Glad I got in and had Dave Law do my covers before he got famous ... his art was just used for the cover of the latest SFWA G&CQ.

I'm especially happy with the editing from Yuliya Goldshteyn www.yulgold.com and the cover art by Dave Law www.davelawart.com.

one day lucky

Super excited to announce that a free novella, Roller Dogs, is now available on my site www.onedaylucky.com. Set in the same universe as my upcoming novel, it's a quick read and I'd love to hear any feedback you might have.

Another amazing bit of magazine cover art from Force Fluide www.artstation.com/forcefluide2. More retro scifi glam than #cyberpunk, but I'm partial to the inclusion of Wayne Rainey's 1988 YZR500.

It's been a while since I created this starter pack and a bunch of new people have been added to it since. It has all of the #cyberpunk heavy hitters like Okorafor, Wells, Atwood, Gibson, and Napper, many of whom are pretty active, plus loads of artists and game developers like CDPR.

Headshot in black/white of a woman with cybernetics running up the sides of her face, cybernetic ears, and an exposed jaw that appears metallic. Digital art that looks like it was done with an oil pencil.

A cyberpunk vending machine in a narrow view through obscuring junk. Appears to be tucked away where only the very desperate would reach it.

The sand toys are a bit of an odd choice, but I do like the general feel of this #cyberpunk image. The narrow view into what feels like the last possible option for whoever is desperate enough for whatever this machine would be vending. www.artstation.com/optics9348

Native-Land.ca | Our home on native land Native Land is a resource to learn more about Indigenous territories, languages, lands, and ways of life. We welcome you to our site.

If you're working on anything that might touch on the native people that live on or once inhabited the land in your #writing, native-land.ca/maps/native-... is an amazing resource. N. and S. America are pretty well covered, along with Australia.

Waiting for the final edits back from my editor so I started another short #cyberpunk story, which leads to more questionable entries in my search history.

Everyone searches that up at least once in their lives.

Not overtly #cyberpunk, more transhumanist as the title indicates, but still a very arresting piece of art from Anna Mary M via their ArtStation www.artstation.com/ttomb6.

A cyberpunk image with a blonde haired Asian woman taking a selfie. She has a cybernetic arm holding the camera and is smoking a cigarette. There is a futuristic rifle leaning against the wall behind her.

High tech low life #cyberpunk image from Eddie Mendoza www.artstation.com/eddie. Even when there is a technical replacement for phones (implants) I think they will persist. You want people to know you're on a call, not talking to yourself and people do like to indicate social status through devices.

This isn't the final version of this #cyberpunk drawing by Clint Cearley www.artstation.com/clintcearley, but I think I like it more than the finished version. There is a roughness to it, and I like the more subdued lighting compared to the final fully blocked and colored piece.

A cyberpunk street scene with a small car driving down a foggy street with red billboards and lights all around it. By Francisco Landa.

Heavy mood in this #cyberpunk street concept from Francisco Landa www.artstation.com/patxi_landa. The full red scheme instead of the more common blend of blues/purples/greens gives it a more ominous feel. Rachel from Blade Runner makes a cameo on one of the billboards.

Even the more stationary poses in these #cyberpunk book covers from Ignacio Bazan-Lazcano exude action. They were done for @dlyoung.bsky.social's Cyberpunk City series which has now been added as next up on my reading list.
