Scientists find promising hints of life on distant planet K2-18b Scientists find new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life.

I feel this amazing news is getting somewhat drowned out by all the noise. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Feel good scifi with a touch of Red Dwarf humour. I highly recommend his trilogy of Orphan Planet, Twin Landing and Star Bound

Treat yourself. Or don’t, but it’s your loss

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

Going for the David Attenborough Blue Planet-feelgood SciFi crossover crowd, obviously

Wow, I do NOT write like this! I’m impressed. My chapter notes go, ‘some SciFi stuff here’ and ‘the characters do something’

AUDIOBOOK INCOMING! 🎧
Third Loch From the Sun is up for pre-order as an audiobook!

It will be available worldwide (from Quest/WF Howes) on 18 December, and to say I'm excited is to entirely underestimate the giddiness in the Burke household today

I had to look up 'opprobrium from a gaslit crowd' in the dictionary, and it says, 'booing the shit out of the same old rubbish as last year'.

Jilly Cooper is very much the writer we all should aspire to be. She wrote her first book in 1969 and, according to her obituary today, 'lost the manuscript on a London Transport number 22 bus after a very liquid lunch.'

The single random shout 2 minutes in! I think this could open an indie folk horror film about a village where things are not as they seem

I like to think they’ve returned this one because they’ve spotted two more of mind that they’d rather have. They should be showing up in the chart anytime soon

Well that’s a rubbish start to the day.

I’m going to need someone to step up, take one for team, and buy an indie SciFi book.

Let me know when it’s safe to look at the sales chart again, thank you for your attention to this matter

Great news, you guys! To celebrate the release day of my new space opera series, the Space Werewolves have scheduled a super moon for October 6th! All I have to do in exchange is stand in the woods, blindfolded and covered in barbecue sauce.

While you wait, learn more at ChainedSpace.com!

I can’t recommend these two books highly enough. Jules Brown aka @rexburke.bsky.social writes cracking good travel books. Try these for size and you’ll want the rest as well!

Pretty sure I sat in a cafe in Córdoba last year at the end of that street, and had the same view!
