Seeing the digital proof for the back of our @starsandsabers.bsky.social anthology, Of Shadows, Stars, and Sabers, really strikes home how INCREDIBLE the lineup is for our 29 authors. WOW! We hit the jackpot.
I started being regularly published when I was 25. I didn't make my first dollar writing until I was 30. I didn't sell my first novel or screenplay until I was 35. Many of you hadn't even heard of anything I'd written until I was over 40. You have time. There is no expiration date on writers.

Can I have option to click a button and mass follow-back all these fine people in the writing/publishing community?
This review made me smile. Sometimes this gig really pays off. 🤩🥹🥰 Also: I’ve got 8 more books in the pipeline so far. I hope my readers love them too! There are many stories in THE SHADOW GALAXY to transport you. #collection #books #scifi #fantasy #horror #shortfiction #poetry
It’s interesting to me how iconic this pose is for science fiction (book covers particularly). An astronaut facing away from the viewer and looking at something. Nobody did it better than Moebius.

Scarlett R. Algee@scarlettralgee.bsky.social · 2y agoThis week: format two books for printing, do cover layout for one, edit another one (and see my therapist and take my mother to one of her doctors). I can get that all done by Friday, right? Right. Sleep is for the weak.
I was not wrong. She also got my medical/surgical history wrong despite it being right there on the computer. Sigh. We’ll see.

It used to be my laptop, till I discovered the Word and Excel apps for iOS. I still use my laptop for specific tasks, though.

Gabino Iglesias reviewed Scott R. Jones’ DRILL for Locus. Have you read it yet?
Word Horde@wordhorde.bsky.social · 2y ago“Self-referential, unapologetically bizarre, eloquent, and dancing to the sound of its own internal drum in terms of pacing, combining humor and darkness, and structure, Drill is a rare novel worth experiencing, and it’s definitely Jones’s best one yet.” —Locus locusmag.com/2024/11/dril...
