I am at the point where Facebook has become my preferred social media outlet for interacting as a writer. It lets me post the essays that I want to write. Instagram is kind of okay, but it's image-centric. Threads is for short posts. Bluesky is too (and I have to use a VPN to get on it... shhhh 🤫).

We are all guilty. We all built this. I'm here, as you see. And I've curated my own subscriptions, like this one, that tell me what makes me feel vindicated. I'm guilty too. If you read THE INHERITORS and thought it was too grim, this sort of realization is where I was coming from when I wrote it.

Meh. Don't want to make this a megathread. #authorsky #writersky

I have made exactly one sale since someone tanked my rating a couple of weeks ago, probably over politics. This is deeply depressing. #booksky, IF YOU LIKE A BOOK, REVIEW IT. Especially if it's about a topic that will draw haters. Don't overthink how to do it "unproblematically." They sure don't.

When you realize you may not be the Hunter anymore.... (Scene from Chapter 13. www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4G2VVTT)

Hey, Facebook. www.facebook.com/EleanorThorn...

The second is *exactly* the kind of pseudo-activism that drives me bananas, as an atmospheric scientist who is profoundly concerned and wants to see *real* solutions to go to zero. It's not what you, little Joe and Jane Citizen, are doing that's the problem. We can prove that with models.

According to an as-yet-unreleased memo, the Department of the Interior will now subject effectively all new solar and wind project approvals to political review. @jael.bsky.social has the details:

🧵For my books, I have now tried several services. I compile my own ebooks, because I'm a LibreOffice/calibre/Sigil superuser, so this thread is about the printing services. I've got THE INHERITORS printing as a paperback from both draft2digital and KDP. It's identical and I own the ISBN, so I can.

Happy Bastille Day to all who observe! This year, I've certainly reflected on its significance.

Big announcement. On August 1, the HARDCOVER edition of THE INHERITORS will become available! Only $22.99 USD. It'll have a dust jacket, grayscale images to decorate the "new section" pages, more biographical info, a bit more hypercane info, and an EXCLUSIVE hardcover-only Afterword.

We got ourselves a website. And yes, I do mean "we." And not in the Gollum sense. At the moment, there is only one book in this publisher's catalog, by only one person, but that's going to change. Stay tuned! www.longshorerebelpress.com

Hey, meteorology Bluesky: For the past day and a half, many of you've called for BLOCKS of liberal accounts for "spreading misinformation." Insisted that the cuts made no difference. I.e., THAT THE NWS DIDN'T NEED THOSE VACANCIES FILLED. That is how I SAID it would be taken, and I was right.

The dark, graphic vengefulness of @otepofficial.bsky.social is exactly where my mood is at tonight. 🤘🎶

Today would be an excellent day to grab a copy of my book. Why, because it's 50% off for the Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale, Prime Week, and Kobo, of course! What did you THINK I meant? 😈 Just thought some discounted satire might hit the spot. GR: 5⭐ / Amazon: 4.5⭐ books2read.com/thorne-inher...

Some rather angry thoughts on the Texas floods. And I'm angry at my own profession, quite frankly. It's great to defend colleagues' work. But when you dive in with "they did GREAT and the cuts didn't matter a bit," YOU ARE CONCEDING POINTS TO THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CUT NOAA. Why would you do that?

The June Hypersale is over, but THE INHERITORS is now in the Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale! 50% off. 💙📚🪐📚🖋️ A timely, darkly comedic satire of anti-science political trends. Also hard sci-fi featuring a hypercane 🌀 and the Hurricane Hunters! ✈️ GR: 5⭐ Amazon: 4.5⭐ www.smashwords.com/books/view/1...

This is not just the removal of exemptions or subsidies. This is a TAX ON CLEAN ENERGY. Why? Because they see the people who work in green energy and climate science as the enemy. I really believe that this is no longer primarily about enriching the fossil-fuel industry. It's the culture war.

The climb continues, now for the paperback too! I was frustrated the first month, but it's catching on now that I'm buying ads so it gets seen. And it seems that April and May were rough all around for indie books. June has definitely been a bonanza for me, though. ☺️

Thank you everyone! Y'all are awesome! This may not look like much, but that is a big category for books. Made my Friday night! www.amazon.com/dp/B0F32S668S

The Summer/Winter Solstice is also #ShowYourStripes day. It's grim business even in New Orleans. And we know what warming means for Gulf Coast cities. 🌀 At the moment, US atmospheric scientists face the threat of rampant job loss and the dismantling of our work by #Project2025. We need advocates.

Anyone who will happen to be at the #NoKings protest in #Gulfport, MS tomorrow, I'll be there too! Handing out bookmarks and holding two signs. #foxtrotdeltatango

I think I am finally settled in on the #GulfofMexico Coast. To-do list: 📚 Finish reading all these books I've bought lately 👩‍💻 Review the people I promised 🏖️ Spend more time on the beach 💰 Sell my DC condo (in-progress!) ☀️ #Solar panels on my roof, now that I can! 🌀 Put up #hurricane shutters

For #HurricaneSeason, the paperback of THE INHERITORS is $15 on Amazon during June. 🌀 This is $3 USD in savings over the regular paperback price. I'm donating ≥10% of my royalties to @csldf.org to support climate scientists against the Trump admin. ⚡📚🖋️📚💙 Zon link: www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4G2VVTT

#Hurricaneseason is coming soon. 🌀 I'm profoundly irritated about the deliberate damage to @nws.noaa.gov, so I wrote a political #satire #clifi novel about anti-science and anti-intellectualism. "Don't Look Up" with a monster storm. A #beachread. Give it a try! ⚡📚🖋️📚💙 books2read.com/thorne-inher...

It's been a while, because I have been settling in after my move (to hurricane country! 🌀😁), but here's a summer read! My debut novel, THE INHERITORS. A timely #clifi political #satire by an angry US atmospheric scientist. Also a story about family trauma. 🪐📚💙⚡📚🖋️ books2read.com/thorne-inher...

Waveland, MS. 1.5 miles from the beach. 🏖️ This is where Katrina made landfall 20 years ago. HERE I AM. 😎 ROCK ME LIKE A HURRICANE. 🌀

I am a confirmed pessimist and cynic about "the people," so, yeah. Ia ia fthagn. Or, send the hypercane and be done with it.

Hurricane season officially begins on June 1. Early forecasts predict an active season. Get prepared:

Gah. Momentary panic when I saw what I thought was a major factual error in my paperback. It's the text "a borderline hypercane could form with merely 35°C water and -70° upper atmosphere temperature." That's true. I panicked and thought it wasn't because of this. Refs Emanuel et al. 1988 vs 1995.

Are you eagerly awaiting Carl Hiaasen's novel next Tues? Me too. May I suggest that you pass the time with THE INHERITORS? It's also a biting #satire set in #Florida. But it's #clifi and features a hypercane. 🖋️📚⚡📚💙 UBL: books2read.com/thorne-inher... On Kobo Plus. $0.99 at Smashwords w/coupon P9CQK

@carlhiaasen.com's novels have been a huge influence on me as a writer. 🐊 Florida 🌳 Environmental themes 😈 Political satire ⚖️ Natural justice My to-read list is bursting at the seams as it is, and my 1000-mile move back to the Gulf Coast is nigh. But it's just gained another entry: FEVER BEACH. 💙📚

One of the two big themes of THE INHERITORS is "We reap what we sow." Oh dear. But the other is "There's always hope." #clifi🪐📚 Free on Kobo Plus and $0.99 through May 11 (for #HurricanePrep Week 🌀) on Smashwords with the coupon P9CQK. Available elsewhere too: books2read.com/thorne-inher...

The storm in my #clifi novel seems insane. 400 mph winds? 670 mb pressure? How can that be possible? I wish it weren't, but the theory said it was, so I modeled it in the Weather Research & Forecasting model. Confirmed. 😬 Here's the output. 🌀 www.eleanorthorne.net/explore-the-...

Just added "All the Water in the World" by @eirencaffall.bsky.social to my read list. One word grabbed me, and it's not hard to guess what. Hello, fellow hypercane, uh, fan! And one that hits NYC, at that. Dang. 🌀😬 #clifi #postapocalyptic 🪐📚💙 Beach read, definitely! bookshop.org/p/books/all-...

In a 2051 with runaway #climatechange and a society rather like "Don't Look Up" x "Idiocracy," scientists still try to carry the torch of knowledge. #clifi The Hurricane Hunters 🌀✈️ are among them. Then the storm of the... century? millennium? geological epoch? forms. books2read.com/thorne-inher...

I'm really kicking myself for not researching this until now. Draft2Digital should put in boldface text "Kobo Plus does NOT give Kobo a monopoly. It is NOT EXCLUSIVE. Go wide!" This ⬇️ is all that's on their ebook publisher list. The Learn More link has the details, but this is kind of a big one.

Curious about my #clifi "The Inheritors" but want to try it first? It's on Kobo Plus. Subscribers read for FREE. And/or through May 11, in honor of #HurricanePrep Week, get it at Smashwords for $0.99 USD with the coupon P9CQK.🪐📚💙🌍 Or it's probably at your fav store: books2read.com/thorne-inher...
