwhile, book one (THE WRONG SIDE OF SUNDOWN) is five days away. #writing #scifi

Won't be paying my taxes this year until after I've conducted an ideological review of how the funds are being spent
