I've completed the Alpha manuscript of my 8th novel (and 2nd Martel novel) The Nightmonger Murders. Now, I start proofreading and editing the Beta before giving it to my Beta readers. Here's the cover. #scifinoir #detectivefiction #booksky

Although I haven't started writing the book yet, I've gone thru several iterations of its cover. This is the most recent one and the one I like the best (so far). #scifwestern #booksky

Fresh #tattoo, 16th for me and the first not on my arms (this one's on my chest, pervs). This Oni has many layers of positive meaning for me. Done in 2 sessions, last month and yesterday. Approx 4" tall. Gratitude to the passion and skill of Deon Lucero Jr at Get Inked in Monte Vista, CO.

Today I started writing the last chapter of my current novel, The Nightmonger Murders. #amwriting #booksky

Thank you, Jon! links and tags? @authorwhmitchell.bsky.social @mleewrites.bsky.social My most recent release is a free novelette that introduces my hardboiled series MURDER ON THE STARSHIP AUSTRALIS. It's available on most major platforms.

I've made big progress writing Ch 18 of The Nightmonger Murders. Two more chapters to go before I'm finished with the main writing. Here's a bit from Ch 14. Nothing good ever happens after midnight.... #amwritingscifi #scifinoir #booksky

It's been 9 days since I got a sale or a page read. I don't expect to make money but when nobody is even reading my work, it makes me sad. #writinglife #booksky

I just finished Ilium by Dan Simmons, one of my favorite authors. It's 700+ pages! The sequel Olympos is 800 pages! My god, man. I'm only human! #dansimmons

I stupidly miscounted my chapter so it's about 400 words short of my usual goal of 2500 words. It's an action chapter so maybe it's okay to be shorter, but it still pisses me off. #scifidetective #amwritingfiction #booksky

I've completed writing Ch 16 of the Nightmonger Murders and mapped out the final 4 chapters of the novel, so I'm in a good position to finish my book (eventually). Martel wasn't doing as well in Ch 13... #scifidetective #scifinoir #booksky

Today's a great day to support some creators. Writers and artists and creatives of all sorts: reply with a link to one of your works, if you'd like. And feel free to tell us about it. Everyone: let's check through the replies and buy some creations and support some human beings.

The 10 CENT UNIVERSE is modern sci-fi mashed with classic pulp genres. The hardboiled MURDER ON THE STARSHIP AUSTRALIS series follows a disgraced detective on a generation ship. GUNSLINGERS OF GAEA explores settling the frontier of a new planet. More series/books on the way! 10centuniverse.com

This is good stuff, folks. Non-compensated endorsement from a satisfied reader who gleefully binged them all and will jump on more when it becomes available.

Martel gets grief from everyone, including butlerbots. This is from The Nightmonger Murders, sequel to my Martel PI novel The Ronin of Vine Street. #scifinoir #scifidetective #booksky

Reynolds talks about HALCYON YEARS, its inception and inspirations. Still haven't gotten to it myself, but it's in the queue!

Hi Folks, new video! I chat to Alastair Reynolds, author of Revelation Space and most recently Halcyon Years. Check it out 👀! 📚🪐🩵#scifibooks #sciencefiction #spaceopera #booktube #interview youtu.be/OJ7h-myqqLU

This is a great series. I have all of them!

From my upcoming scifi noir novel, The Nightmonger Murders featuring Martel P.I. #scifinoir #detectivefiction #booksky

I haven't posted many quotes lately so here's one from Ch 13 of The Nightmonger Murders. There's a lot of spoilers in that chapter, but this one is not. It's also kinda cheeky... #scifinoir #booksky

I've been procrastinating about adding A+ Content (as Amazon calls it) to my book pages. Today, I finally put up something for my Martel PI books. It visible on the book pages under "From the Publisher":

It can be hard to keep your spirits up as a #indie #writer. So often it feels you're just screaming into the void. Then, every once in awhile, you see something like this and it makes it all worth it.⚡️📚💙 🪐📚 🚀 #amwriting #writingcommunity #authorcommunity #bookcommunity #authorsky #indiewriter

Scott Tate@typhonicbeast.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Just wanting to put it out there that all the novels comprising the #10CentUniverse by @authoredrobins.bsky.social are worthwhile. Hardboiled noir on a generational ark? Yes. Something to help scratch that lingering #Firefly itch? Yes. Great worldbuilding that's not cumbersome? Yes.

This is the LAST day to get Ronin of Vine Street for FREE on Amazon. If you like scifi and noir detective stories, read my latest novel set in the same universe as the Imperium Chronicles series! mybook.to/RoninofVineS... #scifibooks #scifinoir

After several tries, I have come up with this as a potential cover for my future scifi western. What are your thoughts on this? #scifiwestern #booksky

As is often the case, I like to play around with covers long before I finish a book, or even start one. Here is what I did this week for the novel I only just mentioned, just to give an idea of the title etc.

I've been thinking about my next book after the current one & I've settled on an idea from 4 years ago (see post attachement). On top of the original notes, I've added a bunch more. I'm calling it The Hellfellows of Floodwood #scifiwestern #booksky

Check out my review of Ed Robins' new novel Easy as it Gets, out now on Amazon! www.amazon.com/Easy-Gets-Mu... #booksky

Here are my Goodreads results for 2025 #GoodreadsYearinBooks

Amazon is no longer matching the free price of Ashetown Blues. It's reg price is only .99 cents but that's still enough to drop my sales and even page reads to zero for the last week. 😞

Martel doesn't get any respect, even from robots. #noirdetective #scifinoir #booksky
