A wonderful read aloud sample of the 2nd story in the Together is a distant star anthology, the haunting Flight of the Guildmaster by @cblansdell.bsky.social Great narration as always by @tommock.bsky.social

Ok, I have a copy of the 4 spsfc semifinalists I am tasked with reading. Still reading some books I left half finished, but I will start the 4 very soon so that I have my scores up long before the deadline.

it’s my birthday buy a book!

We have chosen our #SPSFC semifinalists! #SPSFC5 💙📚 #scifi

My team Space Girls has selected both #spsfc5 semifinalists that will advance in the competition. I enjoyed all of the books mentioned in the link below and am certain the judges will enjoy them as well. www.lecari.co.uk/2026/06/spsf...

Gorgeous is still recovering. I was lucky to find the critical care cat food at the vet. Expensive stuff that hurts my wallet. 🥲 But look at her! She's so sick and still finds the way to make biscuits in gratitude. 🥹

The #SPSFC5 semifinalists have all been announced now! And yes that's my book at 3 o'clock 😁

Gorgeous is now drinking the warm food soup and purring nonstop but she is insanely underweight and I suspect anemic as well. I am going to see if they sell a special food in the village that is for critical care cats.

The kitten survived the night and the meds are starting to work. I hope she continues getting better. In the meanwhile, I wrote pending book reviews on goodreads so my reads are now up to date. I have almost reached my 900th review. 😱

I apologize for being unable to write pending reviews today as I promised. I found the kitten today very ill and after a vet visit, am busy trying to save her life. She looks a bit more perky than a few hours ago. I hope I can save the little darling. 🙏

Hey #boksky, #writesky, #artsky, #romancelandia... link tree is going to start shoving things into AI without consent. This thread has some alternatives.

It is nice to be finally home! #axolotl

I got a book haul for the end of my trip. Wanted to also get a wuxia novel that can't be bought in Mexico, but it was very heavy. I feel ashamed I am going to sample The cruel prince. I have no idea if I will tolerate it. 😅

Such a deal! 11 of my books that mix science fiction with western settings and themes, including two of the Martiniere universes, plus two novellas...one about what happens when a cowhorse meets an alien and...a neoWestern multiverse supernatural thriller! itch.io/s/185324/sci...

Talgel ends up rejecting her one and only true love's attempts to marry him and stringing him along for unclear reasons. Spaulding is a spoiler that motivates a lot of his actions in the story that readers might find frustrating on occasions.

I have surely curbed on adverbs and try reducing using the same words as much. I feel the quirks of my writing focusing on self reflection will be here to stay.

Thank you for giving Fragmented Fates a chance and I am so stoked you enjoyed the first half of the duology so much!

It's released day!! I have a story in this anthology. Go check it out!

Harlequins marry for political reasons. Forcing less trusting betrothed nobledemons to wear chastity bracelets stops adultery. Elves believe in the tenet of freedom of marriage. It is one of scant few things jot even the kingdom's ruler can enforce with an edict.

Another exciting author interview participating in the Together is a distant star anthology, AJ Calvin!

Every day before launch day, we get an exclusive interview about the upcoming Together is a distant star anthology! First one is from Delilah Waan.

It is always fun to wake up in the morning and say hello to this little ball of fluff. She is starting to learn the delicate art of purring and making air biscuits. Mom always demands scritches and lovies.

I can hear the scream for dinner in this photo.

Pre orders are now live for Together is a Distant Star! Join me on my journey as I read all 12 stories then hit that pre order button! youtu.be/zO9t_Qj4DP4?...

Hi! Thanks for the shoutout! My sf collection Echoes and Embers: Speculative Stories features Mexican/Mexican-American/Latino characters! www.starsandsabers.com/books/echoes...

I am glad Kris enjoyed my story. The entire video was entertaining as hell to watch. 😁😁😁😁

I had plenty of fun reading the book The improbable we can do today by Jon Dixon. Been a while since my last book fanart. It was to difficult not to succumb to the temptation of drawing amateur sleuth Meriva Secaret. The review will be available next week when I have free time.

It has been only 24 hours and I already wonder how the kittens are doing without me giving them love and scritches. 🥺🥺🥺

HEAR YE, HEAR YE! In less than a month this beautiful anthology goes live! A collaboration between 12 women and queer authors, the stories revolve around the theme of Belonging and span across timelines, dimensions, through dark fantasy worlds, and folklore. Still a few days to apply for an arc! 👇

I am embarrassed I ended up too sleepy to write more on my Haptics wip. I'm glad I don't have the pressure to churn writing when I am in a rut cuse the respite helped a lot. We have a new villain that may or may not start an antagonist killing spree. 👀👀👀👀

*interested eyeball noises*

Hey - it's May! And that means more new indie books! The full list of books is here: ajcalvin.net/the-indie-au... #booksky #indiebooks #scifi #fantasy #horror

Flight of the Guildmaster is my contribution to the SFF anthology, Together is a Distant Star. I also illustrated the cover. Read on to find out more about this story of transformations and hard choices. #ibelong

TITLE REVEAL:【RYSERE’S GLORY】 Epic fantasy often centers birthright & succession, with plots that turn on marriage alliances: politicking, acts of conception, celebrations of birth, montages speeding through childhood until the Chosen One is ready to come of age & save the world. But the mother?

Savior on the zenith has 2 enemies and both use items. Anduvio as the defacto villain was cursed by an immortality stone that is stuck in his mouth. Its power increases the more magic it absorbs. Gulraj is officially an antagonist but is a worse villain overall. He wields 2 harlequin swords.
