The Scientist is a two-part adult sci-fi story. The galaxy's greatest villain is ready to retire as a high school science teacher on Earth, but the powers that be aren't done with him yet. www.kobo.com/series/the-s... More Links books2read.com/u/3LM2A5 books2read.com/u/mgdxqx

A photo of space with a planet's blue atmosphere at the bottom.
The top of the image has a metallic tag with 'The Scientist' written in blue text inside it.
The left half of the image has the text:
THE CREW:
A ‘hero’ that does what he believes is right no matter who pays the cost.
Two sisters who have risen from the darkest corner of the galaxy to fight oppression.
An energetic pilot that ignores commonsense to prove he can do the impossible.
A mathematical genius who’s pattern recognition makes all computers envious.
An odd young woman who seems out of place.
And a quiet man who never fails to deliver.
On the right side of the image, the covers for the books, The Scientist: A Monster's Resentment and The Scientist: Masks & Lies have a ghostly boarder.
A Monster's Resentment is an image of a black hole.
Masks & Lies is an image of an Earth-like planet with the right half of the planet burning.
At the bottom of the image there is a metallic tab with the logos, 'Available at Amazon', 'Barnes and Noble', 'kobo plus', and 'Rakuten kobo' inside it.

Dr Lindz McLeod - THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY out now! @lindzmcleod.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I've been so busy prepping for my viva that I forgot to promote my latest novella! WE, THE DROWNING follows a young man at the end of the world who has just discovered his mother's ties to a drowning cult. Despite that, it's a vaguely hopeful sci-cli-fi adventure with a pink fairy armadillo!

The photo shows the cover of the book WE, THE DROWNING by Lindz McLeod. The cover features a pale, parched beach with several dead bodies artfully strewn along the shoreline. Several bare trees frame the edges.

A 15yo girl raised on a pirate vessel in deep space and a fierce Marine veteran returning to the front lines should have absolutely nothing in common. But when their paths cross, their fates will be entwined in more than one way… Packed with action and twists, this is an unmissable sci-fi adventure

We need to normalise kidnapping billionaires on Christmas eve and forcing them to see all the harm they are doing in the world. And then probably throw them in a pit anyway, cos who are we kidding, they won't care.

Today on the blog: some readers are giving up on indie books for fear of being tricked by AI slop. But I think a little adjustment in how you find books can direct you to the virtually infinite array of great indie books by humans. sheilajenne.com/2026/09/30/h...

How to find books by humans

There are lots of ways to find excellent, human-written fiction in any genre. It just takes different methods than it used to.

HERE WE ARE—RELEASE DAY for The Protector and the Annihilation, an LGBTQ+ epic science fantasy with a vast world and galactic stakes, but most importantly, gays! It's available first on Amazon and Itch dot Io. Will be available wide on the 15th! Here: blue-horizon-tpata.carrd.co #booksky 🌈📚🪐📚💙📚

The Protector and the Annihilation cover surrounded by a drawn rose arch full of pink blooming roses. The background is mostly green and with implied greenery. The mood is a little morose due to color tones.

Cover art description: The epic science fantasy novel cover for The Protector and the Annihilation, book 1 of Blue Horizon.

The cover says "The Protector and the Annihilation" and "by Naila Moonsi." Ranvir Chandrani looks back with a welling anxiety and sadness. He has dark falling short black hair, dark brown eyes with a red speck, dark brown skin, and wears a panjabi-like shirt. Armando Rivera stares with immense worry and concern. He has falling shoulder-length brown hair, amber eyes with red specks in them, light bronze skin, and wears a dark violet mesh shirt that calls to goth and emo-style. Their son Antonio Chandrani-Rivera falls into oceanic depths, wrapping his arms around his knees as he sinks. He has falling rogue-ish black blue-black hair around him, has closed eyes, and brown skin. He wears a blue-ish Chandrani uniform. Aqua light and ocean surrounds his immediate premise. There's oceanic elements surrounding his body, such as orange and dark blue coral."

End cover art description.

Check out the link provided to read the full summary after the links to get because it doesn't fit in this alt text box. It's surrounded by the pink rose arch.
