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.

From 'Expendable' clones to snarky AI's, giant space snails to intergalactic negotiations, no one does darkly comic shenanigans quite like Sci-Fi sensation @edashtonwriting.bsky.social! Meet MICKEY 7, ANTIMATTER BLUES, MAL GOES TO WAR and THE FOURTH CONSORT: All available in UK paperback now!

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

This was a really fun chat, covering everything from the dark forest hypothesis to the cultural preferences of sentient wax rings. Give it a listen if you have a minute: open.spotify.com/episode/788w...

The best part about starting a new book when you've just finished editing your last one is comparing your current first draft to your recent 500th draft and wondering if you've completely forgotten how to write.

I was just compelled to watch the last 40 minutes of "Hunting Wives." Pretty sure I am now measurably dumber than I was an hour ago.

Note to self: Not everyone lives in the same time zone as you do. 😒

New author achievement unlocked: Just saw an ad for a book with the tagline "Perfect for fans of Edward Ashton." So, yeah, I guess Tabones and Maggie the Cat should probably grab themselves copies of that one. 😇

Made a new friend tonight.

Hey, Mickey! So, already read it twice, cuz just had to dip back in after the Mickey17 came out in theatres. Buuuut, what a solid excuse to read it again… 😉 Maybe I’ll read it 7 times just for the poetry ;) #Mickey7 #Rereads @edashtonwriting.bsky.social @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social #BookSky

And just finished @edashtonwriting.bsky.social The Fourth Consort. What a ride. Language, tradition, culture, self, what a journey. Definitely worth reading (and buying from your local independent bookshop). This gets David McDavidFaces' three thumbs up award.

This week's episode of @escapepodcast is a good one. Between questions about identity and morality and an intense father-daughter relationship it pretty much hits all of my sweet spots. Give it a listen if you have a chance. escapepod.org

it is THE LAST DAY of Disability Pride Month, and so, i am screaming in semi-rare personal promotion! she is full of disability rep and a lot of rage. she also won a Nebula. she is also published by a small press.

So next up on #bookbeach #booksky is @edashtonwriting.bsky.social's The Fourth Consort. Ploughing through this on the beach and holiday apartment. Two thumbs up so far.

Time for #FridayFun! As it's #WorldFriendshipDay next week, here's a selection of Solaris books with No/Low Romance Inc books by @pennyvixen.bsky.social @roannelau.bsky.social @premeemohamed.com @alexgrecian.bsky.social @samkhorton.bsky.social @edashtonwriting.bsky.social @shoutoutmapes.bsky.social

I don't wish to alarm you, but I have just (finally!) been given the green light for the third book in the MICKEY7 series. 😇

Huh. "Compared favorably to Steinbeck" was not on my bingo card for this year. 😇

I have met a moose.

Just signed a pile of books at The Tattered Cover in Union Station, Denver :-)

Hey there, friends. Just a reminder that I'll be chatting with Auston Habershaw, author of the recently released IF WISHES WERE RETAIL, at Buffalo's Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center On Saturday at 7:30. It should be a fun discussion, so please stop by if you're in the area. 😇

If you've been thinking that you'd love to have a copy of my new book, but you've only got 75% of the necessary funds, B&N has you covered for the next four days. Give it a look:

Just finished @edashtonwriting.bsky.social "The Fourth Consort" and it was the most delightfully Farscape-esque work I've come across in years. A complete joy start to finish with wonderful characters, alien customs, and wit and heart in equal measure.

Russell Letson reviews of THE FOURTH CONSORT by @edashtonwriting (@edashtonwriting.bsky.social): “Intrigue plotting aside, the novel is most strongly driven by those conversations and interactions among the three species...” locusmag.com/2025/07...
