One of the authors I follow, @clacksee, has made two of her #books free for today.

For some light-hearted #SciFi with plenty of hope, there's The Left Hand of Dog: whitehartfiction.co.uk/product…

If you'd rather read about old ladies getting justice by any means necessary, there's A Bit of Murder Between Friends: whitehartfiction.co.uk/product…

I can highly recommend both.

EU readers should use her Payhip shop: payhip.whitehartfiction.co.uk

Hace más o menos una hora empecé a leer "Yo, robot" de Isaac Asimov, y ya voy en el capítulo cinco. Estoy alucinando con todo lo que estoy leyendo, y eso que nunca fui fan de la ciencia ficción más allá de la space opera.

The Islamic Roots Of Science Fiction

You probably already knew that Islam was having a scientific golden age during Europe's middle ages, and making tons of scientific and medical discoveries. (Which is why we use words like "algebra.

Here it is. The latest track I’ve released, and the first video clip I’ve ever done. It is, of course, Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith).

Kaaren is a long time friend who I used to co-host a weekly karaoke night with, at a small town bar called The Reef back in the 90’s!!

One of the goals of the Dgar Project is to write new songs, and record them with friends that I have some kind of music related history with. When I got the opportunity to record with Kaaren, I took it.

Kaaren, on the day, was amazing. I sent her a demo of the track to practice and listen to a week earlier. She did some really quirky takes. It’s all her voice too. There’s no auto-tune. There’s no pitch correction. It’s all her. So much fun.

The “doo doo doos” she does was originally a melody I played on a distorted electric guitar. On one of the takes she does these “doo doo doos” over the riff. It just sounds so cool, I replaced my guitar track with her vocals.

I also hope you enjoy my #Blender project that makes the video in all its 8 frames-per-second glory!

Please enjoy the #scifi #Dgar #indie #cult #musicvideo Space Pop (feat. Kaaren Elizabeth Smith!

Please find and give the song a “favourite” on your preferred streaming platform if you enjoy it.

Add Space Pop to a playlist!

Time for an #introduction now that my account is finally on my own instance where I intend it to stay.

I'm a techie and a writer. I first started programming on a Vic20 when I was about 5 years old. I started writing some years later but put it aside for many years.

The last few years I picked it up again, and have published two #scifi novels so far, which you can read more about at galaxybound.com

Hi all!
I'm Seth. Nice to meet you and looking forward to some interesting conversations🙂.

As I'm an author and it's my first post on Mastodon (#introductions), I suppose I should start with the kind of work that I do. Here's a glimpse!

✨#introduction ✨
Hello everyone! I'm Greg, and I'm a writer looking for a nice home and community. I’m mostly a #scifi writer (and reader/watcher) and have been working on flash fiction and poetry as of late, on my way to working up towards longer fiction.

Here’s a small sample of some recent #haiku, ranging from #fanfiction for #Cyberpunk2077 to random #photography moments. (At which I’m trying to get better, and marry it to my love of writing.)
