I read HEATED RIVALRY overall, despite wanting a bit more of this or that throughout the book. Then THE LONG GAME, a direct follow-up on the Shane/Ilya relationship. Y'all. I don't remember the last time a romance novel made me cry (fear not, there is a HFN!). And now I need Gamer Changers #7 😭

Today (July 7) is publication day for my new book. I’m incredibly proud of This Machine Kills Billionaires. Available now in all formats, I can’t wait for you to read it. If you’re after dark, thoughtful, propulsive, but above all: deeply human science fiction, look no further.

Author holding copy of This Machine Kills Billionaires. I'm holding a piece of paper that says 'publication day' because I'd inevitably fuck up graphics if I tried to overlay them on the picture. Box full of copies of This Machine Kills Billionaires. The cover has a giant purple face, with a small silhouette of a woman in the foreground. The art bangs. Book opened up to start of novella (centrepiece of collection) called The Hidden God. The bloke who did the internals (Adrian M Gibson) did an amazing job.

This Machine Kills Billionaires has an audiobook - and it's brilliant. Voiced by the talented Luke Arnold, I couldn't be happier with the final result. Link in the next tweet for all the places you can get your copy.

ICYMI!!! Reading for the Hugo Awards? Try the finalist for Best Short Story "10 Visions of the Future; or, Self-Care for the End of Days" by Samantha Mills! @samtasticbooks.com It also placed 2nd in the Uncanny Poll! You can read it here or in the Hugo packet! buff.ly/qNsQnPj

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 63, “Blessed Universe" by Galen Dara: An ethereal figure stands front and center of the frame, behind here there is a shower of stars on a violet space-landscape. She is dressed in robes that blend into her, and she holds her palms open. On each hand and the center of her chest there are three sources of light, as if she has the moon for a heart, and stars on the palm of her hands, a mist rises from her open palms. The quote reads: "There is a future in which a hellgate opens off the coast of California. It happens at midnight on the first day of the new year, which is sooner than anyone expected. The waters rise and we are forced to abandon our home, but one of the neighbors has a spare raft we can borrow until the rescue boats arrive, so there’s that."

This has been such a fantastic project (and given me a ton of books to read that I'd missed initially). Lovely write up for RELICS OF RUIN included. ❤️

And here we are at the end of the exercise. The Queersar Not An Award for excellence in queer SFF and SFF with queers 2024! It's been fun, & I hope you find something new that's slipped between the cracks. The book I spotlight in this list is the most shamefully under-read of the whole exercise.

I've a surprise new release coming out, and I'm not mucking around: you can pre-order now, and own it in a couple of weeks (July 7) This Machine Kills Billionaires features the thrilling, multi-award-winning novella, 'The Hidden God', a triptych of bonus short stories, & more.

Cover of book and it looks fucking sick. Huge purple head (someone sort of cybergod), looming in the background over the silhouette of a woman. Also notes that the release date is July 7. This Machine Kills Billionaires being unboxed. Interior of book. The internals are excellent. Here is the opening page for The Hidden God, which has a quote from Camus: "For anyone who is alone, without god and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful. Hence one must choose a master, god being out of style." Back cover with blurb: Billionaires start dying in bizarre accidents, sending shockwaves through the markets and the media. But for philosopher Izanami (Izzy) Jones, it's just a vaguely amusing, if disturbing, item in the news. Izzy is the reluctant employee of a Silicon Valley tsar. She’s been tasked by him to give moral instruction to the world's first Artificial General Intelligence, Huldo. Izzy knows it is merely a box-ticking exercise, required by government regulation before her boss is granted full control over the AGI. But when Huldo reveals itself to be far more, and far less, than it appears, suddenly the abstractions of her work become very real. What moral constraints on a god? What righteous damnation for man? Izzy must make the impossible choice, before it is too late.
