Every now and then there is a massive dopamine hit:

Book review Mastodon Post reads: “I just wrapped Neon Citadel by Greg Leunig; the third in his cyberpunk meets magic trilogy and I absolutely loved it! It’s oozing with cyberpunk landscape and themes, twists in some heavy hitting magic and mythical creatures and follows a path setup by his other two novels to bring the arc to a clean conclusion. It’s his best writing thus far, gripping in a way you don’t want to put it down and absolutely nails that cyberpunk note while being unique in the genre. I enjoyed his other work and loved this one! Five stars.”

24. Neon Citadel by Greg Leunig Cyberpunk noir is updated with non-stop action and fresh settings beyond neon cities, melding familiar tropes with fantasy elements and new visions of the future. An excellent addition to @books-that-go-boom.bsky.social's fantastic body of science-fantasy work. 💙📚

finally finished the last book in @alexwhite.bsky.social's Salvagers trilogy, and it is with a doubt my new favorite sci-fi series. absolutely loved it and will miss those characters deeply (until I read it again). my only critique is that the characters should curse -- just say "shit," Boots!

Hey Bluesky, do you enjoy reading about -dilapidated amusement parks? -bizarre animatronics? -psychedelic dark rides? -cults? -friendship and sisterhood? If so, you might enjoy my book The Merry Dredgers. If you'd like to learn more, here's a review by Gabino Iglesias: locusmag.com/2023/06/gabi...

Here's a lovely image of the cover of my book The Merry Dredgers, which shows a falling princess in a pink silhouette. There's a black and white carnival tent in the background. Also, behind the cover is an image of the merry-go-round in the book, featuring winged rabbits. On the merry-go-round is the word Goblintropolis.

It's been 4 weeks since I posted Chapter 3 of my new werewolf project, and Chapter 4 is still kicking my ass. I know what's wrong with it, but fixing it is another problem altogether. Definitely off my "one chapter a week" goal.

#WritingCommunity Who out there has written a sequel to one of their own stories? So far, I'm feeling pretty comfortable with plotting and character, but capturing the voice of the earlier book is challenging as hell.

5 Books to Read If You Liked Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before: 1. Men & Cartoons by Jonathan Lethem This collection of weird stories is from way back in 2004 and probably had almost as much influence on young writerly me as Saunders' Pastoralia. "Access Fantasy" feels particularly relevant.

It’s cover reveal day! I think judging a book by its cover is perfectly okay with this one! A Study in Black Brew is a diverse science fiction Sherlock Holmes retelling published by Spaceboy Books. Its release date is May 22nd 2025!

Book cover in blue and purple tones. It has a futuristic gun, finger ring, cup and tablets arranged around the title A Study In Black Brew in a holographic font with old-fashioned vibes.

Back cover description:

“They say life is a string of chances held together with grit and guided by passion, and who am I to disagree?”

Kellieth ReinAraneinth was headed for a career as a field chemist on a newly settled planet when their dreams and ambitions were crushed by coincidences and chronic illness.

They return broke to the wendek homeworld, Ganmak, where everyone’s basic needs are covered, but import luxuries like Kellieth’s favorite human-made beverage, black brew, is costly.

While piecing together a new life and recovering from their ordeals, Kellieth ends up sharing lodgings with the attractive, enigmatic, and infuriating Raithan WeinZalneinth.

When a human is found dead next to an alarming message on the wall in an empty house, Kellieth gets caught up in a gruesome mystery involving Raithan and the local peace corps.

Who is the human? How did he die? What is Raithan hiding? And when will Kellieth have the time to catch their breath?

The cover again with the release date, May 22nd 2025. Underneath the text, “A diverse sci-fi Sherlock Holmes retelling.”
