#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)

#TimeTravelAuthors 5 Oct.
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

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.

“Ready as I'll ever be,” I said, still watching the cats.

“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

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.

“I love stories,” mused Tonio. “My Granddad and my uncle were the storytellers in our family. It brings history to life hearing about it from a personal perspective. Grandma used to laugh and tell us not to believe all of it, but us kids loved the evenings when the _pulque_ flowed and those two got going.”

“What's that gooey stuff inside?”
“Chirimuya.” Ana looked at my blank face and giggled. “It's a fruit.”
“Oh. Wow. Tastes like what custard is trying to be. You'll have to show me what they look like.”
“Sure. I’ll bring some next time. They look really ugly!” she giggled.
I laughed and only just avoided spraying crumbs all over the table.

‘What do you want me to do?’ It felt exciting and laughable at the same time. We had not had a proper holiday for years, and funds were not overflowing in my bank account.

“He's not driving back now, is he?” I was concerned, knowing only too well the crazy hours some Mexicans worked.
“I shouldn't think so,” Bron chuckled. “He lives with friends in town.”
“That's okay then.” I let out a sigh of relief. I admit I was fishing a little, wanting to know if Bron slept or lived anywhere in our physical world. He didn’t bite.
