Just a heads up: Although I may post a "political-ish" post from time to time, the purpose of this account is to talk about writing (mostly my own). I just don't want to disappoint anyone who might be expecting anything else. No hard feelings if you want to unfollow as a result. :-)

Psst...Bub. Yeah, you. Come 'ere.
Tired of this heat? Could be worse–stuck on a starship your whole life with murderers. No blue sky, but no hot days to hard boil your brain either. Maybe that ain't so bad.

I've completed the Alpha manuscript of my 8th novel (and 2nd Martel novel) The Nightmonger Murders. Now, I start proofreading and editing the Beta before giving it to my Beta readers. Here's the cover. #scifinoir #detectivefiction #booksky

Although I haven't started writing the book yet, I've gone thru several iterations of its cover. This is the most recent one and the one I like the best (so far). #scifwestern #booksky

Fresh #tattoo, 16th for me and the first not on my arms (this one's on my chest, pervs). This Oni has many layers of positive meaning for me. Done in 2 sessions, last month and yesterday. Approx 4" tall. Gratitude to the passion and skill of Deon Lucero Jr at Get Inked in Monte Vista, CO.

I've made big progress writing Ch 18 of The Nightmonger Murders. Two more chapters to go before I'm finished with the main writing.
Here's a bit from Ch 14. Nothing good ever happens after midnight....

I just finished Ilium by Dan Simmons, one of my favorite authors. It's 700+ pages! The sequel Olympos is 800 pages! My god, man. I'm only human! #dansimmons

I stupidly miscounted my chapter so it's about 400 words short of my usual goal of 2500 words. It's an action chapter so maybe it's okay to be shorter, but it still pisses me off.

I've completed writing Ch 16 of the Nightmonger Murders and mapped out the final 4 chapters of the novel, so I'm in a good position to finish my book (eventually).

Martel gets grief from everyone, including butlerbots. This is from The Nightmonger Murders, sequel to my Martel PI novel The Ronin of Vine Street.

I haven't posted many quotes lately so here's one from Ch 13 of The Nightmonger Murders. There's a lot of spoilers in that chapter, but this one is not. It's also kinda cheeky...

Just wanting to put it out there that all the novels comprising the #10CentUniverse by @authoredrobins.bsky.social are worthwhile. Hardboiled noir on a generational ark? Yes. Something to help scratch that lingering #Firefly itch? Yes. Great worldbuilding that's not cumbersome? Yes.
