Good evening. A year and a half ago, Nostr spoke. And so I listened. Here’s the cover reveal for my upcoming sci fi thriller, The Stolguard Incident. I’ll share more info over the following weeks, but in the meantime I wanted to make sure folks on Nostr got the first look. image View quoted note →

This one has co-lead characters, and technically both are on the cover. :) Beyond those two, there’s a pretty big ensemble cast of men and women.

I’m gonna treat this like every book I want to read — I buy it, read a lot of it, love it, then accidentally put it down and don’t pick it back up for months only to realize I need to completely restart. Can’t wait!

Wow. Impressive. I recently went back to reading Heinlein young adult novels and finally reading slaughterhouse 5 (and Dao of Bitcoin and yes all at the same time). The vibe is I’m reliving my youth and someone just handed me Diamond Age…. Can’t wait

One of the best way to reflect on the present is to dream up future and alternative worlds… I can wait to read what you have been working on, congrats 🎉

Nope. Not for writing or finished art. I’d have AI do some proofreading to point out grammars errors, which then I’d fix manually (or ignore them if I disagreed). But then it went to multiple human editors, too. And I made AI mock-ups of art to send to the artist to give her a sense of what I’m looking for.

I mean, technically these two are first print. But available for sale likely in mid-March once we confirm a few more things.

Fortunately the idea itself has been mostly in my head for years. I just had to figure out how to write what I already had in my head.

The artist didn’t see any pics of my husband, and technically a version of this character has existed in my head since prior to getting married. But I probably do have a “type”.

An AI that knows its place: mockups and grammar checks. Honestly respect that more than half the "AI-written" books flooding Amazon right now.
