A very organic appearing digital double exposure of weeping willow tree in Portland Oregon and a long corridor full of metal doorways in a storage unit in Hillsboro Oregon. The end result looks like a corridor on a lost forgotten spaceship that has been overgrown with mutant or alien vegetation.

Mutant Corridor on a Lost Generation Ship

I wrote a novelette to complement my #hardboiled #detective series set on a #generationship. Unlike my longer works, the title for this one feels elusive. I've narrowed it to:

* AIN'T MY CASE
* DEVOTED TO DEATH
* JUSTICE FOR A PRICE

Anyone have a favorite in there?

cover and blurb for CHIVALRY WILL GET YOU DEAD by Ed Robins “All I wanted was to drink until I couldn’t remember Madelyn anymore, but a former detective can’t ignore a murdered dame in his compartment. Why would someone kill such a beauty and why’d they choose me to take the fall? "It'll be generations before the Starship Australis reaches Tau Ceti, but I only have days to clear my own name. To find the killer, I'll have to dive into the ship's seedy underworld of prostitutes, dealers, assassins and one seriously pissed off crime boss. Then, once it's over, maybe I can make time with my gorgeous bartender, or at least get back to drinking enough to forget what a mess my life’s become.”

If you're gonna read ONE noir #detective #mystery set on a #generationship in 2026, read Alastair Reynolds' HALCYON YEARS.

If you're gonna read TWO, grab your copy of CHIVALRY WILL GET YOU DEAD today. Only 99¢ through Tuesday!

Cover and blurb for Easy As It Gets, Book 4 of the series Murder on the Starship Australis All I wanted was to never feel anything again. Manipulated and betrayed, I'd lost all hope for a happy ending. I deaden my emotions with the drug Copa, and that made it possible to go on living–if you wanna call it that. Then a mother and her son go missing and, as it turns out, I'm just the guy to find them. Lucky me. Ripped outta my high, I'm ensnared by a tangle of cons, lies and treachery that not everyone wants unraveled. The lives of a boy and his mother hang in the balance as I teeter on the edge, and it's only a question of which will put me in more danger: my mouth or my addiction.

I've heard back from 3 of 4 beta readers, and 2 of them say EASY AS IT GETS is their favorite in the MURDER ON THE STARSHIP AUSTRALIS series so far!

I'm finishing up the final draft now. Look for pre-orders to start soon for this #hardboiled #detective #noir set on a #generationship. 🪐📚💙

It's been quite a journey with "Easy As It Gets", the 4th book in my #hardboiled #detective series on a #generationship. But as I'm writing the resolution, little bits are falling into place in ways I didn't quite anticipate and it is such a beautiful thing. #iamwriting

Consider the social challenges: preventing mission drift, resolving internal conflicts, and adapting leadership across generations. A multi-generational ship isn't just a vehicle; it's a closed, evolving society with unique pressures. #GenerationShip 3/6

First pages of "The Voyage That Lasted 600 Years" by Don Wilcox

According to @sff180.bsky.social, the first #scifi story involving a proper #generationship was Don Wilcox's "The Voyage That Lasted 600 Years" and that Wilcox was from Lucas, KS--only 2.5 hours away! I sense a pilgrimage coming on.

As a Space person, I will digest this all at my leisure later. But I must address the reason why this competition has been brought to my attention, and that is once again you have not given Women pockets!
There are Women on that design team too, so I can only imagine the guys just shouted over […]

Finished Generation Ship last week & really enjoyed it! Balanced multiple POVs, a skill I admire, and satisfied my craving for some good SF. Sheila was my fave character, and Eddie's arc was an intriguing surprise. Def checking out more of Michael's books! #amreading #sciencefiction #generationship
