She built a laser to send messages through time. Then someone answered. Earth’s Legacy Part 1: Gemini by @AndroidAstro is hard sci-fi with time-bending communication, first contact, and an attack on Earth that changes everything. For readers who love big ideas, alien civilizations, and science that turns dangerous. amazon.com/dp/B0GYH4FF6Q/ #BookTwitter #AmReading

My debut novel is just beginning to land on virtual and brick-and-mortar store shelves. My cover artist, Charlotte, *really* knocked it out of the park on the cover. 😍 It's about first contact gone horribly wrong, and how the MC figures out what she needs to do to save Earth.

This is a wonderfully curated collection of two-sentence horror stories that I couldn't be more proud to have a story in. Lauren has done an amazing job, and it's all for charity. You should buy it because it's amazing. But you should own it because it's virtuous.
Your quickest read this year? This. Pre-order now! mybook.to/shortscares

To editors who might be Googling me: I am not the Brian Wells in Kentucky who posts videos of firecrackers exploding in fire ant mounds. Unless you think it would sell more books. Then I'm totally that guy.

Peter writes thoughtful Science Fiction, and I'm looking forward to reading this. Galaxies and the civilizations they contain are continuously spilling off the edge of our observable universe. How can we tell them we'll miss them?
The Simulacrum launches next month, expanding First Contact scenarios in a way you won't think possible amazon.com/dp/B0D59ZZ4HG

Whatever you do, don't tell anyone about this book that teaches aliens how to infiltrate and annihilate us. Or just beat us at checkers, if that's their thing. We don't want to give any advantage to those evil murderers. Or board-gamers. Whatever.

The more people who know that the fewer people who know about this, the better, the better.

I just spent two days driving from Michigan to Texas, and BOY ARE MY ARMS TIRED! Did I tell that joke right?

Agreed. This is even worse than when the small New England shop "Viking's Exchange" established an online presence, and for nothing more than a lack of an apostrophe, became "VikingSexChange.com". (capitalization added)

I literally can’t stress it enough how bad this rebrand is. It definitively is the WORST rebrand in history for countless reasons

Peter is one of my favorite contemporary SF authors, and he's also a good friend. (Yes, I'm bragging.) In this interview, he discusses his approach to writing, among a great many other things.
Recently, I was interviewed by Metastellar about writing, science, politics and aliens! Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=Lza-wNI5… #sciencefiction #podcast
