My fave episode yet! What are stories about if not characters. Includes exercises authors can do at home. (Find out who I based one of my villains on). Audio only this ep as we nail down some tech issues. #writers #writing #amwriting #writelife #authors #books #mc #characters #sffbooks #litfic

We talked about #introverts and the world of people, about not rushing into things, about needing #humans in an A.I.-influenced world. And, as always, about #writing. #betaread #amwriting #amawriter #authors #booksky #drafts

I read this book this month and I cannot recommend it highly enough! A superb blend of cyberpunk and hardboiled detective (with a glimpse into our future that is both reassuring and, well, concerning). #books #cyberpunk #detectivenovel #booksale #sffbooks #ebook #applebooks #kobo #scifi

The end of a fantastic trilogy is nigh. THE RELIC EMPIRE brings Montero’s epic of high-stakes action and political intrigue to a satisfying crescendo. Secrets will be laid bare, sacrifices will be demanded, and the ultimate fate of Kenjir will be sealed in blood and glory. #sffbooks #booksky #new
