It's been a long journey, but thanks to @jberlyne.bsky.social @awfulagent.bsky.social @tonimargarita.bsky.social & Shannon Donnelly and all at @diversionbooks.bsky.social (not to mention @bookforward.bsky.social & @michelvrana.com ) for bringing Exo out into the world in style.
Happy Publication day, Exo. May you find the readers you deserve. Plus packshots of the novel Exo and as it appears on an e-reader and a phone.

Thanks to @writersdigest.bsky.social for letting me explore the differences between my publishing copywriter day job & writing my first novel, #Exo. Spoiler: it's not just word count.

Shout out to my publisher @diversionbooks.bsky.social. This isn't quite product placement in AppleTV+'s #Foundation, but getting the title of my SF murder mystery novel written in blood on screen in a premium SF show a year before it was even acquired, shows marvellous prescience & pre-order nous.

Part memoir, part scientific thriller, this is a must-read for anyone who loves fearless women in STEM, climate science, and the courage it takes to document it all.

I've been inflicting advertising on authors to tell their books' stories for 25 years, so it is with very mixed feelings I share @diversionbooks.bsky.social Publishers Weekly ad featuring Exo. I MUCH prefer telling stories than being a story. Anyway, congrats to my fellow authors, & thanks, Shannon.
