I'm extending my promise to donate all my book royalties and adding a charity (the Salt Cure Fund). I'm overestimating my 2025 royalties to be $75. I do not have the spare cycles to figure out the accounting for physical book sales. Ebook royalties came out to 56.75.

"There is love in me the likes of which you've never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape. If I am not satisfied in the one, I shall indulge the other..."

Happy birthday to Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, born 30th August, 1797. Portrait by Richard Rothwell, 1840.

Oh, gosh. I totally forgot that today is Moon Landing Day (July 20, 1969). The #SROP "Embargoed Earth" series has a story that includes something strange on that date. Just sayin'. Hit up the rodent for #free #ebooks in that, or other series.

Serendipity strikes again... This afternoon a package appeared on my porch containing a paperback copy of "A Novel Arrangement" by Arden Powell. Not an author I had heard of. No return address on the package. No clue who might have sent it. Seems like it'll be an interesting literary journey! Top of my TBR, I guess. And thanks! (That's one way to win my heart: randomly send interesting books.) #books #bookdstodon #ebook #lgbt

Hallo, shop! I'm reading 'How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse', by K. Eason, and really, really enjoying it. Sort of Science fantasy--space stations and planetary colonies, but also magic and spells and fairy gifts at christenings. Terrific interplanetary court politics, very good character works.

Penguin/Random House finally got around to sending me the author's copies. In snappy Ukrainian-flag colors.

Spoiler--it's about how we kick the Russians' asses but IN SPACE, okay? I should have dedicated it to Ukraine. Out in bookstores and booksites now.

Near-future technothriller.

I link to bookshop.org as the alternative to Amazon (though it's there too) because bookshop.org supports indie brick and mortar bookstores.
