"That autumn, when my friends packed and went back to university, I left with two suitcases, unsure of what to expect and with no plan beyond what I'd promised my parents: to not give up on my studies and pursue a degree online."

The image behind the text is a border that is dark blue with gold stars with a black background with neon blue border. An illustrated caticorn holding a pencil and writing in a book with a rose behind one ear is in the lower right corner. A different version of the same illustrated caticorn is curled up writing in the lower left corner

There was a knock on the door. I looked at Tonio who shrugged. “Do you want me to get that?”
“No, I'm already on my feet.” I turned the porch lights on and opened the door. Outside stood what I could only describe as an ageless man. He was dressed in a dark blue suit like a businessman on a London street, which made him look slightly uncomfortable. He didn't look Mexican or like a tourist.
“_Buenas noches_, can I help you?” I asked.
“I was told you were interested in going to Bolivia?” the man offered in English. “I'm Bron.”

#TimeTravelAuthors 17 Oct excerpt trick/treat
Jac is in a panic and Peluche Cat is reassuring her.
#AndinoAndina #specfic #WIPSnips #readersonbluesky #catsinbooks #catsinfiction
available where you buy ebooks, xcept azon.

‘Instead of getting all worked up and blaming yourself for something you clearly cannot control, maybe...’ his voice trailed off. I snuffled into my tissue. ‘You know you can’t force timing, and you are after all hearing me all right, aren't you?’
I nodded. I hadn't thought of that.
‘There are a lot more factors to this than you know. Much more than just you and 'unknown' in this equation. Why don't you just try to enjoy being somewhere else right now? Treat it like a holiday?’
“But Peluche, I don't know how!” I cried. “I can't relax until I know what I am doing and that I can do it... ”
‘Let me tell you a secret, then. They are still debating how to best go about this, the best approach to bridge across you on our timeline, to those who might be interested in what they have learnt. Relax. You are not doing anything wrong.’
“You are sure I'm not screwing this up?”
‘Positive.’ He head-butted my knee. ‘You've stopped crying. I think I deserve some treats for that, don't you?’

#TimeTravelAuthors Most cynical character? I don't think I can point to any of them, be that in #AndinoAndina or #TimeShift The cynic used to be me, the author, in the past. Grief is giving me a beating and I don;'t know who I'll be going forward.

#WIPSnips Rice

“That’s the one. And flatbread and choclo of course.”
“Naturally.” Choclo is a kind of big kernel white corn, served as an accompaniment to main dishes the same way as one might serve rice or potatoes.

#AndinoAndina #specfic OUT NOW as an ebook (not on azon)

Jac is allowed to see a possible *future* event, what happened on one specific timeline, as an incentive or encouragement to keep going. #AndinoAndina #specfic

#TimeTravelAuthors 3 Oct
There are a lot of beings leaving rn; one of them my partner of 20 yrs. This morning I thought back to the grief scenes in #AndinoAndina and while still true, it hits differently. If you have lost someone and want some distract me reading, maybe try it?

Tonio is a self-made man. He and two of his friends install and develop solar-powered products. It's my fault, really. I mentioned it in passing when we'd been together for a few months. The effect had been immediate. There was something about the sun and his fiery nature that just clicked.

“What's this then, kitten?" I cooed to Peluche, tickling his nose with his tail. Tonio chuckled. “Maybe you could try to distract him?” I said, failing to encourage the playful furball to perch on my lap instead of ruffling the papers on the table.

#Septopolis The Andean Republic, on another timeline, tends more towards utopian, BUT there's still the outside world and people who can't see the wood for the trees and humans be humans ie bad eggs everywhere

#WIPSnips Being neurospicy in a world that's set up for neurotypicals IS exhausting, which both MC Jac and the author can testify to.

"I still help out [at SunRoof], just to remind myself and the staff that I'm not a kept wife or a useless gringa.”
“Is that how you see yourself, Jacqui?” Reesha asked gently.
“Sometimes. When I can't do all the stuff everyone else seems to manage just fine. When my sensitivity gets to me and I'm exhausted. Or the ever present humidity and the oppressive heat become the last straw and I can't function.”

#TimeTravelAuthors Sept 11: Has your MC ever been in a fight?

Probably. I don't know... define fight.
But here she is fighting with her parents in a flashback.

In the beginning was the word... and the word was Bolivia!?
#AndinoAndina speculative fiction (with cats!) written by Liz Rosales WITHOUT any ai. Does utopia spread or get squeezed out of the world?

#Septopolis
#AndinoAndina takes place mostly in the fictional La Republica de los Andes — The Andean Republic, a parallell existence where the South American continent wasn't divided and devoured by conquerors. Solar technology was developed centuries ago. (Peru/Bolivia/Chile/Argentina) #solarpunk

@ellisrosales.bsky.social Sep 9, 2026, 5:39 PM

Morning #Septopolis you crossed my timeline so I'm answering.
In #AndinoAndina , #specfic, set on another timeline, people verbally speak Andean, English, Spanish, and a few Portuguese. Then there's also telepathy.
