Cover reveal & crowdfunding announcement! I have written another book. Project Tasman is a sapphic dystopian book about a woman in a psychological experiment. I'm so excited to share this beautiful cover from @bmwillows.bsky.social Follow the BackerKit below, pls www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

A book cover for the book Project Tasman by S. Morgan Burbank. A woman with dark brown hair is free falling in front of a group of green, blue, and purple lights. She is wearing a blue zip-up hoodie and a black t-shirt along with blue jeans. She has black eyeglasses, as well as piercings on her right eyebrow and nose. She is watching a number of poker chips -- one each purple, red, yellow, black, and blue -- falling through the air near her. A sixth chip is resting in her right hand, this one colored white.

Jesus fucking Christ. I keep seeing authors on Threads asking readers how many sex scenes they should put in their books. “What would you prefer?” WTF? Your characters/plot should inform how much sex there is, not randos. Your book is not Burger King. Readers do not need to have it their way.

If they do leave soon, that will mean one more month of countless people sheltering at home, one more month of rent and utilities and food and medical care that needs to be raised. That's millions of dollars of emergency funds just to keep people fed and housed. Do not look away.

One huge reason I'm excited for Starfleet Academy is because it continues the 32nd century setting from the final few seasons of Star Trek: Discovery (which remains my favorite 21st century Trek, esp. seasons 3 and 4.) I love it when Star Trek keeps exploring further and further into the future.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."
