If you are a #sci-fi nerd who appreciates punchy prose, interesting (and likable) characters, and well integrated science-based world building, Orbiting Fortunes by @almacdonald.ca is for you.
I highly recommend checking it out.

@canconsffh.bsky.social is coming up soon, 17-19 October in Kanata, Ontario.
I'll be there, selling and signing my #grimdark #fantasy 📚, and sitting on a panel called "Poor coping skills in SFFH".
Hope to see you there!

Anyone else playing #Expedition33?
I've been really enjoying the narrative so far, particularly the little nods.
This made me actually laugh out loud.

Masterful fantasy - for all true fantasy fans!
The Book of Astea duology by Zammar Ahmer, Riven Earth and Sundered Moon, were SO satisfying to read. They evoke that feeling when you start a new book, series, or game, and everything fades... and then you are disappointed when it's done so soon.

Just finished Nigh by @mariebilodeau.bsky.social
If you like faeries, horror, and/or dystopian fiction, this is the 📖 for you.
It's beautifully written, with lots of twists and turns.
I particularly loved the allegory of cultural evolution woven into the story... It's such a great read!

The book is a triumph, and it left me with only one problem... now I HAVE to finish the rest of the series. 💙📚😁
