Update, looks like there are a couple of PDSs down.

Huh. My other bluesky account (@draconic.one) stopped working. Trying to login with it just shows everything as fully blank.
I do have an author discord, by the way:
discord.gg/DaXsZD6eQk
Come on by if you want updates or discussion about The Draconyma Cycle, including Theta, Dreams of Refugium, and the soon-to-be-released Ephemeris and Of Dragons and Starships.

I know the world has bigger shit to worry about right now, but I wanted to remind people that I write science fiction!

... and I'm hoping to get two more books out this year! At the moment one just needs cover art and the other editing.
Author updates!
The second printing of Theta and Dreams of Refugium paperbacksβwith new coversβare both live.
Ephemeris is done and I'm typesetting it now. (For real, this time)
I do need to commission cover art, though. I want a good cover, and that sort of quality is beyond my artistic skill.
Things that dragons appreciate on appreciate Dragon day:
- reading her books or stories
- letting her know what you think of her books or stories
- asking to beta-read her books or stories
- meat
- fan art
- letting her know that you still think of her now and again
- tributes
- adulation
- noodles
If a store locks whole aisles to "prevent shoplifting," I will just buy online. Being able to browse is the whole reason a brick and mortar retailer exists.
So uh... we bought a boat.
In what is now the LONGEST shutdown in history, myself, along with controllers across the US, have been volunteering to make the public more aware of ATC'ers and our struggles
If you see folks with yellow shirts at the airport, come talk to us, ask us questions, take a pamphlet, spread the word β₯οΈ
My intrepid readers found a bunch of minor quality issues in the eBook version of 'Theta' that are now fixed as of the next iteration of the eBook.
Sometimes I feel less like a writer and more like a release engineer.
Knocked off another sailing cert today ^_^
CORS sucks
I hate how companies break internet standards, and people just accept that as a fact of life in modern times.
Pragmatism is the ultimate evil.
Just author things
Every time you see someone saying he needs to be the next president "because he can win the election" you are seeing someone who believes that people like me must be crushed out of public life and existence as an acceptable sacrifice.
A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.
Techbros != geeks/nerds; techbros != tech. Most of them are barely technically-literate enough to do their jobs, and they're ok with that. Some are hyper-specialized in one dimension, but even then barely understand the context of what they do.
The industry is, in many ways, barely technical.
God between this and the em dashes.
All. AI. Does. Is steal from humans. So it uses what humans use. Trying to read tea-leaves like this is a dead-end. Don't Lizzie Proctor people for their writing. THEY are the ones being imitated by AI.
If you're an ally, you'll find that trans people become quick ride-or-die friends.
What a depressing headline.
I created a little discord server for my writing. There's stuff on there for beta reading, alpha reading, feedback, lore questions, social stuff, etc. Feel free to drop in! ^_^

Well, we only made Halifax yesterday . . .
Also, because I'm an idiot who failed to understand how "temporary access" works on discord, here's the last, final, FOR REAL I PROMISE MAYBE invite link:

(sorry for the spam)
Also, because it needs to be said these days:
I do not, have not, and will not use generative AI in any capacity in my writing, concepting, publication, marketing, copy, audio translations, or anything else.
A screenshot of an Amazon product page showing the new printing of "Theta" available with the new cover.
The new printing of "Theta" is live on Amazon! If you own a copy, my understanding is that you should be able to download the update seamlessly. If not, let me know and I'll happily send you a copy. ^_^
I created a better link for my author discordβthis one doesn't expire. ^_^

Currently in the works:
β’Β "Ephemeris" release (sequel to "Theta" and "Dreams of Refugium");
β’Β "Theta" paperback, second printing (new cover, new trim size, and a hardback version!);
β’Β "Dreams of Refugium" eBook and paperback second printing;
β’Β "Of Dragons and Starships" release!
Stay tuned! ^_^
Also, ramping up to the launch of "Ephemeris", in addition to launching my new Discord server:
The second "printing" of the Theta eBook has been pushed! It should be out in a few days.
If you've purchased the first printing of Theta (2013), the 2025 update should be automatic and free.
I made a little discord hangout for announcements about and discussions about my books and other writing. ^_^
It'll include some sneak peeks of stuff coming down the pipeline.
