It was windy. I voted! As per normal, the voting machines had a hard time registering that I touched the screen. Frustrating, but no real issues for me! But… Always double check your ballot! #authorlife #vote #democracy #bluedot #idaho

Happy book birthday, @magicrobotcarnival.com!

The Heresy of Thieves is out in the world TODAY! Why not treat yourself to a new fall fantasy featuring: 🌈 LGBTQ+ characters/world ⚔️ Battles, sword fights, skirmishes 🍺 Questionable choices 🫂 Found family 🧚 Mythical creatures 🏰 Political intrigues 🕸️ Giant snuggly spooders books2read.com/u/mVdK7J

A political coup that haunts An assassin who wants out. A mentor holding hostage A lost childhood. A final job to kill An evil villain key to A family secret. A supportive found family, A dystopian adventure, A commentary on current events. And a bad guy who dies in the end. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

LAST CONTRACT OF ISAKO x KILLSWITCH PROTOCOL. Arun wants out. No more assassinations. But the key to remembering her lost childhood is with the man who trained her. To get her memories back, the price is to kill a king, but that may also cost her family or her life. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

LAST CONTRACT OF ISAKO x KILLSWITCH PROTOCOL Assassin Starling has no memories, and to get them back, she has one last job. Kill the king. If she doesn’t, she’ll lose her forgotten childhood, her family, and her life. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

Arun "Starling" Tige wants out. No more assassinations. But the key to remembering her lost childhood is with the man who trained her. To get her memories back, the price is killing a king. And it will cost her more than her past. She may lose her family or her life. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

LAST CONTRACT OF ISAKO x KILLSWITCH PROTOCOL Arun “Starling” Tige doesn’t want to be an assassin anymore. Only problem is, the man who trained her can give her the childhood memories she lost in a coup twenty years ago, but to get them back he wants her to kill a king. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

Assassin Starling lives in a world of blood with a forgotten past. Now she wants a little cargo ship outside of Alliance space. When the man who trained her offers her childhood memories and a way out if she kills a king, she can’t say no. Or she’ll lose her family and her life. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT

Last day of #DVParty! I'm so excited for everyone! The (very) few projects I've seen (because time) are wonderful! The people, even more so! Wishing everyone luck tomorrow!!! And a huge thanks to all the #DVPit mods, runners, founders, and all the people for putting this together for so many years!

Hyping my next project: I'm thinking about doing a Brutalist vibe dystopian thing next about a woman who hides a garden in a city where plants are forbidden. But it's just a wisp of an idea at the moment. If not a sequel for the book coming out in 2027. We'll see. We'll see... #DVParty #A #SF

A cargo ship on the Rim doing jobs that don’t involve knives would be nice. But to get her memory back, Starling must do one last assassination for a resistance she didn’t know she was a part of. And if it doesn’t succeed, it means the end of her dreams. Or her life. #DVParty #A #SF #LGBT Dystopian

#DVParty Day 3... My first line for the dystopian cyberpunk piece I'm sending out into the world! #DIS #LGBT #ND #A #SF

I figure I'll continue to join in on the #DVParty fun this week. It's been a while since I've done these and meeting people is fun! Also, looking at a bunch of the main characters of all y'all's stories is super cool! Wishing everyone luck!!!!

Arun "Starling" Tige (32) is an assassin. 20yrs ago someone enacted a coup. A bombing resulted in a brain injury that was healed with stolen tech which suppresses her memory. Now, she wants out and has a small cargo ship waiting. But her mentor will return her childhood for a last job. #DVParty

I’m going to be pitching an #A cyberpunk dystopian #SF MS about an amnesiac assassin whose mentor manipulates her into a last job in a few days, so I thought I’d throw up a moodboard for #DVParty today! #DIS #LGBT #ND

Diversion and Histria authors who are part of Anthropic settlement, this is from an email today from Jean V. Naggar Literary Agency: "For Diversion and Untreed Reads/Histria, their contracts do not specify a publisher share of any copyright claim, so authors may also claim 100% of the settlement."

It’s time for her annual checkup. She’s healthy now, but used to get urinary crystals and bladder stones. She’s on a special diet that requires a prescription yearly. So here we are. Unceremoniously dumped into her carrier and dragged to the vet. She hates me. LOL! Here’s to semi-spicy kitties!

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

I should mention that this is more of a cover reveal thingy than a "buy me now" thingy at the moment! LOL!

I wanna know the answer to this soooo bad, but anyone who might know (like NASA) doesn't have an official Bluesky account to tag! Aaaaarg! Will I forever be left in the dark?

Dear friendos, Mystery solved! My mom sent it and forgot to tell me. Thanks da mama! (Still not drinking from it!) 🤣🤣🤣

AJ Super@ajsuper.com

Can anyone tell me what this is? (I feel like I should do that wrong answers only meme thing, but I’m not even sure what a right answer would look like!) I received it in the mail yesterday, and it had no card, no sender, nothing to identify who it’s from. Um… I feel like I’m getting punked somehow.

I’ve always wanted to create a large scale microplastic recycling initiative that focused on cleaning up oceans and ocean-bound trash. I think I’d totally build something in several of the ocean garbage patches to do that. Creating sustainable jobs and saving the planet, FTW!

Such fake news! How much you wanna bet these “leaders” are either all white or not even “leaders”? (Paranoia hat on says that these “leaders” are people associated with the store, not actual boycotters.) Even if they reinstate their DEI initiatives, the damage is done. Never shopping there again!

Axios@axios.com

Leaders of a high-profile boycott against Target announced today they are ending their yearlong campaign sparked by the retailer's decision to scale back some DEI efforts.

Ugh. A minor win, but they’re just gonna find a new way to use the AI feature. So, the lesson here is to just fucking learn the language you are supposed to be an expert using. Stop using crutches like this.

So much this!

Erik Hane@erikhane.bsky.social

all this talk of AI editing, new features on Grammerly, etc etc. How about just develop a working understanding of the language you are claiming to be a professional in, stop using crutch tools, and thus be able to ignore every stupid new "feature" like that

It’s my birthday! I’m so happy to be celebrating with you all! Your friendships have strengthened and sustained me, and I can’t wait to see what the next year brings for all of us!!! If you want to do something for me today, please drop a rating or review on Amazon, Goodreads, and/or Storygraph!

SFWA has just let members know that they’re lower than usual on Nebula nominations this year, with just days left to nominate. If you’re still looking for short stories, may I humbly suggest you read this one. If you like it, I’d be honored to receive your nomination.
