This week, I read MAGIC FEARED AND FURIOUS by Chantel Burnham.
I loved this story! I haven’t read much folklore fantasy, but I was immediately drawn into this immersive Scottish world of myths and fables and fears. 1/2

This week, I read CELADON by Katie Silverwings (@katiesilverwings)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! As someone who loves space novels that dive deep into culture and world-building, this story nails it. I could easily picture myself living in this fascinating alien world…

I just read a post from a social media expert whose advice was to write posts using ChatGPT (AI) so that it’s properly written for the Algorithm (AI) and reaches more of your target community (which, they estimate 20-40% of social media accounts are bots or AI).

A close friend helped me sketch out some cover designs for my debut MURDER INFERNO (imagine Knives Out meets Ready Player One).
Anyway, even though this is super rough, I’m already enamored
That is all. Proceed with your day :)

I need help qualifying the genre of my book.
It’s sci-fi (dystopian); cli-fi; lit. fic. (exploration of what it means to be human); romance; environmental; and theological.
The comp. titles would be like Fahrenheit 451 meets the Martian Chronicles.
Any suggestions?

Finished a manuscript I love and it’s finally polished and professionally edited. I thought the pitch was strong enough to land an agent, but after quite a bit of querying I don’t know if that’s going to happen.

I started off the year with IGNITE EARTH RED GIANT by Wanda Vargas.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I thought both the story and setting were wildly creative, and I loved reading this apocalyptic scenario we’ve all heard about… 1/2

Hello, Bluesky community! New writer of sci-fi, fantasy, and mystery.
I love writing stories that are layered narratives that draw upon real life, even when set in fantastical worlds or genres. I’d love to connect with fellow authors and support each other’s creative journeys. #Booksy #Author

to write
is to set something
out into the world
that never could
have existed
but for
you.
that,
by itself,
is extraordinary.

I’d be really interested to see the reach BlueSky allows for new accounts. If you happen to see this post, could you just send a quick heart? I’d love to get an idea of how many people actually see these things.

I wish we talked more about the leap from millionaires to billionaires.
On paper, it feels natural: one letter.
In reality, the difference is astronomical, taking 11 days to count a million, but 32 years to a billion.
I just don’t think it was as natural a leap as we were led to believe.
