New #BookReview! On the blog today I have the Booker Prize winning Orbital by Samantha Harvey. Sadly, though I liked it better than Time War, I did not get on very well with this space based literary fiction novella due to its repetitiveness. www.alankdell.co.uk/...#BookReview!💙📚🪐

I can't believe how accurate this diagram is!

If you use AI, you’re not a writer. You’re a hack and a thief and you give zero fucks about the planet and your art form. Hope that helps. Useless, loser behaviour.

And that's today's book fair. Came away with 7 sales, which is not bad at all. In fact, a much better result than when I do general craft fairs. It feels a bit redundant to say I made the cost of the table back, because it was free 😂 Ideal circumstances! 10/10 will exhibit again.

Give Alan's books a go. You won't regret it!

Today is a lovely day to chill out with a good book. And, if you weren't sure which book to read, why not check out this one? You can get it on KU, as an ebook, in print, or an #Audible #Audiobook #BookSky ❤️📚 #scifi #lgbtbooks

👨‍🏫 Folks need skills to offer groups. I’m clearly the 👨‍🌾 type (if you’ve seen many of my 🌱 toots!) and at one point an archer comes to the fore 🏹 so I know what @alankdell.bsky.social might offer in a post-apoc world 😜 What’s your own apocalypse skill? 📚⚔️ #FantasyBooks 🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋

Today seems to be going well. I've sold 5 books and a merch pack so far, with two hours to go. This feels like a great time to remind you that they are all available from my direct store for UK readers. Including the special offer on the old Re-Emergence cover! www.alankdell.co.uk/store 💙📚🪐

Wow, Dr Becky taking a sponsorship from Anthropic/Claude was not a move I saw coming and is massively disappointing to see.

Fancy a short story or two? The Secret Agent: In a post-apocolyptic future, a young spy is sent on his first mission: Recruit a girl who, like him, has magical powers. The Hacker: When a programmer finds an illegal AI, just how far will he go to get his revenge? www.linktr.ee/bryerson #BookSky

🥺😭💖 I've sold two books this month!!! Best data since April. 💖💖💖 Thanks so much for supporting an indie author!! <3 <3 💙📚

Today's episode of 'JC got bored!', featuring my latest models, in varying stages of completeness and detailing:

Looking forward to the OOT Remake, of course... sometime this year, and I'm happy we're getting a new Xenoblade... sometime next year But oh boy the rest of that Direct was dreadful. Considering we haven't had a proper Direct in 9 months, AND when put right next to the Sony & Xbox shows. Yeesh.

Phew! Just this morning I finished the final challenge level on Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. What a fantastic game. They left all the platforming to the post-post-game and made it really hard—especially that last level. Nintendo took a risk with this game and it absolutely paid off. 1/2

All set up and ready for the Windsor league match against Chelmsford this morning 🎯 🏹

So some of these chapter 12 challenge levels on Yoshi and the Mysterious Book are proper bastard hard, jfc 😂😂😂

Legit feeling like I've forgotten how to post to social media atm. I went away on holiday recently, and treated myself to a new 100mm macro lens. Took lots of photos. Cannot for the life of me figure out how best to share them. All at once; one at a time; in one thread; spread over time... Lmao.

Last call on this bundle! Just 20 hours left to get all these amazing books (and mine) for only a tenner. That's like a gazillion percent off, maybe—I'm not very good at maths.
