The Fourth Consort by @edashtonwriting.bsky.social The climax of this book had me punching the air in delight. I love stories about humans and aliens and their many cultural differences (and the miscommunication it causes) If you like Farscape you'll love this book guaranteed.

Neat!

Finally at that point in the first draft where the rest of the book is clear in my head, and all I need to do is get it all written down. Thanks, brain. I knew you wouldn't let me down. :-)

Hey y'all - just a reminder that I'll be speaking and signing books at the Atlanta Central Library tomorrow (12/13) from 5pm - 6pm. Please stop by to say hello if you happen to be in the area. 😇

Hmmm... Looks like the eBook edition of ANTIMATTER BLUES is on sale today, so if you're wondering what ever became of Mickey and Nasha, now is your chance to find out without breaking the budget. :-)

We're delighted to see @edashtonwriting.bsky.social 's THE FOURTH CONSORT on Kobo's list of the Best SciFi eBooks in 2025! Part first contact story & part dark comedy, it asks an important question: how far would you go to survive? And more importantly, how many drinks would you need to go there?

Did Futurama just do a parody of my book???

My youngest son was just named to Audible's top ten list for F&SF 2025 :-) This is a super fun book, and Barrie Kreinik did an incredible job with the narration. If you haven't yet, you really ought to give it a listen.

Just watched the first episode of Pluribus on Apple TV. So this is CHILDHOOD'S END, right?

Great to see that MICKEY17, Bong Joon-Ho's adaptation of @edashtonwriting.bsky.social 's novel MICKEY7, has made @theguardian.com 's list of the 7 best films to watch on TV this week! Learn more: https://bit.ly/4hRWsMU Buy the book: https://geni.us/Mickey7

ICYMI: I wrote a review for Mickey7 by @edashtonwriting.bsky.social. With a fast-moving story and socially conscious themes, it's a fun, meaningful book, and it's easy to see why Bong Joon-Ho chose to adapt it. 📚💙 medium.com/@lawardornd/...

If you happen to be at the Lake Placid Film Festival right now, be sure to stop by my session on Adaptation at noon. It's gonna be a hoot. 😇

Just watched "The Long Walk." They stuck to the book pretty closely for the first 90% and then changed up the ending, which is probably the optimal approach for most Stephen King books IMO. Highly recommended.

Review: The Fourth Consort by Edward Ashton The Fourth Consort has got to be one of the most bizarre novels I have ever read, and I went into this book expecting some quirky twists. A lot is happening in this singular book, starting with interspecies politics and ending with the strangest love…

For the first time ever, I'm trying to work on two different books at the same time. Not sure how this is gonna work out, but I will say that it's interesting to have two different sets of characters chasing each other around in my head.

Hey everyone, can I ask a quick favor? Some bureaucrats want me to make a "business plan" with plausible "evidence" that I have fans who may someday actually buy one of my "books". Can you help me prove I have an audience by subscribing (for free!) to this nonsense? www.patreon.com/cw/RobynBennis

If you happen to be in Perry next Sunday, please stop by and say hello :-)

Left my hotel in Bucharest 17 hours ago. Got another four at least before I see home. This part of travel, I do not love.

@edashtonwriting.bsky.social's 2026 /After the fall/ gave me another @netgalley.bsky.social bingo. what a fun read!

Just finished my last panel at #NOD2025 in Brasov, Romania. If any of my author friends out there have an opportunity to attend this meeting next year, you really ought to jump at it. This is a beautiful country and a well-run meeting, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to participate.

Dying of the Light is one of my all-time favorite reads.

Hey there friends. If you're planning to be in Romania next week (and honestly, who isn't?) please be sure to stop by the NOD festival in Brasov to say howdy. Vampires aside, it should be a good time.

A few familiar names on the shelf of Kinokuniya Books in Sapporo, Japan. The SFF English section is very small, so it was cool to see a range!

Due to a warehouse problem around launch time, the Immeasurable Heaven won’t be stocked in any Waterstones for the foreseeable future. I’ve compiled a headache-inducing pile of nice blurbs and would be so grateful if anyone who enjoyed my weird non-human book could reshare. Thank you!

There are noises coming from my woods right now which are alarmingly similar to those of King Arthur and his men constructing their wooden rabbit outside the French castle in Holy Grail. I may need to fetch the cow.

From Edward's journey seeing his novel turned into Bong Joon Ho's "Mickey17" to Spencer's experience as the first filmmaker to officially adapt Stephen King's "The Monkey", this enlightening and entertaining panel will share real-life stories about the world of book-to-film adaptations. #LPFF2025

Mal Goes to War @edashtonwriting.bsky.social Standalone SF in which a highly capable but socially maladroit AI is forced to exit cyberspace and navigate a grim US civil war as one of a mismatched group of physical participants. Cleverly written,witty and with a very human heart, this is great fun

Nice shout out for #ThePriceOfEverything from the very awesome @Fandomwire! And such great company to be in! (Especially personal faves @edashtonwriting.bsky.social & #raynaylor!) fandomwire.com/every-sci-fi... #scifi #dystopian #cyberpunk #climatefiction
