My name is Simon Panneton. I am a 51 year old author with a bum ticker but a fantastic imagination. I wrote a novel called The Last Flight Of The Starleap. It has gotten a handful of very encouraging reviews so far and I hope you’ll give it a shot. www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using “Juno” in an ICE arrest video: “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

Well, this is very nice… open.substack.com/pub/indieboo...

A 12-year-old orphan helps a ghost with an extraordinary past reunite with his long-lost love. Unless killer robots, mad bounty hunters or armies of space pirates have a say. Take the leap… (Free to read on KU!!!) #Books #fantasy #scifibooks #litterature #adventure www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

Whispers sing across the multitudes… A familiar starship has been spotted after too long an absence… The fabled Starleap soars once more! A new name accompanies the word of each sighting… A titan at the dawn of her making… The legendary Space Ace is here. Buckle up. www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

Read a book about a girl who isn’t doing well who makes a friend who isn’t doing well and about how she tries to help him same way he tries to help her except he is a ghost, there is a spaceship, and half the universe is trying to kill them… ❤️ www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

Wings on her back. A ghost by her side. Half the universe on their trail. www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

Buy a book ❤️

Absolutely perfectly played, sir, from start to finish…

Pao says hi on this fine morning…

Not a single one of those comparison fails to fill me with pride (I mean, one in particular but yes all of them). People who write reviews are the real heroes, but also people who buy my book (available today on Amazon!), and people who read my book, also, obviously. Lots of heroes, all in all.

“If I may be so bold, I want toast, I want eggs, I want bacon… and I want crepes.” A guy said that to his date, both of them reading the menu at a breakfast place I’m at. There was a little pause. “Do it,” his date said, only half-paying attention, mulling her options over. I crave this simplicity.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

A reader DMing me in the middle of the night because they just finished The Last Flight Of The Starleap. I’m just glad he liked it, and I’m going back to sleep… www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

The Last Flight of the Starleap has been purchased 277 times. Over 49,000 KU pages read — ~33 full journeys, with many more still underway. Not every book lover reads right away, but I’m grateful to all who’ve taken flight with Ellie, whether they've sampled, just started, or finished the adventure.

I hate that they insist on calling them “Knives Out mysteries instead of Benoit Blanc mysteries…”

Readers are loving The Last Flight Of The Starleap. If you like wild sci-fi with heart, brain-bending fantasy elements and popcorn thrills… take the leap. The universe is bigger than you think… www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

Feel free to weigh in, I’m curious if I did something wrong…

I don’t think you should have to do homework before you reply to a post… The post is the post. I don’t expect you to read my bio or anything before you reply to me. Just reply. My posts are self-contained. It’s Bluesky, not a saga with multiple must-read chronicles… Those are my two cents…

I adore the Mission Impossible film series, but they don’t have a single great poster and that’s a shame. These are adventure movies, and they should have adventure movie posters, painted, and impeccably designed. Posters that serve as a teaser, with snippets of action…

Ellie will cross the universe for you, to the heart of it & back. She’ll tear a hole through fear for you. She’ll punch bad odds in the face for you. She’ll take your dead hope & love it back to life. …Even if you’re a ghost. The Last Flight Of The Starleap is out now. www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

For what it’s worth, I really enjoyed Fantastic Four: First Steps It is visually really rich, and all four leads bring something that elevates the movie. It feels whole. It doesn’t rely on anything else to exist. You should check it out.

This is me how’s it going?

Made a cool banner to get more eyes on Sara Lee’s art for my novel, and use it (or parts of it, in some cases) on my profile pages. I thought I might show you the entire thing here. It looks gorgeous…

My novel now has a brand you cover by the incredible Sara Lee! A 12-year-old orphan meets a ghost with an extraordinary past — one that will send them racing across the deadly edges of the universe on a hair-raising adventure that will leave them forever changed. www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

Me somewhere in the Florida Keys, circa 2018…

There is something happening this Friday. Something cool. Sara Lee (@sblarts on Instagram) Simon Panneton Eight months in the making... Watch. This. Space.

Would like to let everyone know that #MarioKartWorld is a miracle of kinetic joy and my soul needed it.

I am not sure what is happening but May 2025 is The Last Flight Of The Starleap’s best day ever for pages read on Kindle Unlimited. Multiple people are reading Ellie & Zachary’s adventures at the same time. It makes me so happy! Get you copy today and join in!! www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

I found your next favourite book…

Ellie lost her parents a month ago. Zachary is a ghost with an extraordinary but tragic past. He needs Ellie’s help - whether he’ll admit it or not. Two souls, both at their lowest point, united by fate. This is the origin of Space Ace. The odds don’t stand a chance. www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

Speaking of cinematic, isn't it time you treated yourself to the greatest Scf-Fi movie never filmed? The Last Flight of the Starleap has high-speed chases, vast other-worldly worlds, killer robots, bounty hunters and a selfless hero who might be a ghost! Take the leap! www.amazon.ca/Starleaps-La...

Finally got to try out Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on the PS5 yesterday evening, and it is so gorgeous! I love that you can play the game in 70mm aspect ratio, like you're watching a movie! I can't afford a great TV but my projector is ok and it gives the game an even more cinematic feel!

Ellie has just met a ghost. His past is extraordinary. His future just got boundless... Take the leap. www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

"you're weird" - It’s weird to just come out and tell someone that they’re weird, so I guess we’re both in the same boat. tellonym.me/eli.casablan...

Seeing that someone wrote a blog post about my novel thrilled me to no end… www.sjstoneauthor.com/articles/0u4...

About to go to bed when I find Pao has decided to push the blanket of the bed across its entire surface so he’s comfy and there is none left for me. That, folks, is true love. Self-love, but still…

Not for nothing but I actually thought the oscars were great last night. Watched it with my dad and it was funny and entertaining and there weren’t too many awkward moments (Brody went on for tooooo looooong) and often the categories were stacked with talent, which is what made the event so good…

*breaths a sigh of relief* March 2025 won’t be the 1st month in which The Last Flight Of The Starleap doesn’t sell a copy. Keep encouraging indie authors, friends❤️❤️❤️ Also, if you want to read about an orphan and a ghost going on a kick ass adventure, click below… www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

My novel, The Last Flight Of The Starleap, has been out - independently - for a year and a half now, and so far I sold ten copies of it in February alone! I’m so happy that it never stopped selling since its debut in July 2023. Take the leap! www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...

NEW GARETH EVANS JOINT ON APRIL 26TH!!!!! Cannot wait... www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAQf...

Havoc trailer tomorrow!!!! (If you know you know)

It took a minute but The Last Flight Of The Starleap, released on November 28th 2023, has officially sold 200 copies. For a completely unknown, that’s a number I’m proud of…

Still swooning over the review from this morning tbh…

I swear, if given the option to jump into a time machine and skip the next four years, I would...

COMPANION raises a lot of questions about consciousness, simulation theory and god consciousness. Seriously. For subscribers only. www.patreon.com/posts/compan...

... I love this series. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSHN...

This just popped up on Goodreads, and now I'm a little misty-eyed. When I tell you I packed this book with heart, I'm not joking. I mean, it also has killer robots and undead space pirates, but lots of heart, too. Take the leap... www.amazon.com/Starleaps-La...
