Hey all you new followers! A little introduction to myself. I am an engineer for my main career, but I also love pinball, cars & have dabbled in practical effects/cosplay. I just published my first novel, which I wrote as an original theme for a custom pinball machine that me & a buddy are making.

Let’s focus on the literary end of the current state of affairs. I have been thinking about the increasing censorship & the breakdown of liberties in this country. Book bans are a real thing and are only going to accelerate. It doesn’t matter what your favorite genre is, romance, science fiction,

So, I am kinda picky when it comes to Mexican food. Here in the Midwest it's so common to not even have a basic hot sauce available. I will judge them so hard at the get-go if they don't have these at a bare minimum: hotsauce

We went out to the Detroit autorama today to see the show. This Mercury was probably my favorite for the paint work alone. The subtle details were phenomenal! #classiccars #hotrod #customcars #autorama

Hey everyone that's following me. I just want to offer my heartfelt thanks that you chose to follow me along this journey. When I started writing some short stories 1.5 years ago, I never imagined that I would be here: almost ready to be officially published. It really means a lot to me! 💙📚

Feeds here on Bluesky confuse me sometimes. They have search 'terms' that feed posts into them with those terms, BUT I see a ton of posts in them that have nothing to do with the search terms. Thoughts? #feeds

The other week, I sent a technical paper that I found related to a design discussion to a coworker. Jokingly (maybe) he asked for an AI summary. So I made up my own AI response: The influence of planet position was postulated in 1889 by world renowned astrologist Fenris Heisner Von Pilsner. In his

I am pretty convinced I have chosen the wrong moment in modern history to release my book. With the whole s&!t show going out there, my release will probably just get lost in all the noise. It's not going to stop me though!

So, #BookSky I have a question. I have been making small illustrations for each chapter. Do you prefer the art at the beginning, end or not at all in the chapter? Inquiring author wants to hear your thoughts.

I have been a lifelong fan of Science Fiction, but I do have a bit of a soft spot for werewolf literature. One of the books that I have hung onto is 'The Howling' by Gary Brandner. I also loved the non Wolfman style of the werewolves in the film too. ❤️📚 #BookSky #books #indieauthor

G.A. Pinkley - Author @gapinkleyauthor.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

I woke up this morning with an idea for improving my cover art. I had hit a wall and just wasn't happy with it. My new idea worked! Reworking my art took it to the next level! Can't wait to finally reveal it to everyone! My editor really liked the improvements. #BookSky #IndieAuthors #BookArt

Question for #BookSky people: When you run across a post from an #indieauthor promoting their new book, do you prefer a) text thread, b) text thread w/ images, or c) teaser videos? Curious to know your thoughts.

Hey #booksky people, I am ready to format my novel for epub and print-on-demand. What windows based program do you use and why? I keep reading reviews and every program gets mixed reviews. It's really confusing. #BookSky ##bookskyauthor

Here’s a little introduction: I read a lot of Sci-Fi and fantasy over the years. A lot of the books I read I no longer have, but I donated a lot of them to my local library each time I moved. #booksky #bookskynewbie #sciencefiction #scifi #alternateearth #author #newauthor #novel
