Amusement Park is one of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite games—Nier: Automata, and this version is so slick I cant even! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbHS...

Zero-Point Symphony is a cozy sci-fi story you might also enjoy—no romance but very character-focussed and engaging :)

Chris Radley @chrisradley.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

If you like Becky Chambers, I'd also urge you to try out Zero-Point Symphony. It's a cozy sci-fi adventure, set on a spaceship, and is very character-focussed :)

Is there a particular genre or search term that one could target to reach women in STEM?

Was at a hotel in Dallas this weekend and it had real backrooms vibes. Also, fun fact, Bsky needs age verification to access in TX but Twitter doesn't 🤔 #backrooms

Ava doesn't know if she's doing the right thing or just the thing that makes her feel less alone. Most days, neither do I. See you tomorrow for the launch of Echoes of Ionia!!! #cozyscifi #foundfamily #newrelease #booksky💙📚️🪐

Two days until release! Zumi has been carrying this mission on his small shoulders, believing he could find his Elder if they just kept going—and they do! I wrote Zumi to be the heart of this series. Pitch is the soul. Echoes of Ionia. June 16th. #cozyscifi #indieauthor #foundfamily #booksky💙📚️🪐

3 days. Tir quotes this to Captain Zannis in the first chapter and it became the backbone of the entire book—Zannis carries it through every decision. When I wrote this scene I knew how much Book 3 would belong to Tir, so its fun to start laying seeds. #cozyscifi #foundfamily #newrelease #booksky💙📚️🪐

Four days. Malku Baal wears an oversized coat to look bigger than he actually is, worrying about his crew's families, and commanding a fleet held together with patches. I spent a chapter inside his head and by the end I wasn't sure who I was rooting for anymore. #indieauthor #newrelease #booksky💙📚️🪐

Five days. Two brothers. One left home. One stayed. Neither expected what the other had become. When Elmas says "maybe you're being something we forgot how to be"—that's the moment the book's heart clicked into place for me. Echoes of Ionia. June 16. #cozyscifi #foundfamily #newrelease #booksky💙📚️🪐

Six days to go. Dr. Ix is an alien who communicates with complete candor among her own kind—no social softening, no wounded pride. But aboard a ship full of other species, she learned to adjust. Not because she had to. Because she cared enough to try. #cozyscifi #indieauthor #newrelease #booksky💙📚️🪐

Chris Radley @chrisradley.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

One week to go until the release of Echoes of Ionia. Ronin asks questions adults stopped asking a long time ago. Writing him reminded me of my son Jack. This book is for the kids who keep asking. #cozyscifi #foundfamily #indieauthor #booksky💙📚️🪐

Book 2 comes out in two weeks and I'm terrified and excited in equal measure. Echoes of Ionia is about a stone man who breaks centuries of tradition because his son asked why the sky can't be purple. June 16th. #cozyscifi #foundfamily #newrelease #booksky💙📚️🪐 a.co/d/0hWI4mws

Book 2 of my cozy sci-fi series drops June 16th. If you haven't met the crew of the Elpis yet, Book 1 is 99¢ right now. A captain, a sentient rock, and a crew that went rogue to do the right thing.

Chris Radley @chrisradley.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

I wrote this book because I wanted a sci-fi story where the crew actually likes each other. Where the captain doubts herself but shows up anyway. Where a small rock who can’t lie becomes the bravest person on the ship. Book 1 is 99¢ right now. Book 2 launches June 16th. #booksky💙📚🪐 #cozysff #ebook

So many authors get accused of using AI in their work, but I think we need to address the sheer number of beta readers and editors advertising themselves who just plug your stuff through Claude and expect you to pay for the privilege. #writingcommunity #authors #editors

Chris Radley @chrisradley.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

For those that have been waiting, here are release details for Echoes of Ionia, the second cozy sci-fi book in the Zero-Point Symphony series. Echoes of Ionia will be releasing on June 16th 2026. #booksky💙📚🪐 #scifi #cozyfantasy #yalit #authors #writingcommunity #scifibooks #books

Echoes of Ionia
Book 2 in the Zero-Point Symphony series
Those who return carry what was learned
Chief Engineer Horst Altos left Ion Prime six years ago with questions his people didn't want him to ask. Now, with the crew of the Elpis on the run from Atlas and hunted by the Loc'ri Merchant's Guild, the search for the Z-cell Elders brings him back to the ringworld he once called home — and to everything he left behind.
On a world forged from the ruins of the one that came before, where tradition is survival and curiosity is a liability, Altos must confront what it means to return as someone different than when he left. Meanwhile, Ava Albright faces her first away mission, a medical mystery she wasn't trained for, and the growing realization that the family she's been searching for might already be the one she's found.
With a Loc'ri fleet closing in and time running out, the crew must navigate a city built on silence, unravel a frequency that's tearing through an entire population, and find an Elder hidden among the shattered remains of a dead world — before everything they've risked falls apart.
A story of homecoming, tradition, and the courage to evolve, Echoes of Ionia is the second book in the Zero-Point Symphony series — a cozy sci-fi adventure about the places that shaped us, the people who stayed, and the choices that change everything.
