Things I made subtle tribute to in my #humor #scifi #novel, Tyrant Reptile 2087: The Revengening: - Jurassic Park - Godzilla - Gravity Falls/Bill Cipher - Mario - Star Trek - certain internet memes - the Wilhelm scream I think I've forgotten a few. I wonder how many you can find! #booksky #readsky

Two truths and a lie: 1. My #novel Tyrant Reptile 2087: The Revengening is available to buy now on #Books2Read! 2. It's also available on Amazon if that's more your style 3. Links to buy it are *not* in my bio 😉 #booksky #readingsky #readingrec #promo #readersky #sciencefiction #humor #book #ebook

To whoever rated my #book four stars on Amazon... thank you! 🤩 I don't know if I'll ever get used to the idea that something I wrote has been seen (and even liked!) by other people. I hope I never do, cos it's a very cool feeling. #booksky #literature #scifi #sciencefiction #readersky #readingsky

My sales are not doing great, possibly cos I've neglected to do any marketing for the past couple weeks. There's one more week til my sales reports are due, so if you're looking for a silly little book to read this spooky season, feel free to check mine out! It would help me greatly! #booksky #books

Sometimes I get a little disheartened after I finish reading a book because I wonder if I will ever be able to write a book that good. I don't always have the most confidence in myself that I can.

Just finished reading a book that started from the same premise as my own (Frankenstein + dinosaurs🦖). It was much better written than mine! Shout-out to @cemcgill.bsky.social for their book, Our Hideous Progeny-- queer, feminist, all around a fantastic read (and with dinos, the cherry on top!🍨) 😄💖

(1/2) The fun thing about the #InkfortPublishingDerby: a "sand cult" formed among the #writers this year. I believe it started with the #author of Sandrat's Run, but @hmbiggs.bsky.social, @rachaelelliott.bsky.social and I also added sand to our books... for the giggles 😁 📚📣 2025pubderby.carrd.co

📚📣This is how I imagine the castle-turned-laboratory in #TyrantReptileRevengening. Unnecessarily dramatic, just like the main character's ridiculous tastes. 📚🤣 The only thing I'd alter in this pic is the weather. The Reptile🦖 was born on the night of a storm⛈️ #sciencefiction #booksky #book #author

A castle with a tall central tower sits in the middle of the frame. In the foreground are autumn trees. The castle sits on a hill; beyond it is a small town. It appears to be late in the day and the weather is clear. Credit for this stock image goes to Lukas Hartmann.

Hey #writersky, do you find #drafting or #editing more challenging? For me it's the latter. Struggling to motivate, struggling to navigate this draft, struggling to tear it apart and piece it back together. Send help! #writingcommunity #writesky #writing #AmWriting #writers

"What season(s) does your story take place?" #TyrantReptileRevengening is set in the fall. Autumn is the season for spooky things. For a drama king like my MC, it's the best backdrop for his moodiness and madness. His name is Hubrys Rue. What did you expect? #writingcommunity #booksky #writersky

Writing the first sentence each day is perhaps the most challenging part of my #writing journey. Sometimes I can't do it until I tell someone to tell me to do it. What is a unique part of your own #writerslife? #writingcommunity #writersky #AmWriting #writesky #sciencefiction #drafting #editing

T-Rex Marshall @trexmarshall2087.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

I'm struggling to find the zone today. Still, every sentence I write is one I didn't have before. Gotta think positive as I slog along. #writingcommunity #AmWriting #writersky #writesky #booksky #WIP

Probably not a surprise, but I'm a big fan of Jurassic Park (both movie and book). Which of these moments did you find more iconic? P.S. I may or may not have made reference to one of these scenes in #TyrantReptileRevengening 🤭 #dinosaur #AmWriting #sciencefiction #writingcommunity #booksky

Two gifs side-by-side from the movie Jurassic Park (1993). The first depicts Lex Murphy holding a spoonful of green jello which is wiggling as the young girl shakes with fear. The second depicts a glass of water in which the water is pulsing and rippling with each step of the incoming dinosaur.

T-Rex Marshall @trexmarshall2087.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

I should be writing, but instead I'm scrolling the #dinosaur tag and thinking about how cool dinosaurs are. I wonder if it will bog down #TyrantReptileRevengening if I put the plot on hold to write long vivid descriptions of every dinosaur I find cool 🤔🦕🦖 #writingcommunity #writesky #writersky

If you’re someone who still reads for pleasure, you are a marvel. If you’re able to unplug from all the chaos of our entertainment culture and disappear into the warmth and solace of a book, that is a rare gift and I’m very glad to know you.

What are some good tags for marketing my book on Bluesky? It's Frankenstein + Jurassic Park, with a Pratchett-style tone. Sci-fi with a tilt towards horror + humor (if that's a thing). Please engage & let me know where I should post!🦖 #writingcommunity #booksky #sciencefiction #writesky #writersky
