UPDATE! 🌹🎉 I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99 Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy! #Fantasy #Author

Any fool can follow a flag.

Morally, we can only kill if we justify it, which is why we have become so very good at justifying it.

So I've been lamenting that Amazon hasn't matched the free price of Ronin of Vine Street in the US when today I suddenly realized that Amazon has matched the free price in the UK! I'm not complaining, but interesting that they didn't choose the US. 🤔 #booksky

Ronin of Vine Street is now available in paperback for only $6.99 which is just a little above cost for me (like .50 cents), so if you'd like a physical copy, go for it! www.amazon.com/dp/B0FP99K3K4 #amwritingscifi #scifinoir #booksky

Ronin of Vine Street Update: Since I'm moving to a new city for a new job, I need to wait and publish Ronin early in September. Thank you for your patience! #amwritingscifi #booksky

Maxwell is Martel's .44 magnum... #amwritingscifi #scifinoir #booksky

Excerpt from Ch 3 of The Nightmonger Murders, my next Martel PI story. Martel meets up with a Wulver gang, a canine race. #amwritingscifi #scifinoir #booksky

I wasn't originally planning on offering The Ronin of Vine Street in printed form (ebook only), but now I think I will so I can give something to the beta readers. #amwriting #booksky

I spent Prime Day looking through jobs on LinkedIn and crying a little. #primeday

Mysteries are like magic: misdirection is key. #amwriting #booksky

I finished writing ch 2 of the Nightmonger Murders. If the 1st ch was too short, this one is probably too long. I guess it all evens out. #writingscifi #scifinoir #booksky

Two people have looked at my new chapter that I posted and one of them was my sister. #amwriting

I redid the first chapter of my next Martel PI story, which is called The Nightmonger Murders. It's just a WIP but you can read it here: whmitchell.imperiumonline.com/2025/06/22/t... #amwritingscifi #scifinoir

Tell me if this blurb sounds too clunky: "In the city of Regalis, the life of a robot isn’t supposed to matter, but when Martel is hired to find one that’s gone missing, he discovers just how far someone will go for a robot." #amwritingscifi

Picking between whether I prefer my depression or my anxiety is like choosing between drowning and being set on fire. #depression #anxiety

A brief excerpt from Daffodil. I’m a doof…🙃 #booksky #writingcommunity

I finished ch 1 of my next Martel PI story, but reading it after a few drafts, I hate it very much. It's terrible. So, I will rewrite more of it until hopefully I don't hate it quite so much.

To all the new followers to my account, I'm genuinely interested to know why you chose to follow me. Did you see me following someone else or was my account listed somewhere? Please let me know! I'd appreciate it! #booksky

I've officially given the Ronin of Vine Street beta manuscript to the editor. When she's done, I'll go over it and then pass it on to the beta readers. Should be ready to publish around August. #amwritingscifi #scifinoir #booksky

It looks like someone in Germany previously bought the first 3 books in my Imperium Chronicles series, and today they bought the final 3 books. Danke schon! #booksky

WIP of the first scene of my Martel PI book, Nightmonger. #amwritingscifi #scifinoir #booksky

I finished writing the last chapter of Ronin of Vine Street, but I'm unhappy with it. I really need to nail the landing, otherwise it can ruin an otherwise good book. #writingscifi #scifinoir #booksky

Why are so many political accounts suddenly following me?

Just a heads up: Although I may post a "political-ish" post from time to time, the purpose of this account is to talk about writing (mostly my own). I just don't want to disappoint anyone who might be expecting anything else. No hard feelings if you want to unfollow as a result. :-)

I was struggling with the climactic scene of Ronin of Vine Street for the last several days. It finally clicked today and I was able to write 700+ words. The scene still isn't done, but it was such a relief to get something down. #writingscifi #scifinoir #booksky

I started writing the last chap of Ronin of Vine Street last weekend. If you haven't read any Martel PI stories yet, Ashetown Blues is avail free on several platforms (only .99 cents on Amazon). You can take your pick of platforms here: books2read.com/ashetownblues #booksky

WIP of a conversation btw Danny D (who is a Tikarin, a feline race) and Martel in the final chapter of Ronin of Vine Street. #booksky

I spent part of yesterday brainstorming ideas for my next Martel PI book. I've got enough now that I can start the outlining process like I did with Ronin of Vine Street. #scifinoir #amwritingscifi

I've written the first sentence of my next Martel PI book: “The sun planted itself like an angry seed below the horizon and behind the buildings of Regalis, the Imperial Capital.” #booksky #amwritingscifi #scifinoir

Hello! I'm the author of the "10 Cent Universe", a sci-fi macrocosm of genre-bending stories. "The Starship Australis Mysteries" follows a disgraced detective on a generation ship, while "Gunslingers of Gaea" is a western series on a new planet orbiting Tau Ceti. Lots more books/series on the way!

It's interesting but I'm getting more "likes" from my Bluesky followers than either Twitter or Threads. It's possible there's just fewer people reading my posts here so I don't get lost in the shuffle... #booksky

Here's book 2 & 3 (book 1 is checked out) of my Imperium Chronicles series at the Overland Park-Indian Creek library. I totally forgot I had signed and inscribed something in each one when I donated them! #booksky

I wrote this today. It's not exciting, but it captures Martel's mood. #amwritingscifi #scifinoir #booksky

The dirt on our shoes tells a story of where we've been.

Quite by accident, I discovered that the local library has my first 3 books and somebody even has the first one checked out! I dropped books off there over a year ago and it appears they finally added them to the collection! #booksky

I finished the first draft of Ch 18 of Ronin of Vine Street. Two more chapters I think and then the first pass of my scifi noir novel (Martel PI) will be done. #booksky

Since I haven't started writing the Nightmonger yet, naturally I had to do a mockup cover. This is what I have so far (original photo by Rúben Gál (pixabay.com/photos/at-ni...). #amwritingscifi #scifinoir
