Alexis Ames@alexisames.bsky.social · 2d agoI made some minor changes to THE LAST INFINITY, ran another round of proofs, and now I have 4 extra ARCs to get out of my house. Anyone in the US interested in reading and reviewing a queer time travel book? DM me if so! (And yes, those are my Earth and Mars wine glasses) #WritingCommunity

Grimoire Ink Reviews@grimoireinkreviews.bsky.social · 2d agoThe Last Infinity by @alexisames.bsky.social "a character-driven science fiction time travel adventure, with a queer norm world, found family vibes, and slight thriller elements—basically, catnip for me." Read @mayadarjani.bsky.social's review here! grimoireinkreviews.wordpress.com/2026/08/03/t...

Just did a bunch of edits on a manuscript that I've been putting off for 8 months and they took me less than an hour. I will not learn from this 😔

The Last Infinity by Alexis Ames

It's Friday night, it's cool and raining, and there's a new Pan Am 103 dramatization on Netflix. I'm living my best life.
I love writing characters who get progressively worse as the story goes on. 😈

ella t. holmes (wizard)@ellatholmes.bsky.social · 2w agoWhat could be more on-theme and #dystopian than personal loss & health woes on release day? 😅 WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD YET? is officially out now! I am so proud of it and all the contributors for what we're doing for disability representation and Disability Justice 💖 #Booksky #DisabilityPrideMonth
Hire my friend! I am absolutely in LOVE with my cover for book 3 and can't wait to reveal it to everyone.
Addison Smith (Addi)@addi.social · last wk.I’ve got four book cover design jobs wrapping up, and am looking for some authors to fill up August! DM me and I can send you some samples, even if you’re just curious. I’d love to do something more abstract, but I’m open to all sffh! (Graphic design, not illustration). Reposts repaid with hugs! 🤗

Book 2 proofreading: done. Book 2 files: uploaded. Book 2 author copies: ordered. Book 3 cover: in my inbox 👀
I'm delighted to be able to share another blurb for THE LAST INFINITY, this time from author and editor @faerywhimsy.bsky.social ! You can pre-order my book about time traveling disaster gays here: books2read.com/u/bwMZ99.
Happy book birthday to this anthology! @ellatholmes.bsky.social has done it again! Where Artifice & Access was a love letter to disabled people, Why Aren't You Dead Yet? is a hate letter to the systems that want disabled people to disappear.
Someone wrote a review that said THE CHAMOS PROJECT was "one of the best books I've read this year" and then someone else said THE LAST INFINITY was "one of the best books I've read this year" so I think you should check out my queer scifi books: www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
I *think* all of these are self-pub but my apologies if not: @alexisames.bsky.social @barrows.itch.io @juliebihn.bsky.social @anotherindiewriter.com @jebdarsh.bsky.social All authors I've read and loved recently, OR who have work coming that should be on your radar

My queer time travel book releases in less than a month, and I've written a short blog post about a concept that is central to the plot: cryonics. alexisamesbooks.com/2026/07/19/s.... #WritingCommunity
Star Trek, cryonics, and THE LAST INFINITY
Given that we’re less than a month out from the release of The Last Infinity, I wanted to talk a little bit about the concept of cryonics, which is a vital part of the plot. I’ve been f…

Living through a dystopia is so mundane. Just gonna pop on my N95 so I can walk the dog because the wildfires make it too difficult to breathe outside. No biggie.
