I have a request for publishers of short story collections, including authors who self-publish:

Please make it easy for me to find out *the list of stories in a collection*! Inlcude the Table of Contents on your book detail page!

Dearest Mastodonians, if you're reading for awards season I ask you to consider my only eligible work of 2023, my Taínofuturism novella SORDIDEZ. It's a queer science fiction about indigenous peoples working together to battle future colonialisms and involves giant 3D printed robots, genetically engineered wolves, and cyberpunk Vejigante masks that wreck things. Also, coquí frogs...lots of them 🐸🐸🐸.

Ooh boy. When I say Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky was a good book? I mean it is ALWAYS going to be at the top of my recommended books list. Amazing #scifi book that is highly recommended despite its intimidating length.

In case anyone missed it, I wrote a book. #SciFi #scifilit #Writing

Dr. Jarian Voss has been a member of the Coalition’s interplanetary empire for as long as he’s been alive. Now, everything he knows is called into question and soon he will have to make a deadly choice: stay loyal or become part of the rising rebellion.

Looking for #scifilit recommendations. I really enjoyed dune and foundation, but I'm looking for something a little less galactic empire and more mandalorian type grounded space adventure stuff.

Oh, #introduction yeah sure. Just a late-30s guy looking to explore topics of interest. Generally of the view that today is better than the past, today is not nearly as good as it ought to be, and that the future can be much better than today. Regardless of topic, trying to focus more on feel-good vibes and funk, less on nasty dunks.
