Writing hazy cosmic jive until I really make the grade ✴︎ Yeah, I mean SciFi, but with more fiction than actual science ✴︎ Some laughs, lots of heart https://linktr.ee/rexburke
I'm so close to reaching 100!! Only 27 away!! If you like epic fantasy novellas, maybe check it out! 💞 [ #booksky ]

So this was me yesterday at a book event just before a guy walked straight up to the stall and bought all 7 of my books. He is my new hero and I beseech all you book buyers to BE MORE 7-BOOK GUY!
I'll be at the Royal Pump Rooms in Leamington Spa tomorrow at the fabulous @bookextravaganza Book Extravaganza - come say hello to some wonderful indie authors and buy a book or three! #SciFi #indieauthor #BookSky
Mercy’s Gate has reached 43 preorders. Thank you so much. This survival scifi with a psychological thriller twist releases on 11th Aug, alongside the paperback. With a cover this good, a hardback has to be done even if it’s just for my shelf! Think Battle Royale meets Annihilation #scifibooks #scifi
Editor’s note (by me) to author (me). Saying a character ‘has an interview with someone in the can’ doesn’t necessarily mean what you think it does
I have defied time and ignored birthdays, and then today it turns out it is graduation day for my eldest son and that’s just mad

Top writer’s tip. When you finish a book, don’t only have rosé wine in the house. Rosé wine is not a triumphant’ fuck you book’ drink
And that's a wrap - Wild Skies (Star Runners, book 3) is done! Having written it sober, I shall now be editing it drunk, which I believe is the best and most up-to-date writing advice available #SciFi #indieauthor #BookSky #amwriting
Rex is very kind. ❤️
Rex Burke is SciFiRex@rexburke.bsky.social · 2w agoI read anything by @davedobson.bsky.social - the man does shopping lists, I'm in. 'Best' is a campus rom-com, a world away from his usual thrillers, SciFi or fantasy books, but the plotting as always is tight, the dialogue spot on, and the story and quirky characters engaging. Another great read.

#5amwritersclub and I'm on one of my favourite things to do. Scouring indie publisher catalogues, because this is where the strange, fresh blood, unhinged take, bitterly delicious, cackling alive stuff lives. #amwriting #authorsky #smallpress #indieauthor #writingcommunity #writesky #booklovers
A review and exclusive extract of my upcoming novella Preaching to the Choir.
Ginger Nuts of Horror@gnofhorror.com · 2w agoAdrian Tchaikovsky won the Clarke Award for a book about spiders. He has also been writing cosmic and folk horror for years while the genre crowd looked away. His gothic novella Preaching to the Choir lands 11 Aug. Here's why horror readers should stop skipping him.
Nick requires 4 more of you in the immediate term to do the right thing - come on people, it’s a killer planet sci-fi thriller!

The show is very good and very well produced. Should it be the half time of the world cup final? Don’t be ridiculous

You want to get in on this. Nick gives good SciFi merc thriller

Spent today going through both my beta readers’ notes today. Great feedback to work on, and helping to shape the story from the readers’ view. This book is looking good (well, a scifi psychological thriller with an eco-horror twist). Got your copy preordered yet?
