Always up for a Douglas Adams-style sci-fi space adventure!
My debut book drops next year!

First in Finnish 🇫🇮 (since I'm a Finn), and, if all goes well, later in English 🇺🇸 (sorry, my English-speaking friends 🫶).

I can't share many details yet, but expect a wild, Douglas Adams–esque sci-fi humor space adventure! 🪐🌌🤖

Special Delivery 2 still needs a title. The crew is going to be stealing a cargo ship in order to get away. I am strangely drawn to

The Freight Escape

Do you like your scifi emotive and character driven?

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 15:
Don’t be a control freak. Give your characters agency. If they can surprise you, ambush you, knock you off balance, it means you’ve made them come to life. Follow them. See what they do.

My judging group, Team 1.21 Gigawatts, has received their allotment for the 5th annual Self-Published Science Fiction Competition (#SPSFC). Very exciting, and looks like a great group of books.

My shy & retiring SciFi pal @jnevair.bsky.social does not shout about his books enough, so when these two are available for only 0.99 and 1.99, duty calls

2.98 all in, for books 1 and 2 in an insanely good spy-fi series - your mission, should you choose to accept it

I’m knocked out by the early reviews on my book, Boatyard views. Thanks so much to those readers who have taken the time to read it and write their impressions. It makes all the slog of getting it out into the world worth it.

Still 99p/c until tomorrow!

My one-person novel-writing month accountability post

14 days of November, and 25k so far. I think that's pretty good. About a day ahead of the old NaNoWriMo target (1,666 words a day), and closing in on the second half of the story

After a very cool conversation today, I have now submitted all my books for legal deposit in the British Library. It's the law, so there's that, but it means that when the zombie hordes arrive & the world collapses, my books will live on in a dungeon in Wetherby

Anyone else done similar?
