Hey #TimeTravelAuthors! Anyone on BookFunnel want to join this sales promo for September (Time Travel theme): dashboard.bookfunnel.com/bundles/boar... I really like BF promos, both for sales and especially for newsletter signups. Cheers!

It's pub day for a fellow #TimeTravelAuthor and expert in history! This is book 4 in an excellent YA #timetravel series chock-a-block with accurate historical details. It's like a better, YA version of that kid's treehouse series that even adults enjoy. Congrats, @andrewvargaauthor.bsky.social!!

I highly agree with this opinion. I enjoy reading several genres, both fiction and nonfiction, and there is definitely a correct moment for every book ... after proper aging... 😁 #amreading

May reading is complete! I'm satisfied but sad about The Expanse series. I also highly recommend Extinction (#thriller, plenty of gore, FYI) and Eleanore of Avignon (#histfic, 1348). What did you read and like in May? #amreading

Those of you who have read 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 and my short stories in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦, do you view my writing as straight up science fiction (cozy scifi) or science fiction romance? I'm very curious to hear what my readers think versus my publisher/editor! TY!

My sci-fi adventure "Lena, Writing on Stone" is among 18 short stories that appear in this anthology--a steal at only $0.99. www.amazon.com/Altered-Worl...

Stopped at my local B&N for a copy of local author Jeff Michelson's ANTICIPATION DAY, a #scifi novel w 6 ppl in a simulation. A cool, unique take on AI! If you're in the Morristown NJ area Th evening, consider dropping by his pastrami restaurant w fellow author Victoria Schon. Link 👇

Some musings on #timetravel ... ... and what an impact one person can have today. Makes you think, doesn't it? (Also, it gives me a novel idea....) (Also, on a less serious note, how great is The Office?!) #TimeTravelAuthors

I need some advice from the BS Writing Community regarding websites - help! Currently my Wordpress site is hosted on SiteGround, and it's up for renewal at $400 for 2yrs. Yikes! I'm not broke, but is there a more affordable option that still lets me customize my site? Cheaper host? Wix? BookBub? TY

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Where would we be without our indie bookshops?! 🥳📚📖 I love Black Dog Books in Lafayette, NJ, Sparta Books in Sparta, NJ, The Collective Bookshop in Vernon, NJ, the Book Barn in Rockaway, NJ, and all the local shops that fill my shelves! #IndieBookStoreDay2025

I found out this week there actually is a limit to the amount of writing I can do in a day, and my eyes tell me that limit. I guess I'm happy after all that I have a PT job. A change is as good as a rest. #authorsofbs #WritingCommunity

Brilliant! I need this!

When you're 74K words into your MS but just passed the Midpoint in your outline... 🤦‍♀️ ... And you hate editing ... and you're bad at killing your darlings! SF can run long, right? Right?! #WritingCommunity #amwriting #sciencefiction

#TimeTravelAuthors My publishing journey involved a lot of querying, a lot of closed doors in 2020 onward, and being open to hybrid publishing. SCATTERED was born with Silversmith Press's help in 2023. Some flash was up before then, and 2 #timetravel stories in this awesome TT anthology!

#TimeTravelAuthors day 13. Time travel can be confusing! You have to make laws for time travel & stick to them. In SCATTERED, I developed clear cause and effect rules, then I had to set up a spreadsheet to keep it straight. And talk with Mr. B to double check; but a reader may always poke a hole!

A friend recently told me that the ultimate answer to the meaning of life, "42," was given a deeper meaning by Douglas Adams. A true Easter egg if there ever was one. Did you already know this? What do you think of it? #amreading #sciencefiction #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy

Just tonight at dinner, daughter #1 was telling us how she dislikes large social events, and that she "just wants to read my book and ignore people." Same, girl, same! What about you? (My child is actually polite and well-mannered. I guess she resists the urge!) #amreading #bookproblems

Writing a book is weird. You can't do it all in one fell swoop, so it's like a movie is playing in your head, and you're transcribing the movie in real time...but you keeping having to push the pause button to, like, eat and sleep and do laundry and work a day job so you return to the movie later...

#TimeTravelAuthors Days1/3 Elie Rutherford time travels back to Isaac Newton's era to publish the 3 fundamental laws of motion, cementing women's status as primo physicists. HA! Actually, she accidentally time travels to 1906 to 2006 and has a heck of a time living a secret life, trying to return.

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 23 Being an introvert myself, I default to writing introverted characters! In SCATTERED, Will Hertz is definitely so, and especially when he needs to keep a secret, with Elie, from everyone he knows.... In my upcoming (🤞) standalone SF, my MC is also introverted!

Need a writing prompt? My writing group's leader brought us story maps from elizabethwadestudio.com/collections/... with the task to write a short story from the perspective of a minor character. Awesome, right?! SUCH beautiful maps! I did Bingley from P&P. Might do Pippen from LOTR next time!

Who's waking up overnight Thursday to see the lunar #eclipse2025?! We'll have a whole HOUR of totality! (Subtract 5h to get EST times.)

I'm coming to Barnes & Noble in Ledgewood, NJ this Saturday! Can't wait to meet new and current readers! #amwriting #TimeTravelAuthors #booksigning #sciencefiction #physics

I don't often ask this, but have you read, liked, and reviewed 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙? A review on the 'Zon helps a book's visibility SO MUCH! 𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 is sitting at 98 reviews right now ... can you help me crest 100? You have my eternal thanks, dear readers! #bookreviews

Vol 3 (on left, published 12-8-24) is free on AZN Kindle until Friday, March 7. After then, you can't go back in time and grab the copy you're pining after right now...

I love this! I'll be using this method on my next revision - as well as while writing my newest MS. I usually look at each scene and ask "What is the point?" If it moves the story along, I keep it. This method is deeper.

#TimeTravelAuthors In SCATTERED, Elie is from 1906 and William is from 2006. Since Elie has adjusted fairly well to 2006, I think she's practiced enough to try other periods - and she'd do great in the Regency era. Will is a chill guy, so I think he'd adapt anywhere!

A dozen contributing authors to the 𝘈𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 anthology chatted about #timetravel, writing, and our short stories in Vol1-3. Was GREAT to put faces to names of authors I've "met!" Great convo! #TimeTravelAuthors #amreading Watch here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sHf...

The #TimeTravelAuthors hashtag is for answering prompt questions, if you’d like to share more about your book and be part of a community.

One day late, #TimeTravelAuthors.... but Day 9: In SCATTERED, my favorite setting (besides Montreal itself) is Elie's roommate's apartment. Jeanne is 80 years old and keeps a veritable greenhouse with her south-facing windows. I ❤️to picture Elie amongst the leaves, reading, Chopin in the air...

Love #timetravel books? 🙋‍♀️Me too! So many great TT #indiebooks! This is a time travel sales promo I'm in (any genre; romance is closed door). I recommend @authorjrstevens.bsky.social 's Beryl Blue Time Cop in the promo, a fellow TT anthology author! books.bookfunnel.com/Timetravelal...

Was looking for a specific #timetravel book I couldn't recall the title of, so I searched for "time travel book released 2024" in Duck Duck Go and found this! www.bookbub.com/blog/time-tr... Some superb reads here, including Myriad by @joshuadbellin.bsky.social , which I really enjoyed!

When I outlined SCATTERED, I had Elie and William as pretty much falling in love immediately. It was more a romance novel than scifi. Then I dialed that back and made them friends with the "will they ever get together?" vibe til the end. Think Jim and Pam, seasons 1-2 of The Office! Much better!

I love a floppy book. The pages stay where they are, no spines get cracked and it sits comfortably in your hand. There, that’s my great insight shared for this week. As you were.

The best part is that this includes one of my most overused words, “just.” 🙃

#TimeTravelAuthors day 15 Elie Rutherford isn't up against a hard deadline to go back home to 1906, but she certainly doesn't want to delay it. However, the more time she spends in 2006, the more she's seeing the opportunities (and people) she won't have back home... #timetravel #amwriting

I'm so thankful to all the readers of SCATTERED who have left beautiful reviews, like this one. Thank you! Montreal, physics (Ernest Rutherford!), time travel, an out-of-time Victorian girl, a friendship-turned-maybe-more ... what more could you want from a #scifi book?! #TimeTravelAuthors
