Happy National Science Fiction Day, everybody!
In honor of the day, my favorite book by Isaac Asimov:

My favorite reads of 2025 so far. Also, if you'd told me I was going to read 3 books with the word "clown" in the title, I'd've said you were crazy but here we are. 🤣 See my reviews below:

Personally, I've never had a problem with Goodreads. It does everything I need or want it to do as an author and reader. I do, however, also like some of the alternatives, The StoryGraph being my current favorite.

Indeed. There's a big difference between reading because you HAVE to and reading because you WANT to, which, sadly, I think many don't get to have because their experiences with reading in school sour them on it. Again, not everyone, since plenty have had great reading experiences in academic settings, myself included, but it does seem to be a thing. 🙂

2025-08-28 02:19:14 UTC

- reply

There are always exceptions, though the vast majority of people I've talked to who've stop reading did so because they burnt out on a single genre/author/etc. and never bothered to try anything else. Hence, the advice.

2025-08-28 01:58:15 UTC

Never be afraid to take risks as a reader. The surest way to fall into a slump, or out of love with reading, is to read the same sort of thing all the time because no matter how good it is, you'll eventually get bored. Mix it up! Try something new! If you need ideas, see my feed!

With work on "The Nemesis Legacy" winding down, my focus has begun to shift back toward other projects, such as an omnibus edition, containing the first third of The Nod/Wells Timelines, which will arrive later this year, and the universe's compendium, scheduled for 2027.

I'll be slowing my reading as I switch back into production mode over the next few weeks but I do have more titles I'd like to get through before the end of the year, one of which I've already started. Stay tuned!
For now, back to focusing on my own projects...

No problem. Basically, the two most common ways it's done is via Amazon's "Expanded Distribution" option in KDP, or directly through Ingram, as they own Bookshop.

2025-08-03 20:03:19 UTC

- reply

Honestly, it doesn't do much for me financially as the vast majority of my readers still purchase/read via Amazon/Kindle but I'm definitely a fan of the concept (supporting local book stores,) so even though I earn quite a bit less per-sale and it takes much longer for me to get paid, I'm still pretty pro-Bookshop.

2025-08-03 19:42:36 UTC

A little reminder that all of my books are available via bookshop(dot)org, which means that pretty much any local book store can stock them, and benefit from their sale online. If you haven't tried Bookshop, here's a great place to start!
