@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

Here's the cover I created. Tap the #altText for more.

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 putrified 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.”

#BattleOfSedgemoor #MonmouthRebellion #FamilyTree #History #Histodon

Researching my family tree,
I found out a very strange thing.
An old progenitor to me,
Once tried to overthrow the king.

[I found out that a direct ancestor of mine was involved in the Monmouth Rebellion and fought at the Battle of Sedgemoor in an attempt to overthrow James II]

Memorial for the Battle of Sedgemoor that reads; To the glory of God and in memory of all those who doing the right as they gave it fell in the Battle of Sedgemoor 6th July 1685 and lie buried in this field or who for their share in the fight suffered death, punishment or transportation pro patria.
