My morning visitor! This oriole is pecking at the windows on our cars and making all kinds of noise. I think he's looking for some love. <3 #birds #nature

The change in confidence of the average #writer over time :D #writingcommunity

This fake AI animated woman on a synthwave video I'm listening to (while I write/edit) is captivating me. WHY!? LOL. She is STARING INTO MY SOUL. #writingcommunity #music #synthwave #scifi

Today is the day! #Indy500 Get that pizza and chocolate ready!

The next book in my #scifi series The John and Alvis Sessions will be released in July! A drug-addicted colonel disappears into a criminal stronghold, and John is hired to bring him back. But the mission changes, forcing him to rely on his bounty and a robot partner in crisis to survive. #booksky

Syd Mead's amazing interior drawings for Blade Runner. He was such a legend. #scifi #film #sciencefiction #movies #bladerunner #sydmead

Current mood. :/ It will get better, but some days it's really hard watching our country fall apart. Writing only soothes so much. I'm thankful I have a loving family.

Book 4 in the John & Alvis sessions #scifi adventure series is coming this summer! A drug-addicted colonel disappears into a criminal stronghold, and John is hired to bring him back. But the mission changes, forcing him to rely on his bounty and a robot partner in crisis to survive. #booksky

What's the most common hot beverage in space? Gravi-tea. You know you love it. #scifi

I'm biased toward Bluesky because it's where for the first time in years I've had an enjoyable social media experience, but I also like the idea that if the protocol it's created with builds out like they hope, social media will be more resistant to rich dude fuckery www.wired.com/story/big-in...

I love racing, especially IndyCar, and it was such a cool moment to see the Prema rookie Robert Shwartzman win pole position for the freaking Indy 500. Amazing accomplishment. I'll be pulling for him Sunday. #indy500 #racing #indycar

I loved Don Martin's comics SO MUCH.

Wow, the De Tomaso P72 just dropped - only making 72! (Out of my budget lol). It's the closest thing to a real Speed Racer Mach 5 ever. Love it. #cars #scifi #wow

Amen! Could not have said it better myself.

Need a pick-me-up? Grab the first book in my #sci-fi adventure series. Trust Jeffrey! :D www.amazon.com/dp/B09RRW6WW1 #booksky #bookrecommendations #sciencefiction

At some point I need to write about this when #Andor is over, but wow is season 2 delivering. I think Andor is in the room for the best #scifi ever filmed. Up there with Blade Runner, Interstellar, The Expanse, and the best of Star Trek/similar TV shows. Everything I hoped Star Wars would be.

#Andor is so damn good, and Luthen's S1E10 speech about sacrifice was amazing. Reminded me of the Operative's speech in Firefly. Interesting that they are two sides, Establishment vs. Rebellion. But they both suggest they sacrifice their humanity for the cause. Striking similarity. #scifi #StarWars

Finally got a chance to check out Foundation. The first two episodes were fantastic. I think I read the first book in my teens, but remember nothing about it. I know they had to change things to make it work. Regardless - this is some darn good stuff. #scifi #sciencefiction #TV

Two covers for the first book in my series, two different artists (NO AI), two different styles. Which one would make you pick up and read the book and why? #scifi #booksky #bookcovers #art #books #design

The End! Finished the ugly baby draft of my 4th book in my series (5th novel overall). I hit a stride, wrote 24.5k words in April, including 13.5k in the last week. Celebratory drink will be Glenfiddich Solara, a beauty of a 15-year Scotch. KEEP WRITING! #writingcommunity #writing #booksky #scifi

What are you reading/listening to? Book 6 of the Expanse on audiobook - still good. Hinder Stars series from C.J. Cherryh in paper. My fave universe. What are you in to? #booksky #scifi #sciencefiction #bookrecommendations

I'm just never gonna be as cool as my #NMS character.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

This looks like Barad Dǔr flying into a wormhole! #art #Tolkien #what?

Downtown this week for work. Daughter wanted to se the cherry blossoms since they were in bloom - pretty amazing. We had a great view and saw a crazy brutalist building going up. I think it's the Empire. #Chicago

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
