I thought at first it was more squirrel antics that had captured his attention, but no: this time, it was two bunnies #caturday #catsofbluesky

Listen if you like to me on the Writer’s Routine podcast (which is a great podcast in general for writers and readers!). It should be wherever you listen to podcasts (below is the Apple link) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

The Traveler - Joseph Eckert Un roman de SF teilhardien. @josepheckert.bsky.social www.quoideneufsurmapile.com/2026/06/the-...

An extraordinary thank-you to Joseph Eckert for a great event yesterday ⌛ And thanks to special guest speaker Olivia! Signed copies of THE TRAVELER are available while supplies last. @josepheckert.bsky.social #booksky

Need a break from the World Cup? Perhaps a place to cool down and talk about books and writing? Come hear me talk and ask me questions about The Traveler today at @brick-mortar.bsky.social in the Redmond Town Center! www.brickandmortarbooks.com/events/54124...

My friendly reminder that @alixeharrow.bsky.social’s The Everlasting is great and you should definitely read the book before there’s an adaptation!

This past weekend, one of my child’s hockey teammates was struck by a car in a hit and run in Kirkland, leaving her in serious condition at Harborview. If you have a few dollars to donate to their gofundme, her family would greatly appreciate it: www.gofundme.com/f/support-ka...

I finished Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 this weekend. Published posthumously as a single volume of five deliberately fragmentary novels, I missed it when it first released. Still mentally sitting with it. A complicated, compelling, sometimes frustrating ride through darkness. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2666

Happy Father’s Day! A reminder for anyone in the Seattle area: I’ll be talking about my novel, The Traveler (which has a strong father-son relationship at its core) at @brick-mortar.bsky.social in Redmond on Wednesday, June 24: www.brickandmortarbooks.com/events/54124...

June 10: Come see cool people talking about cool books. @josepheckert.bsky.social @isabel.kim @yumewrites.bsky.social (and me)

Lovely review for The Traveler on Science 2.0–5 out of 5 Bloggys ;) The Traveler is out in North America on Tuesday next week! Thursday in the UK! www.science20.com/content/revi...

I just finished @joeabercrombie.com’s The Devils. I loved it: genuine humor, anti-hero characters you grow to love, and a hell of a ride all around. Suicide Squad dark fantasy with a solid heart. I’m looking forward to the sequel!

In THE TRAVELER by @josepheckert.bsky.social, even as time rockets forward, the father-son dynamic pushed it over the edge, earning an early spot on my Best of 2026 list. My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-the-t... @fanfiaddict.bsky.social @torbooks.bsky.social @macmillanaudio.bsky.social

If you’re interested, next week I’ll be talking with some truly great fellow authors like James Rollins, @isabel.kim, @thomas-elrod.com, and Kim Fu—not to mention my father! If you’re in Scottsdale, Brooklyn, Madison, or Seattle, I’d love to see you us.macmillan.com/tours/joseph...

List includes: Great time travel concepts: @josepheckert.bsky.social and @jessicagolds.bsky.social Winner best title: @angelahur.bsky.social And a book that automatically goes on TBR list b/c I loved his Cabin at the End of the World: @paultremblay.bsky.social lithub.com/unicorn-dive...

I received my copies of the UK hardcover version of The Traveler (out in a week in the US! Just over a week in the UK!). The North American cover is lovely and this one rocks, too! Love the hourglass and color scheme @torbooksuk.bsky.social

Robots? Check. Revolutions? Check. Rural cults? Of course. You didn't hear it from us, but here's all the new science fiction books coming out this June! #Booksky

@josepheckert.bsky.social’s book THE TRAVELER, which I just finished, captures that vibe and expands it, telling a touching story of fatherhood in the process. A propulsive and (despite the weighty themes) quite fun read. Looking forward to my panel with Joe next week at the Center for Fiction.

Super psyched that my upcoming novel The Traveler is mentioned in this New Scientist article on the best new sci fi books coming in June alongside works by @isabel.kim, @aptshadow.bsky.social, and others! www.newscientist.com/article/2528...

He may be asleep but his tail wasn’t #caturday #catsofbluesky

As I continue to very slowly play games, I’m replaying Diablo 4s campaign to get to the latest expansion. I’m also rewatching @noahgervais.bsky.social‘s brilliant Diablo video. All his stuff is fantastic and this one is too: youtu.be/R3v-7Rndd8M?...

Fellow feline hosts: does your cat select a sleep spot, hold fast to that spot for a few days or weeks, then move on without cause to a new sleep spot? I ask after waging low level war with my furry friend over my computer chair for the last week, which he’s now abandoned… #catsofbluesky #cats

Alright got another one. I’m ten years late here. Quantum Break. Played on PC, where the 10 yr gap allowed a multitude of patches. And… I really liked it. Great time mechanics, twisty story, graphics that still hold up. Even the TV scenes were better than I’d been led to believe. Remedy did it again

Oh wow. I stumbled on 7 year old aged white cheddar by Tilamook at Costco a few days ago and just sliced it for our Memorial Day afternoon and… oh wow. I’m very sad this is a limited release because… wow

I am, as usual, late to the party because it takes a long time for me to finish games. But I recently played and beat Avowed and I really enjoyed my time with it. Maybe good thing I waited, given the many patches it’s received. But the story, characters, graphics, exploration all hit the mark for me

#monochrome #photography #japan This was quite the sight

#caturday #catsofbluesky He’s still a mighty handsome cat all these years later, but kitten Rain was *so* cute
