My feminist SF web-novel Mars Needed Women is complete! 23,300 words in 31 chapters, one chapter posted each day throughout March, the last posted 23 minutes ago as I write this. Check out the cover art.

To read, either use the hashtag #RSMarsNeededWomen or this link to the first chapter: eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/11408894 The full novel is in the thread. Just scroll to read.

I'll leave it up for you to read for at least a week. After that, I'm revising it for later secondary publication.

The cover art for Mars Needed Women. The background is of the Mars surface with rover tracks, big rocks, sand, and a greenish sky. There is a triskelion image of Mars, which is a tattoo in the story. Credit NASA and ESA for the photos. The back cover reads as follows: Shanghaied May Ri struggled when the EM goon clamped an aromatic wet rag over her nose and mouth... Waking weightless and nauseated—stuffy head pounding, being floated somewhere—despite grogginess, she eyes-closed punched someone, spinning away to bounce off a wall. The click of cartilage, the thump off a bulkhead, the blare of a warning horn, and "Rig for ring spin!" rang in her ears. A tech clapped a bag over her mouth before she vomited up her last meal, while enduring the blonde's glare as blood beaded around her nose. May Ri glowered back. Sitting on the wall, dragged on her butt, her inner ear then her innards soon informed her the wall was becoming the floor. From the author: “A hopeful deeply-dystopian feminist SF story, with thinly veiled jabs at our current world's bad actors making for a bad future. Please note the past tense in the title: Mars Needed Women. The story's women are going to work to bring down the system, at least that part that's oppressing them, in a massive unscheduled disassembly.”

#Excerpt Broken Bonds, The Curse of Sotkari Ta, Book Two, a #spaceopera

"You know, Montor, I thought she was just part of your mission to procreate Sotkari Ta babies and that perhaps she grew into a diversion for you. I did not know you had married her—and why did you join the rebellion? It is all so strange to me. You never seemed to care about anything or anyone other than yourself. It was a lesson you taught me well."

@adriabailton #Writephant …time for self-promo! Feel free to post whatever fits in the character count.

Two items:

  1. This Sunday, March 30th, I will be the victiim featured creator on the hashtag #ScribesAndMakers Talk to Me Day. Follow that hashtag and (hashtag)TTMD starting Saturday night through Sunday to ask questions or hear me blather. I'm in PDT, and will answer when I can. I'm saying "when I can", because of item 2. I will be writing, revising, and publishing chapter 30 of 31 (fingers crossed) at the SAME TIME. Can you spell masochist?

  2. #RSMarsNeededWomen is both a work in progress, and a published a feminist SF web-novel that I am posting on MASTODON. Click the hashtag to see the latest. Today I published chapter 24. I've written chapter 25 for 17, 600 words, and there will be 31 total chapters. I'm doing the full Charles Dickens Monty. Many chapters can be read standalone. If you want to start at the beginning, it's here: eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/11408894
