Just got my first email angry that the ship in BEASTS OF THE WILD BLACK is called the Thunberg. They're going to be really cross when they get to the concept of "petrozoic ecocide."

The Song of the Vampire is out now. You should all go buy it so I can keep writing books about a Scottish vampire and his dog. Thanks.

This is a brilliant novel - as is its sequel, Founding Flames. Dystopian fantasy at its most original and so beautifully told.

I haven't given City of Onyx enough love lately. So correcting the issue now. A lot of fun to write and described as "bonkers" by one reader - very accurate! linktr.ee/phil_parker #noirfantasy #dystopianfantasy #booktok #booksky #speclist #fantasyfiction

Celebrating another milestone! It's been the most amazing journey so far with the most incredible creative people. And we're still just getting started! #writingcommunity #indieauthors #indiebooks #writinglife

As it’s a Friday had the urge to put out a flatlay because why not? All 8 of my Weapons of Choice #scifibooks look pretty good together, as do The Wrecking Squad #scifiseries. Can’t decide which are my favourite covers - anyone got a preference? #booksky

A very productive writing weekend, adding over 5,000 words to my new gaslamp fantasy novel The Silent Division. This takes me to within half a chapter of finishing the whole manuscript. I ran out of gas by the end of today, but finishing this week is a definite possibility! 🙂

108k words, 1050 line edits, and Guardian’s Gate is off to the beta readers. I need to step away from it now and plan Bk3, Saviour’s Gate, and then have a day or two away from the writing. Feeling Good! #scifibooks #sciencefiction #amwriting

Impressed only scratches the surface. I loved my time with this one. A finger-to-the-trigger action story, if you will. Perfect for fans of sci-fi, aliens, military thrillers, and wickedly paced stories @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social #scifi fanfiaddict.com/review-hosti...
