I hate when podcasters chit chat for the first 10 minutes of every episode. I am not here to know anything about your lives, I wanna hear about the subject of the episode! Let's get to the point!

None of the Jurassic Park sequels have brought back Mr DNA in any capacity afaik and I think that’s the real problem.

Book 3 is off with the copy editor, and I've already heard from one early reader that they loved it. Keep an eye on your inboxes next week for the newsletter that will announce more details!

Finished the first round of revisions on a new queer space horror book and got it to be a respectable 92K. Looking forward to unleashing yet another crew of space disaster gays on my 5 unsuspecting readers.

Experimenting with making landscape posts in Canva, so....check out my books! They're queer scifi that feature older characters and evil billionaires: books2read.com/ap/8vErkE/Al.... #booksky #WritingCommunity

Book covers for THE CHAMOS PROJECT and THE LAST INFINITY on a starry background. The gold text at the bottom reads "science fiction featuring older queer characters, evil billionaires, robots, and more!" The white text around THE CHAMOS PROJECT reads age gap, tragic romance, diabled MC, enemies to lovers, and stranded spaceship. The white text around THE LAST INFINITY reads disabled MC, mlm and wlw relationships, father-daughter bonding, time travel, and set on Mars.

The reason I can never leave Twitter is that a post here that gets 18 notes will get 3K over there and drive the most traffic to my website to check out my books 😔

The problem with writing characters who are scientists and engineers is that I keep putting them in situations that *they* would be smart enough to figure out how to get out of, but I am not smart enough to get them out of it myself 😔

As I'm gearing up to announce my 3rd book in the next week or so, I can't forget about my previous children! Here's the father-daughter duo from THE LAST INFINITY, which features time travelers on Mars trying to save both the past and the future. Art credit @alstonnovak.bsky.social :) #booksky

Artwork from THE LAST INFINITY featuring Cal, a white man with blond hair and a scruffy beard, and Renata, a young girl with dark brown hair wearing a purple sweater. The tropes around Cal read amnesiac time traveler, uses a cane, and reluctant dad. The tropes around Renata read baby lesbian, chronically ill, and reluctantly saves humanity.

We always talk about enemies-to-lovers but what about enemies AND lovers??

Alexis Ames @alexisames.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Okay, so either talking about my queer scifi books actually works, or a bunch of orders were being held back by the system for some reason and only appeared today 😂 Either way, I'll take it!

Going through alpha reader comments on a book and it's fascinating to see everyone unexpectedly fall in love with the same side character and be willing to die for them😂

If I start writing in one tense but find myself automatically writing in another and constantly having to go back and fix things... then that's my sign I should go with the tense my brain is defaulting to 😂

Applying for jobs while submitting short stories to magazines at the same time is not for the faint of heart. Because you definitely will wake up to 10 rejections at once and just have to go on with your day 😂
