We are all guilty. We all built this.

I'm here, as you see. And I've curated my own subscriptions, like this one, that tell me what makes me feel vindicated. I'm guilty too.

If you read THE INHERITORS and thought it was too grim, this sort of realization is where I was coming from when I wrote it.

Hey, meteorology Bluesky: For the past day and a half, many of you've called for BLOCKS of liberal accounts for "spreading misinformation." Insisted that the cuts made no difference.

I.e., THAT THE NWS DIDN'T NEED THOSE VACANCIES FILLED.

That is how I SAID it would be taken, and I was right.

Today would be an excellent day to grab a copy of my book.

Why, because it's 50% off for the Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale, Prime Week, and Kobo, of course! What did you THINK I meant? 😈 Just thought some discounted satire might hit the spot.

GR: 5⭐ / Amazon: 4.5⭐

And not to toot my own horn, but I called all of this months ago in my novel. There's a scene in Chapter 5 where a character reflects on what is, to her, history. (My novel is set in 2051.)

I just hoped it would remain fictional.

The climb continues, now for the paperback too! I was frustrated the first month, but it's catching on now that I'm buying ads so it gets seen. And it seems that April and May were rough all around for indie books. June has definitely been a bonanza for me, though. ☺️

Thank you everyone! Y'all are awesome! This may not look like much, but that is a big category for books. Made my Friday night!

#ShowYourStripes

Yes, I'm an atmospheric scientist on the Gulf Coast. 1.2 miles from the beach, in fact. 😎🏖️🌀

I also wrote a novel, a political #satire and #clifi. It's on sale for the remainder of June. $0.99 DRM-free ebook/$15.99 paperback. No AI used!

The Summer/Winter Solstice is also #ShowYourStripes day. It's grim business even in New Orleans. And we know what warming means for Gulf Coast cities. 🌀

At the moment, US atmospheric scientists face the threat of rampant job loss and the dismantling of our work by #Project2025. We need advocates.

THE INHERITORS is on sale! $0.99 ebook at all ebook retailers. $15.99 paperback at Amazon.

A darkly comedic #clifi social satire by an atmospheric scientist. A Hurricane Hunter pilot, Florida People, and a monster storm. 🖋️📚🪐

Why "hypersale"? IYKYK. Or find out. 🌀

For #HurricaneSeason, the paperback of THE INHERITORS is $15 on Amazon during June. 🌀 This is $3 USD in savings over the regular paperback price.

I'm donating ≥10% of my royalties to @csldf.org to support climate scientists against the Trump admin. ⚡📚🖋️📚💙

#Hurricaneseason is coming soon. 🌀 I'm profoundly irritated about the deliberate damage to @nws.noaa.gov, so I wrote a political #satire #clifi novel about anti-science and anti-intellectualism. "Don't Look Up" with a monster storm. A #beachread. Give it a try! ⚡📚🖋️📚💙

It's been a while, because I have been settling in after my move (to hurricane country! 🌀😁), but here's a summer read! My debut novel, THE INHERITORS.

A timely #clifi political #satire by an angry US atmospheric scientist. Also a story about family trauma. 🪐📚💙⚡📚🖋️

But traveling down this particular rabbit hole at 2 A.M. was a bad idea for another reason. I've marked up these graphs with real measurements from 2021 and the conditions I wrote.

We are utterly, royally screwed.

Gah. Momentary panic when I saw what I thought was a major factual error in my paperback.

It's the text "a borderline hypercane could form with merely 35°C water and -70° upper atmosphere temperature."

That's true. I panicked and thought it wasn't because of this. Refs Emanuel et al. 1988 vs 1995.

Are you eagerly awaiting Carl Hiaasen's novel next Tues? Me too. May I suggest that you pass the time with THE INHERITORS? It's also a biting #satire set in #Florida. But it's #clifi and features a hypercane. 🖋️📚⚡📚💙

One of the two big themes of THE INHERITORS is "We reap what we sow."

Oh dear.

But the other is "There's always hope." #clifi🪐📚

Free on Kobo Plus and $0.99 through May 11 (for #HurricanePrep Week 🌀) on Smashwords with the coupon P9CQK.

In a 2051 with runaway #climatechange and a society rather like "Don't Look Up" x "Idiocracy," scientists still try to carry the torch of knowledge. #clifi

The Hurricane Hunters 🌀✈️ are among them. Then the storm of the... century? millennium? geological epoch? forms. books2read.com/thorne-inher...

I'm really kicking myself for not researching this until now.

Draft2Digital should put in boldface text "Kobo Plus does NOT give Kobo a monopoly. It is NOT EXCLUSIVE. Go wide!" This ⬇️ is all that's on their ebook publisher list. The Learn More link has the details, but this is kind of a big one.
May 5, 2025 at 9:36 PM
Curious about my #clifi "The Inheritors" but want to try it first? It's on Kobo Plus. Subscribers read for FREE.

And/or through May 11, in honor of #HurricanePrep Week, get it at Smashwords for $0.99 USD with the coupon P9CQK.🪐📚💙🌍

Or it's probably at your fav store: books2read.com/thorne-inher...
