I ordered some cards with the @dungeonmistrix art. I should have them at Eastercon as well as the French events I'm attending this spring (Ouest Hurlant and something else I can't talk about right now!).

If you come to Eastercon, I should have gift cards with the art I had commissioned for the release of The Red Scholar's Wake, my sapphic romance between nerdy engineer & sentient spaceship pirate queen.

And if you want to get your very own copy, it's this way:

Hahhahaa The Red Scholar's Wake is on the sapphiclitbot account on the bird site. My little book has arrived!

Alt text: a post from user @sapphiclitbot that says "As the bots slid downwards, further than Xích Si’s arms could reach, Rice Fish shivered — and laid her hand on Xích Si’s lips, gently pressing with the delicacy of a kiss.

Aliette de Bodard, The Red Scholar's Wake"

It's midnight and I just finished reading "The Red Scholar's Wake" by @aliettedb and can't recommend it enough! Spent the past few hours immersed in it because I just had to see it all the way through. So many feelings!

I'm gonna miss all these characters, damn it! But at least I can already pick up other books set in the same universe.

So not only is The Red Scholar's Wake a TikTok favourite, it's also mentioned in the same breath as Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn.

If you need me, I'll be under the bed hyperventilating.

A quick reminder The Red Scholar's Wake is out and that I'd love if you got a copy/recommended it to all your friends/posted a review on social media--word of mouth is one of the prime drivers of selling books and I could really use some help.

Ahhhhh The Red Scholar's Wake in the Guardian!
"Beyond the love story, there are more traditional space opera goings-on: power struggles, political manoeuvring, betrayals and discoveries, and many incidental pleasures provided by the detailed, vividly realised settings."

@ajlanes @aliettedb Sounds great!! It's on my TBR pile too.

If you like as a genre you should try the Shieldrunner series by R E Stearns too. Also includes untrustworthy AIs which is very current.

If you've read and enjoyed The Red Scholar's Wake, would you leave a review ? Or consider recommending it to a friend. Books live and die by word of mouth and it'd be really helpful.
