BRUTALLY HONEST REMINDER:

While I enjoy social media, I'm really here to sell stuff to you.

What kind of stuff? Books.

How often? More than once a year, less than once a month.

The rest of the time I'm just chatting or babbling, but don't be fooled: this is a marketing account.

If you want me to sell something to my audience for you, and it's anything other than SF/F books, I cordially invite you to fuck off into the sun. I'm not that kind of influencer.

@cstross Thank you for Singularity Sky, which I read in 2024. Looking forward to reading A Conventional Boy soon.

@HollieK72 You're welcome! I began writing SS in ... 1996? Or was it 1997? It's flawed but if it's still entertaining people I guess I did something right.

@cstross I think my husband mentioned The Atrocity Archives at some point in the past, and I went on to read the whole series, the New Management, the Merchant Princes, and quite a few other books. Apparently it works for me!
