It’s after midnight on the west coast now so… happy publication day in North America! ‘Star Wars: Star Pilots’ has been officially published by @dkbooksus.bsky.social! I hope those of you who are waiting on copies really enjoy it! And I’ll hopefully see some of you this week at #NYCC!

If you’ve already received copies of ‘Star Wars: Star Pilots’ and also finished reading it, then leaving reviews on the likes of Amazon, Goodreads, Storygraph etc can be really helpful in kicking the Algorithm into action to advertise the book. Then more sales = hopefully more future books!

In honor of me making it around halfway through @chriskempshall.bsky.social’s Star Pilots (amazing so far), here’s a screenshot of where Wedge sits in my every canon Star Wars character list

God I fucking love @valheimgame.bsky.social so much. Me and three friends just finally (after multiple failed attempts) killed Yagluth and it was amazing. The new cutscene animation thing is brilliant.

Well this sounds like the sort of reception of his work that would make Beaumont Kin very happy!

Beaumont and Wedge in perfect harmony! Sort of.

Early signs are suggesting that people are getting the sort of narrative and emotional experience with ‘Star Wars: Star Pilots’ I really hoped for. And it is a tremendous relief!

Its Star Wars Reads Month! Hardly surprising that books and Star Wars are two things that bring me a lot of joy. There are so many wonderful books about Star Wars, you can find pretty much anything you or a loved one might want! www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

This is a wonderfully kind review of ‘Star Wars: Star Pilots’! There a few light ‘spoilers’ but predominantly it is hugely gratifying to see that @cadbanesbounty.bsky.social totally got the book in the way I’ve been hoping for.

The BBC asking the big questions here...

A screenshot from the BBC livetext, reading:

It's the international break, of course, but Manchester City's next Premier League game is away at Liverpool on 11 October (16:30 BST).

Then back-to-back home games against Paris St-Germain in the Champions League on 14 October (20:00 BST) followed by Ipswich Town in the Premier League three days later.

Will City fans boo the Premier League anthem against Ipswich?

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

I wonder if Man City's new owners (assuming that their current lot get turfed out) can strike a new naming deal with that theme park in France. 'Parc Astérix' seems like an entirely fitting name for what was once the Etihad.

Just a quick random series of thoughts. Coming from a background of academic writing where books are often incredibly expensive, very specialised, and not often widely read - doing things like 'Star Pilots' and 'Rise and Fall' is a really big shift. It's very strange to have people hyped for books!
