Edward Ashton

Robyn Bennis Doesn't Want Your Money, Actually | Patreon SFF books & stuff

Hey everyone, can I ask a quick favor?

Some bureaucrats want me to make a "business plan" with plausible "evidence" that I have fans who may someday actually buy one of my "books".

Can you help me prove I have an audience by subscribing (for free!) to this nonsense?

That's not for me to say, is it? Every book is a conversation between the author and the reader. I've said my piece. It's up to the reader to decide how they want to respond.

Left my hotel in Bucharest 17 hours ago. Got another four at least before I see home. This part of travel, I do not love.

@edashtonwriting.bsky.social's 2026 /After the fall/ gave me another @netgalley.bsky.social bingo. what a fun read!

Just finished my last panel at #NOD2025 in Brasov, Romania. If any of my author friends out there have an opportunity to attend this meeting next year, you really ought to jump at it. This is a beautiful country and a well-run meeting, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to participate.

Dying of the Light is one of my all-time favorite reads.

Hey there friends. If you're planning to be in Romania next week (and honestly, who isn't?) please be sure to stop by the NOD festival in Brasov to say howdy. Vampires aside, it should be a good time.

A few familiar names on the shelf of Kinokuniya Books in Sapporo, Japan. The SFF English section is very small, so it was cool to see a range!

Due to a warehouse problem around launch time, the Immeasurable Heaven won’t be stocked in any Waterstones for the foreseeable future.

I’ve compiled a headache-inducing pile of nice blurbs and would be so grateful if anyone who enjoyed my weird non-human book could reshare.

Thank you!

There are noises coming from my woods right now which are alarmingly similar to those of King Arthur and his men constructing their wooden rabbit outside the French castle in Holy Grail. I may need to fetch the cow.

Mal Goes to War @edashtonwriting.bsky.social Standalone SF in which a highly capable but socially maladroit AI is forced to exit cyberspace and navigate a grim US civil war as one of a mismatched group of physical participants. Cleverly written,witty and with a very human heart, this is great fun

The best part about starting a new book when you've just finished editing your last one is comparing your current first draft to your recent 500th draft and wondering if you've completely forgotten how to write.

I was just compelled to watch the last 40 minutes of "Hunting Wives." Pretty sure I am now measurably dumber than I was an hour ago.

Note to self: Not everyone lives in the same time zone as you do. 😒

"Unlucky Evens, Cursed Odds"

I should note, however, that I cannot specifically endorse this book, and all claims that it is perfect for you specifically should be considered provisional at best.

New author achievement unlocked: Just saw an ad for a book with the tagline "Perfect for fans of Edward Ashton."

So, yeah, I guess Tabones and Maggie the Cat should probably grab themselves copies of that one. 😇

Made a new friend tonight.
