The route Draeger is expected to follow in A Crimson Void... he doesn't. This is from the 3D starmap I built to accompany the books. Join my newsletter for a chance to name a star in it. davidmkelly.com/a-crimson-vo... #scifi #books #SciFi #IndieAuthor #SpaceOpera
A couple of weeks late, but here it is: a behind-the-scenes look at where A CRIMSON VOID came from — the ideas, the ships, the universe it's built on. Plus links to the book, the interactive starmap, and a free excerpt if you haven't dipped in yet. davidmkelly.com/new-release-...
It's always nice to finally hold your latest release in your hands (or paws). Bingo approves too! "A Crimson Void" launches on the 16th June. #newrelease #books #scifi #reading #dogs
Today is international science fiction day, & Isaac Asimov's birthday. Here are a selection of his books from my collection. They're dog-eared & tatty for sure, but well-read, beloved, & full of the most amazing stories. Thanks for the memories! #sciencefictionbooks #ScienceFictionDay #books
Century-old pi formulas by Srinivasa Ramanujan turn out to be deeply connected to modern physics. The same mathematics helps explain phenomena ranging from turbulence to black holes www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... #science #mathematics #physics #blackholes

A new theory proposes that fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions. These could generate mass and break symmetry, hinting at a universe built entirely from geometry. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... #science #physics #astrophysics

Deep sigh 😌 Finished my initial edits on my new novel & it's gone to my first editor, The setting is approximately 300 years after the Joe Ballen books. I won't see it until it returns dripping in red ink (that's NOT blood... is it?) Here's to the launch! #sciencefiction #writing #novel #editing
"A fresh theory on the Universe's origins suggests gravitational waves, not inflation, could explain cosmic structure, paving the way for verifiable predictions. " www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... #science #Physics #Astrophysics #gravitationalwaves
★★★★★ 5 Stars for "The Angel Monument" by Kath Middleton Well researched, & both setting and characters are exquisitely drawn. Reminded me of something by Bronte/Austen, with a a slight supernatural leaning. Recommended! #books #bookreview #readerscommunity www.amazon.com/dp/1095477285
