hey author friends of #booksky Do we have anything for author swaps or mailing list swaps for up and coming releases? I have been looking at some other resources around the web, but with my second book coming out I am trying to be a bit more on the pre-release push this time around
I need to start doing that whole advertising of Book 2, but uh...I think it is nap time. I got or rather, I am getting hit with some sort of throat infection and it is winning.
Watched the Odyssey tonight and it inspied me to do a bit of writing after getting home. Honestly a wonderful movie for so many reasons, and if you have not had the chance to go see it, please do while it is in theaters.
I suppose I should follow up and give a date. August 30th, 2026 Book 2 - "Recursion" comes out. Publishing is still jsut a wacky thing to me, but thankful to the community that has been helping me and all the readers and editors.
been quiet this week with no short story as I have been working on getting Book 2 all wrapped up and in the places it needs to be so it can go live soon! Thank you for the continued support and patience.

Got the book cover for book 2 back from the artist and it looks so good y’all. Omgggggg Looking like it will be showed off in my weekly newsletter!
Another week another short story (while waiting on my cover for book 2) nomadic-pixel.beehiiv.com/p/counting-t... This one is a bit more on the feels side of things, had a dream, and kinda just sorta wrote it after. After reading let me know how you count the gap from the crack of thunder!
Little later than I would have hoped but I got the next story set to go out tomorrow morning and getting it scheduled on my website right now as well. If you want to read last weeks; nomadic-pixel.com/stories/breach
Wanting to take same and thank you to all the readers out there. Going to be going live with my new website here shortly that will have last weeks short story “BREACH” and tomorrow morning another will be going out to those in the mailing list. Eternally thankful that you enjoy my work.
Middle of a workout and having an idea is great. Struggling to jot said idea down into a notes app mid workout, not great.
flirting with a melancholy idea for the next short story for next week. Has some decent bones I think for it, and also trying to not do like 8k words lol
Look, I know that me asking about illustrators was going to bring the bots out and AI. But if you are gonna go that extra step to email me, at least put your best foot forward with a portfolio link somewhere. (and not ai generated text for the body, holy shit)
any illustrators or concept artists looking to do some fun fast quick work? Looking to get some thumbnails/cover art for some short stories. I have reached out to a few artist friends already but wanted to put this out into the void as well. sci-fi/fiction/ and romance are the plethora of genres
Alright, so I am trying to write some short stories to keep things moving, and this is the first one "BREACH". nomadic-pixel.beehiiv.com/p/breach Take a read and after you finish comment here, or send me a message on what choice you may have made at the end.

Alright calling it here, I just did the final pass for a short story. Gonna blast it out in the morning after I sleep, but my current goal is to try and get some sort of short story out every week while I am not working on a proper book. Want to keep the creative juices flowing.
Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.
Currently editing a short story. It will go out to those on my mailing list first and then in a few days I’ll have it up on a new and hopefully improved website. Gonna try to get stories out weekly. Let’s me explore some concepts I have been jotting down.
currently revamping my website right now so that I can start taking some of these short stories that I have been writing and put them somewhere that is not just in my drafts...
So something I am looking to do, is spruce my personal website up. One, to share some short stories, since people seem to like my writing. Two, forces me to figure out how to get around to doing a mailing list and start to promote my books in a better way. Specially with book 2 coming soon
im still waiting on the cover for book 2 to come back, and that is cool.... but like what if I started book 3?
Taking the time to once again thank all my readers out there. Book 2 is currently getting its cover all done up and it’s currently in its alpha reading stages. Hope to get it in front of y’all soon!
Take me back to the good days of tumblr
witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing
using this to say that Vita and PSP was probably some of the coolest things in the handheld sphere. I wish that sony would have stuck with it. I do miss my Vita though. I should look into snagging another one and PSP and make a shadow box out of it in honor of some of the stuff I worked on.
