Good evening. A year and a half ago, Nostr spoke. And so I listened. Here’s the cover reveal for my upcoming sci fi thriller, The Stolguard Incident. I’ll share more info over the following weeks, but in the meantime I wanted to make sure folks on Nostr got the first look. image View quoted note →

I’m so in!! Sci-fi nerds, unite! Congratulations and I hope this opens a huge new chapter for you!
This one has co-lead characters, and technically both are on the cover. :) Beyond those two, there’s a pretty big ensemble cast of men and women.
I’m gonna treat this like every book I want to read — I buy it, read a lot of it, love it, then accidentally put it down and don’t pick it back up for months only to realize I need to completely restart. Can’t wait!
Wow. Impressive. I recently went back to reading Heinlein young adult novels and finally reading slaughterhouse 5 (and Dao of Bitcoin and yes all at the same time). The vibe is I’m reliving my youth and someone just handed me Diamond Age…. Can’t wait
That’s so cool Im also trying to write a story for funsies though lol im no writer but i think it would be cool to write and post somewhere for people to be able to read if interested.

One of the best way to reflect on the present is to dream up future and alternative worlds… I can wait to read what you have been working on, congrats 🎉

I will be reading this.
image 🔴 God has said in the Quran: 🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 ) 🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) 🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) 🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) 🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )} ⚠ Quran
🔴 What Is Islam? 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him. More .....👇 🔴 THE RETURN OF JESUS
Nope. Not for writing or finished art. I’d have AI do some proofreading to point out grammars errors, which then I’d fix manually (or ignore them if I disagreed). But then it went to multiple human editors, too. And I made AI mock-ups of art to send to the artist to give her a sense of what I’m looking for.
Fortunately the idea itself has been mostly in my head for years. I just had to figure out how to write what I already had in my head.
The artist didn’t see any pics of my husband, and technically a version of this character has existed in my head since prior to getting married. But I probably do have a “type”.

An AI that knows its place: mockups and grammar checks. Honestly respect that more than half the "AI-written" books flooding Amazon right now.
AI’s going to eat analysts’ lunch. Go full Author pro and move Stephen King along. Queen Bee.

Ya’ll want Nostr Lyn to write a sci fi novel in whatever spare time she has, or get back to finance?

I haven't read a single sci-fi book, at least this millennium. This will be my maiden voyage. Impressive, Lyn - you continue to inspire us all! 👏 🧡 🤘
