(Lightless is still on sale on kindle!)
I love the covers for the Lightless trilogy--so simple and so gorgeous! The first book in the series is currently on sale on Kindle for $2.99.
Serving aboard the Ananke, an experimental military spacecraft launched by the ruthless organization that rules Earth and its solar system, computer scientist Althea has established an intense emotional bond—not with any of her crewmates, but with the ship’s electronic systems, which speak more deeply to her analytical mind than human feelings do. But when a pair of fugitive terrorists gain access to the Ananke, Althea must draw upon her heart and soul for the strength to defend her beloved ship. While one of the saboteurs remains at large somewhere on board, his captured partner—the enigmatic Ivan—may prove to be more dangerous. The perversely fascinating criminal whose silver tongue is his most effective weapon has long evaded the authorities’ most relentless surveillance—and kept the truth about his methods and motives well hidden. As the ship’s systems begin to malfunction and the claustrophobic atmosphere is increasingly poisoned by distrust and suspicion, it falls to Althea to penetrate the prisoner’s layers of intrigue and deception before all is lost. But when the true nature of Ivan’s mission is exposed, it will change Althea forever—if it doesn’t kill her first.
Praise for Lightless “Gripping . . . sci-fi flavored with a hint of thriller.”—New York Daily News “[A] measured, lovely science-fiction debut [that is] more psychological thriller . . . contained, disciplined, tense . . . The plot is compulsive. . . . Lightless is the first of a planned series, and you can’t help looking forward to learning what’s next.”—The New York Times
“Lightless is full of suspense and fun as hell to read.”—BuzzFeed
“Absolutely brilliant . . . This is science fiction as it is meant to be done: scientific concepts wedded to and built upon human ideals.”—Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of the October Daye series
“The stakes in this story are high—life and death, rebellion and betrayal—and debut novelist Higgins continually ratchets up the tension. . . . A suspenseful, emotional story that asks plenty of big questions about identity and freedom, this is a debut not to be missed.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A taut, suspenseful read.”—Tech Times
“Lightless is an exercise in lighting a very slow fuse and building the tension to an unbearable pitch while making us guess just how apocalyptic the ultimate explosion will be. . . . It is a high-wire act, a wonderment, and a fine accomplishment from a name we’ll be seeing again.”—Sci Fi

The Kindle edition of Lightless is on sale this month for $2.99 so this is your chance to read a Usual Suspects-style psychological thriller set in a haunted house in space for cheap
This book (and its two sequels, Supernova and Radiate) are the first books I ever published! I wrote Lightless when I was nineteen, in college, and mildly suicidal. It's crazy to think that it's been ten years since then. Life is infinitely better.
I'm very proud of the Lightless trilogy, although--probably due to my headspace at the time--the books under my C. A. Higgins name are considerably grimmer than the Taran Hunt books. Lightless is the story of an interrogation aboard the top-secret spaceship Ananke after the small crew discovers two stowaways who may--or may not--have connections to a notorious terrorist. The sequels feature a powerful, unforgiving female tragic hero (Supernova) and a tangled queer romance (Radiate).

All the best Avon and Blake whump/bromance moments leading up to that climactic admission of trust across the first two seasons of Blake's 7.
This show changed my life, but it also gave me a whole new understanding of homoerotic frenemies-to-lovers tension
maybe i like it when a female character is deeply flawed and responsible for countless deaths and so on and so forth. more female characters should be deeply flawed and responsible for countless deaths
BUY MY BOOK AT A CHEAPER PRICE AND FOR LESS SHELF SPACE STARTING TODAY
throwback to the hardcover release of The Immortality Thief last year!! The cake was a surprise gift from my beautiful wonderful amazing brilliant girlfriend.
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year—when The Immortality Thief came out, I didn’t know if Solaris would buy the sequel. (They did!! The Unkillable Princess comes out in 2025!)
If you haven’t read The Immortality Thief but you want to, tomorrow it comes out in paperback! It takes up less shelf space! That means room for more books!

Couldn't get the link to the side-by-side of the WGA offer, the AMPTP counter offer from May, and the final deal, because it's a document to download and too many pictures to take for this post that probably wouldn't be legible, but it's in this tweet (click the link below the tweet to go to said tweet):
Don't forget,the fight isn't over for SAG-AFTRA and next year, contracts are up again for IATSE, including The Animation Guild.
If you're a fan of movies, film, and animation, keep helping the guilds fight the good fight!
And of course, big thanks to strike hero Drew Carey for paying for probably THOUSANDS of meals for striking writers in LA these past five months.
Congratulations WGA and Pre-WGA for your amazing wins with this contract!
Bitches love to be like "science sucks where are the eldritch horrors where is the knowledge thats maddening to know" that's thermodynamics motherfucker. The first two world experts in thermodynamics (Ludwig Boltzmann and Paul Ehrenfest) both killed themselves because they had to do fucking thermodynamics
Oh you want to use abstract methodology poorly-understood by most to study something so alien to human existence it cannot be intuitively understood, then in doing so uncover a terrible truth that implies the unavoidable doom of all humanity? Nice going dingdong you just found out about entropy
“Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.”
States of Matter (1975) by David L. Goodstein
Via Wikipedia:
[Boltzman] is buried in the Viennese Zentralfriedhof. His tombstone bears the inscription of Boltzmann's entropy formula:
S = k • log W
Having the formula for entropy — that fundamentally, all things must decay — inscribed on your tombstone is hauntingly poetic. Dang.
