Update: It appears "I enjoy pie" is indeed a complete and coherent biographical statement, I am for one heartened by that

#Detective Tom Devoe makes new friends everywhere he goes on the #Starship Australis. Is it his acerbic wit? His rugged masculinity? His willingness to punch through any obstacle? Book 4 of this #scifi #noir series will find all three tested to the limits. 💙📚🪐

What an awful book. It didn't help that the ebook I bought from Musaicum Books was atrocious (see review for details). Avoid this publisher! I love a simple #scifi story, but this was juvenile. There are a lot of people who love it, but I gotta think that's mostly nostalgia. Any recent readers? 🪐📚💙

All right, @scalzi.com, you talked me into it! Ran into a copy at MSP and couldn't resist. Now if I can just push through the rest of The Stainless Steel Rat...

Is there anyone who could embody fierce strength and femininity like Loretta Swit? I loved the evolution of all the M*A*S*H characters, but hers was probably the best. RIP.

Meta's #AI once sent out messages that the first book in my series was @authorwhmitchell.bsky.social's "Ashetown Blues". Loved it, but it ain't mine. Meanwhile, the Roomba is screaming "Error!" because it jammed itself beneath the cabinet door again. Then, over at the @chicago.suntimes.com...

My #dog: I swear undying fealty to you, my liege, and shall defend you to the death again all delivery agents, passersby, and random creatures within my sight. Also, my dog: Oh shit! It's the ROOMBA! Fly you fools!

Mickey Spillane's first three books in the Mike Hammer series are on sale on Amazon. Some of the best #Hardboiled #Noir put down on page. Gritty, violent and sexy--what's not to like?

As the holder of a Bachelor's in history, I can confirm that it is indeed a prank. So was the degree.

Blanchard Blues by @tomdellaringa.bsky.social A well-written, action-packed #scifi #western filled with entertaining banter. If you enjoy shows like #firefly, this book may be for you! 🪐📚💙

The Noir Detective’s Journey: An Adventure in Disguise In noir, the detective is hired to do a job—usually to find someone or uncover some buried truth—but the story unfolds more like a quest than a casefile. darlingaxe.com/blogs/news/n... #writingcommunity #noir #mystery #booksky

I can't #recommend this fabulous set of #scifi #detective #noir novellas enough! Fun mysteries with a great touch of humor. Very excited for the forthcoming novel! 🪐📚 💙

Have you watched The Residence? This may be my favorite #whodunnit show. The #detective is quirky but not obnoxious and projects competence without arrogance. The plot twists brilliantly across multiple timelines and points of view. Thanks again to @harkaway.bsky.social for the #recommendation!

"I get knocked on the head a lot. Comes with the territory, I suppose. Don’t ever quite get used to it." I wrote that after the last time my MC was knocked out, but it didn't quite fit the context. I saved it anyway and finally got to use it today! #amwriting #scifi #hardboiled #detective #books 🪐📚💙

Player Piano by @kurt-vonnegut.bsky.social - 4/5 stars Vonnegut's first #novel is a #specfic parable about the loss of dignity as machines replace human workers. There are many parallels to the rise of #AI, making it just as relevant today. 🪐📚💙

Hearing #laughter from your daughter's room only to find her #reading is one of the best sounds in the entire world. I love #fatherhood.
