Hi, new folks! I mainly write SF originals and tie-ins. Latests are: Shores of a New Horizon (a Terraforming Mars novel) and Hamlet, Prince of Robots (exactly what it sounds like).
I'm also a fifth of @darklylem.com, whose multiversal political thriller, Transmentation | Transience, is out now!

Today I get to unveil the UK cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!
The art is by the legendary Stephen Player, who has done art for Barker and Pratchett. I adore how he shows off the different personalities of Garrodigh's heads!
It comes out in the UK from @arcadiabooks.bsky.social this July!

If this sounds like your thing, jump on it! I loved this book.
A reminder that I have a few US and UK codes for the audio version of Disgraced Return of the Kap's Needle! If you are reading for the awards and want to listen to a dark space opera novella with horror feels, feel free to let me know! 💀

This is not a dunk, hence the lack of a quote, but I just saw someone say they nearly DNF'd a book on the first word, and now I want to find the word in order to start my next book with it.

Having some thoughts about the nature of my fears as a Canadian that I want to try to express in deep solidarity with everyone in Minnesota and elsewhere fighting our common enemy. This thread will not be in the "Canadian asshole" genre. (The opposite, I hope). Still, mute if you want.

This, and: if you choose to keep reading a book you hate, that's your prerogative, but the author didn't do that to you. The author would probably tell you to put it down too.
It's actually okay to put a book down and not finish it if you aren't enjoying it and you aren't required to read it for an assignment or something.

Look, I’m hosting the Hugos in LA next year, but we will film that shit. NOBODY should risk themselves. Our country is acting despicably in every regard.
The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics.
