“If sci-fi was a planet, Inkican would be its ambassador.” Fast food for thought. Middle-grade sci-fi author seeking like-minded adventurers who love unique stories and cats. Let's discuss the multiverse over coffee and rescue kittens.

Pues era hora de que hiciera #presentación aquí y más si cabe con la iniciativa #vamonosjuntas

Soy Paladina, una mujer en la treintena que es capaz de compaginar dos trabajos como profesora de formación profesional y project manager para una consultoría I+D+i.

Mis tiempos libres los dedico a #videojuegos, escribiendo sobre ellos para OrgulloGamers. Cuando puedo leo (#literatura) tanto novela juvenil como #scifi. Por otra parte, llevo mi propia página web #WebSencilla que hice desde 0 con mis manitas (sin framework ni ná).

Por último, destacaría que me gusta mucho #Starwars y #Frozen.

#esittely heippa, terveisiä Lakeudelta, kroonisen kyynisyyden kanssa tasapainottelemaan pyrkivä perheellinen ihminen. Olen eksynyt synnyin paikastani peräti kilometrin päähän. Eniten kiinnostaa kaikki, mutta #kendo #vasemmisto #scifi #fantasia #elintarviketeknologia varmaan eniten. En juuri jaksa huomioida kanssa ihmisiä ja taipuvuutta paasaamiseen on joten blokkaa jo tavattaessa niin pääset vähemmällä.

ARKADY (1985) Acrylic on Canvas - 32" x 20"

Having passed through terrible destruction, the former hub of the Galaxy in Isaac Asimov's classic opus is now a pastoral world. 1/4

#sciencefiction #scifi #scifiart #illustration #isaacasimov #foundation

With a leather bag over her shoulder, a young woman with red hair stands on a metal platform set against a pastoral backdrop and blue skies. She wears an olive green jacket and striped shorts with yellow tights. Caught mid-step, she turns her head toward the audience. The angle of her legs are a mirror of the twisted metal of decaying towers that collapse into each other.

Space Diner (2020). 3D illustration I made based on an original 2D artwork by artist Space Gooose - https://www.artstation.com/spacegooose

#Blender #Blender3D #scifiart #3D #3DArt #space #cats #Art #SciFi #Space #Illustration #DigitalArt

A 3D Sci-Fi diner floating in space. There is an android on the back of the diner smoking a cigarette. A sign on top says "Diner - Coffee Pie Taters." Another sign says "Open 24 hours." Inside the diner there is a table with a cup on it, and a pink cat sitting at the table.

"Little Brother" von Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) handelt davon, wie schnell die eigene Heimat zum Feindstaat werden kann, wenn die Freiheit der Sicherheit untergeordnet wird. Und davon wie schnell die Technik, die uns ermächtigt und vernetzt, zum Mittel der Überwachung und Unterdrückung werden kann. Dabei macht Doctorow Mut mit den Mitteln der Technik für die Demokratie zu kämpfen. #bücherwabe #chemnitz #bücher #literatur #lesen #books #literature #bookstodon #scifi #politik #politics

$Ein Bild der Bücherwabe im Schaufenster der Buchhandlung am Brühl. Es sind neun Bücher zu sehen: Ursula K. LeGuin: The Word for World is Forest, Stefan Heym: Schwarzenberg, Leaf\Lawson: Ferdinand, Norbert Bobbio: Rechts und Links, Arne Semsrott: Machtübernahme, Magdalena Sorger: Ameisen, Hannah Arendt: Menschen in finsteren Zeiten, Cory Doctorow: Little Brother (Aufstand), Mely Kiyak: Werden sie uns mit FlixBus deportieren?$

finished reading Record of a Spaceborn Few 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Centuries after sending colonies into space as insurance against Earth's collapse, humans have integrated into alien civilisation. But now what purpose do those colonies serve, and what happens to their distinctive communal culture? Good premise & great world-building but not much plot, with a few too many characters.

Trolls, boogeymen and witches, oh my!
Just another day for a young wizard.

It all starts here: https://books2read.com/b/TrollSong

#author #indieauthor #books #writing #fantasy #scifi #sciencefiction #sff #actionadventure #fiction

The ad flyer for the series The Wizard's Scion.

(Background) View of a planet from space.

(Top Center) A black flying saucer surrounded by this text:
Trolls, boogeymen and witches, oh my!
Just another day for a young wizard.

(Top Left) The cover of Troll Song displays a woman in battered, muddy armor with her two swords crossed against the neck of a dwarf. The book has a red stamp in the lower right corner indicating the ebook is free.

(Lower Left) The cover of Forgotten Legends displays a child reading in bed as a black, smoky monster with red eyes peeks out from under the bed.

(Lower Center Left) The cover of The Third Wish displays a wizard on top of a mountain, looking to the sunset, over a city of sky scrapers that have plants growing on them. In his shadow is the red eyed creature from Forgotten Legends.

(Lower Center Right) The cover of Dark Moon displays a witch and wizard fighting back to back, holding pistols, while objects fall around them, with the moon behind their heads.

(Lower Right) The cover of The Inverted Glass displays a line art hourglass with a white figure in black sand at the bottom, with a black figure in white sand upside-down in the top. Balanced on a scale are a heart and a feather.

(Upper Right) The cover of The Wizard's Scion: The Complete Series displays several figures in silhouette representing the main characters, as they traverse a wormhole. Behind them is a red-eyed octopus.

I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far. 😞

So, if you like one of the hashtags below, please consider following me, and if you do, I'll follow you back! Thank you. 💗

“[Milne’s] cryogenics story, ‘Ten Thousand Years in Ice’, in which a survivor from an ancient advanced civilisation is revived in the present, unintentionally became one of science fiction’s great literary hoaxes”

Robert Duncan Milne (1844–1899) was born #OTD, 7 June, in Cupar, Fife. He emigrated to the USA & became America’s first full-time writer of science fiction
