Today marks the 1 yr anniversary since my first novel was published! Sales have been modest and I thank everyone who took a chance on it! Bonus update: Working on Book 2! I am about a 1/4 of the way into it. I just need a time button where I can pause the world and focus on it! 💙📚 #Booksky

Been a hot minute since I did a post. I've been super busy with our other endeavor. We got the chance to preview a new pinball machine before it hits distributors. Check it out! youtu.be/6AHhxSCAYXk

Hey all you new followers! A little introduction to myself. I am an engineer for my main career, but I also love pinball, cars & have dabbled in practical effects/cosplay. I just published my first novel, which I wrote as an original theme for a custom pinball machine that me & a buddy are making.

Cool list of creatives

Let’s focus on the literary end of the current state of affairs. I have been thinking about the increasing censorship & the breakdown of liberties in this country. Book bans are a real thing and are only going to accelerate. It doesn’t matter what your favorite genre is, romance, science fiction,

So, I am kinda picky when it comes to Mexican food. Here in the Midwest it's so common to not even have a basic hot sauce available. I will judge them so hard at the get-go if they don't have these at a bare minimum: hotsauce

Why did I write this book? I kept getting asked that so I put my thoughts into this video! youtu.be/-8sazCOXpkE 💙📚 BookSky #booksky #indieauthor #writer #sciencefiction #novel #author #selfpublishing

We went out to the Detroit autorama today to see the show. This Mercury was probably my favorite for the paint work alone. The subtle details were phenomenal! #classiccars #hotrod #customcars #autorama

One confirmed ebook preorder! Wish I could see reports from D2D and IS. I know I have orders, but I can't see them. The anticipation is killing me! 💙📚 #BookSky #indieauthor #selfpublishing

Hey everyone that's following me. I just want to offer my heartfelt thanks that you chose to follow me along this journey. When I started writing some short stories 1.5 years ago, I never imagined that I would be here: almost ready to be officially published. It really means a lot to me! 💙📚

Here's the official cover release for my upcoming book, Anthropia Origins: Of Wolf and Men #booksky 💙📚 #BookSky #IndieAuthor #novel #Science-Fiction #Sci-Fi

Feeds here on Bluesky confuse me sometimes. They have search 'terms' that feed posts into them with those terms, BUT I see a ton of posts in them that have nothing to do with the search terms. Thoughts? #feeds

The other week, I sent a technical paper that I found related to a design discussion to a coworker. Jokingly (maybe) he asked for an AI summary. So I made up my own AI response: The influence of planet position was postulated in 1889 by world renowned astrologist Fenris Heisner Von Pilsner. In his

Just approved the Ingramspark digital proof and ordered a physical proof! Getting closer! #indieauthor #BookSky #Sci-fi #sciencefiction #writing

Okay, edits made and finally fought through the Ingramspark upload. New KDP PROOF ordered and awaiting digital proof so I can order the IS physical proof. Getting closer! 💙📚 #BookSky, #indieauthor, #Sci-Fi, #Selfpublishing,

Received the proof two days ago! There are a few art related things to adjust, but I should have it updated this weekend. Hopefully, I can get the preorder up by the end of next week. On-Sale date is March 20th, 2025! #booksky #indieauthor #sciencefiction #Sci-fi #blueskybooks

Hey everyone, here's the first teaser for my new book: Anthropia Origins: Of Wolf and Men 📚BookSky #indieauthor #sciencefiction #Sci-Fi #author #booksky #books

Tonight, I will be opening the proof of the book sometime on our pinball stream! We start at 8:30 pm ET, but will probably open it around 9:30 pm ET. Join us if you can!

KDP PROOF has landed!!! 📚 #booksky #indieauthors #newbook #sciencefiction #blueskybooks

I am pretty convinced I have chosen the wrong moment in modern history to release my book. With the whole s&!t show going out there, my release will probably just get lost in all the noise. It's not going to stop me though!

The fortune cookie is wise

Join me here tonight for the first book teaser!

#booksky people, Gloss or Matte covers? #indieauthor

Hey all, quick update. The book is complete! I have it all formatted and just filled out the ISBN numbers. Next step is to get accounts set up on Ingramspark, KDP, B&N, etc so I can get the Ebook and Print editions up for sale!

Editor is done with the book! Now, for the arduous task of learning atticus and formatting for ebook and print-on-demand. #indie #BookSky #ScienceFiction

So, #BookSky I have a question. I have been making small illustrations for each chapter. Do you prefer the art at the beginning, end or not at all in the chapter? Inquiring author wants to hear your thoughts.

I have been a lifelong fan of Science Fiction, but I do have a bit of a soft spot for werewolf literature. One of the books that I have hung onto is 'The Howling' by Gary Brandner. I also loved the non Wolfman style of the werewolves in the film too. ❤️📚 #BookSky #books #indieauthor

I woke up this morning with an idea for improving my cover art. I had hit a wall and just wasn't happy with it. My new idea worked! Reworking my art took it to the next level! Can't wait to finally reveal it to everyone! My editor really liked the improvements. #BookSky #IndieAuthors #BookArt

One of the hard science fiction novel that has always stuck in my brain: Robert Forward's Rocheworld. I always loved the optimistic view of the future and I really enjoyed his exploration of radically different (1/2) #BookSky #HardSciFi

So, with all the new people over here in bsky, I'll reintroduce myself. I am working on a speculative science fiction novel. My editor is working through the final edits and hope to get it on sale at the beginning of the year! I personally love science fiction, action films, big into animated...

Question for #BookSky people: When you run across a post from an #indieauthor promoting their new book, do you prefer a) text thread, b) text thread w/ images, or c) teaser videos? Curious to know your thoughts.

Hey #booksky people, I am ready to format my novel for epub and print-on-demand. What windows based program do you use and why? I keep reading reviews and every program gets mixed reviews. It's really confusing. #BookSky ##bookskyauthor

Here’s a little introduction: I read a lot of Sci-Fi and fantasy over the years. A lot of the books I read I no longer have, but I donated a lot of them to my local library each time I moved. #booksky #bookskynewbie #sciencefiction #scifi #alternateearth #author #newauthor #novel

Hey everyone, putting a small update out there. I am a bit delayed due to a small vacation and a Covid infection. I am working on updating the book per my Editor’s redlines. I am hoping to get them completed in the next week or two, then it’s formatting, ISBNs, etc.

Hi Everyone! Let’s start off with an introduction. I am G.A.Pinkley, engineer by day and novelist by night. I am working on my first novel and its in the hands of my beta readers as I type! I am targeting to self publish it mid-November so keep an eye out here for teasers about the book. #author
