Nick East (Indie Writer)

@NickEast_IndieWriter@mastodon.art

Aspiring fantasy author and geek, retired due to a bunch of chronic illnesses. The Last Philosopher is my first book under the subtitle, Nothing is Everything. It's been called imaginative, funny, and unique. People have even gone so far as to compare it to #DouglasAdams and #TerryPratchett. My response to that comparison, is to go hide under the covers for a week with embarrassment. Posts about books, nature, and geekstuff. #Writing #Author #Indie #Fantasy #Comedy #Satire #NoAI #fedi22

Ellis Cú Anann Arcwolf

@ellisarcwolf@hcommons.social

Emotionally unstable, self-castigating, exceptionally well-managed, diversely modular, polymathic genius punk dividual. Ellis Cú Anann Arcwolf is a transgressive author of speculative fiction, the mother of Urban Occult Punk, and an LPC with 10+ years of experience serving at-risk populations. Ellis was forged in the fires of intersectionality: plural, intersex, pansexual, Latina, autistic, kinetic, & queer. Pro-nuance, pro-science, anti-dogmatic. Intolerant of policing behavior.

Retired #AI #robotics chief #scientist, ex- #NASA #JPL, gov’t exec, entrepreneur. I frequently reply to posts about US politics, climate, high tech and weird stuff. I collect antique ethnographic edged-weapons. The Edge: There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
