The opening trilogy of The Hybrid Helix will be free on Amazon from October 20-24 (image just shows covers for the three books, and says free on those dates). If you don't LOVE them I'll personally give you TWICE your money back.

I question I've been asked a lot: what the best piece of writing advice you ever received? I've given various responses over the years. But, after a decade and half of writing full time, I've come to the conclusion that the answer boils down to two words: just start. HTH #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Well earned. Bluesky is great. It values connection over virality. And yes that can be a little boring to some people’s criticism. Better than fascist rage bait.

Can I interest you in a book editor that loves sci-fi and fantasy and also has flexible availability for the remainder of the year? What if I said he didn't charge an arm and a leg? You should definitely check him out. It's me. I'm him. Hi, how ya doin'

It’s everyday, multiple times a day. The sad thing is they keep getting sent because the scams or working on someone.
