Interstellar Megachef, by @lavanya.bsky.social which is both a delightful story about a cooking show in an interstellar civilization and a thoughtful tale about immigration and social class. Absolutely a perfect summer read. Plus the sequel just came out!

Thank you for your super kind words @jamreads.com ! 💜 I’m really glad you enjoyed the read ☺️

New review - Intergalactic Feast, by @lavanya.bsky.social (pub by @solarisbooks.bsky.social) is a worthy sequel to Megachef, rounding up a duology perfect for sci-fi fans with a foodie heart. More thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/inte... 💙📚

Tonight's episode is full of tasty delights as I explore culinary #scifi with @lavanya.bsky.social youtu.be/mpG3gASuv9c

Field notes: Training for a high-altitude hike, so I’ve been walking long distances in some ridiculous heat (timing is everything 😅) And then, coming home and building the piano repertoire, adding new pieces a few bars at a time. Both practices flow into the writing.

Among the worst applications of AI yet in a sea of garbage that’s competing to downgrade everyday life: AI customer support If your goal is to make customers feel trapped, unheard, and quietly furious in a maze of non-answers… congratulations, it’s working. 🤬

It's the 2026 giant World SF bundle! 15 books for $30! With @tadethompson.bsky.social, @aliettedebodard.com, @lavanya.bsky.social @theodoragoss.bsky.social @genni.bsky.social and many more! Plus supporting @locusmag.bsky.social! Reposts hugely appreciated! storybundle.com/scifi

For as long as we’ve been human, we’ve looked up at the moon and wondered who we might become if we could reach it. We keep going back—crewed missions, new landings, quieter milestones (including Chandrayaan 3 reaching the lunar South Pole). If you’re keen on the stories we tell about space… 🧵

As the world has come over all SciFi with the #ArtemisII mission, we thought you might be interested in a selection of Solaris SF Books to read on the way to the moon! From Adrian Tchaikovsky 's TERRIBLE WORLDS novellas, to Mary Robinette Kowal 's LADY ASTRONAUT novels & more! 👇 1/7

A Bank Holiday weekend is the perfect time to devour a full series, so here are some Solaris suggestions! @derekkunsken.bsky.social @karinlow.bsky.social @natania.bsky.social @lavanya.bsky.social @premeemohamed.com @koldholdt.bsky.social @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social @pennyvixen.bsky.social

#Booksky I've started so many books, I'm not longer sure which one is my current read.🤔 Probably Stars and Bones by @garethlpowell.bsky.social or The 10 Percent Thief by @lavanya.bsky.social

I’ve spent 15 years writing novels, short fiction, and games without AI. “All authors use AI” isn’t a fact. It’s a convenient narrative.

Laura Keating@lorekeating.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."
