Didn't mind this novelette at all. Scalzi takes a swing at representing an AI and makes them realistic and sympathetic. No mean feat. Interesting view of space exploration as well. Very readable. #fivestars #5starreads #scalzi #sff #sciencefiction #scifibooks #kindlereads #primereading

Some good news Denmark. 👏 In the UK there is no VAT on books. In Scotland all education, including University is free. Reading and education pave the road to free thinking. BBC News - Denmark scraps book tax to fight 'reading crisis' www.bbc.com/news/article...

Messy First Draft unlocked. Now my favorite bit: sculpting that into a coherent and cohesive 2nd draft. LET'S EDIT!!! 🤘🤘🤘

Doing a tour of my bookshelves over on Insta. Here's one. This baby's my favorite Holmes story. I've read it 3 times; hope to read it again before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Dark, innovative. ***** for sure. #sherlockholmes #shelfie #booklover #bookshelf #detectivenovel #bookreview #sff #books

Noice!!

Incredible (and wildly diverse) list of titles that launch this month. Browsing AJ's list is like browsing in a bookstore. Fun for its own sake. ajcalvin.net/the-indie-au... #booksky #tbrpile #fantasyfan #sff #newbooks #booklist #scififantasy #magick #readers #fantasyart

If I write the phrase "when the catastrophe struck" one more time, I'm going to poke myself in the brain with a pencil. #wip #amwriting #firstdrafts

Don't forget to support Bookshop.org and its network of indie bookstores. Their platform empowers independent bookstores to compete online and maintain their presence in local communities." And hey, you could buy THIS book. Help me too, lol!! bookshop.org/p/books/last... #books #tbr #bookstore #sff

With all the hubbub about the new fantasy book, it's easy for this old favorite to be forgotten. The book, not the undead woman. Rip-roaring post-apocalyptic fiction -- and the book I consider my best work. #books #tbrpile #postapocalyptic #thrillers #zombies #nextread #bookpile #sff #undead #readz

#waterstones UK and EU readers, some of my novels are now available through Waterstones. EVENTIDE, EXCLUSION ZONE & ICONIC. Kicka**e space opera shenanigans I'm very proud of (and with a plethora of 5-star reviews!) #spaceopera #actionscifi #books #booksky #newbook #UKbooks #EUbooks #tbr #tbrpile

For those of you writing with AI. I know the ads all tell you that with AI you can make lots of money easily. It is true that book markets are currently flooded with AI. Every word AI coughs up is stolen from a legit writer without compensation. Do you have ethics? #writingcommunity #booksky

Was lucky enough to get this book via the kickstarter and it is excellent. If you like fantasy fiction, I highly recommend checking this out.

Not long now. The Trell are coming. Aug 1 on Amazon. (Psst, don't tell anyone but the paperback is available as of today on B & N and Books-A-Million. You can also ask your local indie store to order it in). #newbook #fantasybook #sff #booksky #TBR #epicfantasy #magick #books #readthis #newrelease

I've backed this project. Looks polished and immersive. Cannot wait.

This looks amazing!

Pretty darn stoked to one of the Honorable Mentions for this year's NextBestRead awards! nextbestread.com/writing-cont... amazon.com/Last-Among-E... #books #tbrpile #bookaward #fantasybooks #fantasyfan #newrelease #booktwt #kindle #sff #novels #tbrlist #tbr

Wow, absolutely made my day. This is a thoughtful and articulate review. Last Among Equals is up for preorder on Amazon in ebook. (Release date for paperback is just 30 days away!) #fantasyreads #newbook #bookreview #epicfantasy #books #booktwt #sff #reads #wow #tbrpile #kindle #kindleunlimited #👍

Current reads. All of them very good. But I have serious ADHD when it comes to starting and finishing books. But. They're all VERY good. #goodreads #books #bookreview #currentreads #amreading #tbrpile #tbrshelf

SPOILER: Yet another fillum that contributes to Sean Bean's body count. 3/10. One for fans of the c-word (like, big fans), and one for those who like garbled plots and dialogue.

90% finished with Dave's Iconoclast and it's bloody good. Reminiscent in many ways of Vonnegut's finest.

Right. This one's going to be fun... #scammers #spammers #elonmusk #moron #idiot #havingfun #funwithscammers

Very bad fr my back: twisting sideways in my chair with the laptop on the armrest while Lord Doggus claims the lap that the computer is named for (and meant for). And yet, I keep enabling the lil bugger. :/ #dogs #dogslife #writerslife #idiot #workspace #sff #books

Great deals!! Also at www.amazon.com/stores/Micha... and tinyurl.com/2436xesb

Um, can we get these in Australia? Someone? Please? #straya #reading #books #australia #australiansff #indieauthors #indiebooks #newbooks #melbourne #frankston #morningtonpeninsula #ideas

G'day. Niel is a professional reviewer who's worked with indies & big houses. Fellow authors, he recently posted deep-dive, thoughtful reviews for my book + a writing buddy's. NOT one of these yammering bloody DM scammers. A good man. A good service. #authors #writing #writers #sffauthor #books #sf

Still my favourite all time response from a scammer #lolzies

That moment when you discover you've somehow deleted the entire chapter 2 of your WIP (complete with detailed battle scene)...and the moment after that where you thank God you keep backup copies of older versions. #phew

My very 1st novel (8 y.o.) now has a screenplay version; everyone I talk to who's read this and knows Gwen & Jake would luv to see 'em onscreen. Big sale across all stores on ebook and p/back to spike rankings/reviews. Help me boost attention on this book? Share? petealdin.com/library/blac...
