Not playing any new games lately as I'm busy with the ones I already found this year but I am keeping an eye on a few that I'm interested in trying once they're finished. Here's another one! #gaming store.steampowered.com/app/1757300/...

The Nod/Wells Timelines Omnibus Editions Volume 1 AVAILABLE NOW! Volume 2 in 2026. Volume 3 in 2027. eBook 50% off at Smashwords until Jan. 1: www.smashwords.com/books/view/1... More Options: books2read.com/nwt #specfic #scifi #horror #thriller #book #books #ebook #ebooks #reads #booksky 🪐📚💙🩸📚⚡️

I'm pleased to see Amazon committing to offering EPUB and PDF download options for purchased ebooks without DRM. I'm still reading the fine print and assessing the situation but my inclination is to have all my Kindle editions available when the feature goes live on Jan. 20. 🤔

Watched the first episode of "Fallout" season 2 last night and it's off to a great start IMO. Season 1 was one of the best things I watched in 2024, so my expectations were rather high. Very excited to see how the story unfolds. 👍 #Fallout www.imdb.com/title/tt1263...

The show has its issues but I'm still pretty hyped for season 3 of "MF Ghost" in January. It's that same part of my brain that gets pleasantly stimulated by playing "Gran Turismo" and watching "Fast & Furious" movies. Don't judge me! 🤣 #anime youtu.be/tf9EBdUz8JU?...

This was a great read, and one I highly reccomend. Go check it out!

An update on my experiences with @thebookradar.com: Still enjoying the site and I'm pleased to see them entering open beta as I think more active users are needed to take things to the next level. I still use and enjoy Goodreads but I like this place more. 👍 📚💙 thebookradar.com/announcements

A reminder that there's now an official account for The Nod/Wells Timelines here on Bluesky! @thenwt.bsky.social In addition to posting news and information about The Timelines, it also boosts posts from other authors of speculative fiction selected by yours truly. Give it a try, #booksky! 🪐📚💙🩸📚⚡️

Of all the things I saw for the first time at The Game Awards this year, I think "4:LOOP" is the one I'm most interested in playing. 🤔 #gaming store.steampowered.com/app/3355360

I really want to take some time and enjoy the holidays this year but it's hard to not be excited for the release of "The Nemesis Legacy" in January. I've written and published a lot of books at this point and truly, fans of any of them should be excited for this one, too. 🙂

A little reminder that "Hostile Takeover" is free via Amazon until December 17th. See @thenwt.bsky.social for details!

Lots of cool and interesting things at The Game Awards tonight. 👍 www.youtube.com/live/d-BDeU3...

The first step to making the world a better place is believing that it can be. DON'T fixate on everything that's wrong. FOCUS on things that are positive and beneficial, not just for you, but for everyone. DO things that are good, helpful, unselfish. The rest comes naturally.

Checked "Mickey 17" out last night and it was enjoyable. I didn't love everything about it but there were several good and noteworthy elements, and it definitely made me want to read "Mickey 7" at some point. That's always my hope with films inspired by books, so 🙂👍. www.imdb.com/title/tt1229...

Pleased to report my participation in this year's Self-Published Science Fiction Competition (SPSFC5) with my standalone novel "The Nemesis Effect" from The Nod/Wells Timelines. Be sure to check out all the great submissions, including those that (like mine) are available to read via KU! 🚀🙂👍 🪐📚💙

There are many charitable/nonprofit organizations worth making donations to if one is able. Wikipedia is a good choice in my opinion as it serves an increasingly-vital role in a world being polluted with "AI," bias, and outright lies. Imperfect but important. donate.wikimedia.org

My latest read: "The Small Bronze Carriage on the Mantelpiece" by M.G. Mason. Fancy a quick and clever tale of spirits set in England's past? This one's worth a look!

Pleased to see "The Nod/Wells Timelines - Volume 1" tearing up the charts on the zon, despite being available in several other places. This release was all about providing options and making the book as widely and easily available as possible but success there is still important.
