TOMORROW YOU WILL GRAB THE SUN WITH BOTH HANDS AND DEVOUR IT. FOR NOW HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH WATER TODAY?

Today Julia reviews a cosy-dark comfort with teeth. Found family, sharp banter, gentle romance & moments that remind you this world has danger. Evil queens, strong coffee, wintery magic & warmth earned, not handed out. fantasy-faction.com/2026/wooing-... 💙📚🪐 #FantasyFaction #SFFbookRecommenfation

None of my books will ever be translated for foreign language editions using AI. Full stop.

Happy #NationalScienceFictionDay everyone. Go read some science fiction #books!

I wanted to do more pics again, so for #ScienceFictionDay: This is funny, thoughtful, and quietly sharp. A robot valet without a master, a broken world full of odd AIs, and big questions about purpose, humanity, and consciousness. I will miss Uncharles and The Wink. 💙📚🪐 #SciFi
