Happy birthday to the incomparable British writer #MJohnHarrison, born #OTD in 1945. His books are in almost constant rotation here, and it’s no exaggeration to say I’d probably see the world in a very different way were it not for his work. Yes, I have multiple editions of The Course of the Heart. Can you ever have *too many* editions of one of the greatest novels ever written? Many happy returns, Mike! #SpeculativeFiction #WeirdFiction #ScienceFiction #LiteraryFiction #Books #Bookstodon @bookstodon@fedigroups.social

I'm editing Chapter 4 of the second Beneath Still Stars novel. One thing I love about editing is coming back to the manuscript after some time away. It almost feels like I'm reading the story for the first time, and that's one of my favourite parts of writing. #ScienceFiction #SciFi #SpaceOpera #SpeculativeFiction #CharacterDriven #HardSciFi #BeneathStillStars #SciFiBooks #IndieAuthor #IndieSciFi #ThoughtfulFiction #AmWriting #WritingLife

Dear furries, For no reason in particular, I've ended up reading two different book series recently with zero or just a few human characters but plenty of bipedal nonhuman animal characters. For example, a brave bunny girl and a cynical cat soldier in M. R. Carey's Pandominion series. Or a stalwart elephant scholar and a genocidal yak Senator in Lawrence M. Schoen's Barsk series. Both are currently two books. Schoen says he's working on a third Barsk book but the Pandominion series is done. Check them out! Go crazy, make a ruckus, and get someone to make movies out of these works! #books #Scifi #ScienceFiction #SFF #SpecFic #SpeculativeFiction
