It’s not AI, cause the author linked me to their Instagram, Amazon page and had their phone number in the email footer.

PSA for authors out there: DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Don’t email me (or anyone) asking for a review or interview when a) you don’t know the correct name of my podcast, and b) you assume I write reviews for a site that I have 0 affiliation with. Come on, people, it’s not that hard...

Thank you, too 😊

Author/journalist @annaleen.bsky.social is an absolute delight (and wicked smart), so I can’t wait for you all to hear our two @sffaddictspod.bsky.social episodes with them 🙌

Thank you!

Revealing the cover for @frasierarmitage.bsky.social’s upcoming sci-fi novel CAGE OF STARS, releasing on Sept. 9th! It was so much fun designing this cover (with art by grandfailure), and I’m also working on a really cool interior for the paperback edition.

Pre-order it here: a.co/d/6t4BiHJ

Super honored to once again have worked on the cover design for my friend @frasierarmitage.bsky.social. His new novel Cage of Stars is easily his best.

August is going to be a truly insane month on @sffaddictspod.bsky.social!!! And I hope to see you all at Worldcon in Seattle 🤘
