@tomdellaringa.bsky.socialA novelette I wrote, Shepherd’s Flight is a cozy science fiction novelette about a healing ship, a little herbal medicine, and the people (and personalities) aboard. I was delighted to get this lovely five-star review.
@augustmae.co.ukThere is a clock and a cost in every book. Cozy, to me, isn't low on conflict. It's low on cruelty.
@augustmae.co.ukThe robot butler poured perfectly. Bowed perfectly. Never once got a seat at the wedding feast. Now the whole crew drifts toward the music and gladness. Reset them... or ask why first?
@augustmae.co.ukThe Marigold: an old, faded, much-mended barge, home to as odd and dear a found family as the frontier has ever floated.
@augustmae.co.ukEveryone had a place at the wedding except the butler who made it all happen. When the robots drifted from duty toward joy, the easy fix was a wipe. But a true wrangler knows: you listen before you erase.
@augustmae.co.ukThe loneliest light on the frontier, still turning for ships that stopped coming years ago. Robot Wrangler Roy and The Lamplighter.
@augustmae.co.ukA small loved robot vanishes, and everyone agrees there's no point looking. Robot Wrangler Roy and The Disappearance of Woo.
@kungpowunicorn.bsky.social@augustmae.co.ukEveryone loved the little robot. When he vanished, they all agreed on the worst and stopped looking. One patient wrangler stayed behind to read the gap he left. An absence is a behaviour too.
@augustmae.co.ukA single gold light turns over a century of empty dark. One keeper holds it exact, alone. They label it a glitch and plan the shutdown. But first someone must go out, sit quiet, and ask why it still burns for no one.
@augustmae.co.ukForty-one harvesters froze mid-stroke in the golden fields. Not a fault. A choice. The wrangler who listens instead of wiping has days before the dry wind and the contract take the town. What are they waiting for?
@augustmae.co.ukA comfort read for grown-ups: a wrangler who won't throw anyone away, a frontier town with a problem no one can read, and a found family aboard one much-mended ship.
@augustmae.co.ukThe Marigold: an old, faded, much-mended barge, home to as odd and dear a found family as the frontier has ever floated.
@augustmae.co.ukOut on the forgotten frontier, a town stakes its whole year on one bright week of carnival lights. But the wonders are failing on cue, and the old showman gives and gives without anyone asking the cost.
@augustmae.co.ukA small loved robot vanishes, and everyone agrees there's no point looking. Robot Wrangler Roy and The Disappearance of Woo.
@augustmae.co.ukA butler who would simply like, just once, to be a guest. Robot Wrangler Roy and The Wedding at Dust Creek.
@augustmae.co.ukHired robots at a frontier wedding start drifting toward the music and the feast. Flawless one day, yearning the next. A wrangler who knows a reset erases more than faults. What if machines want to belong too?

@augustmae.co.ukEvery gauge reads green. Nothing is broken. Yet the old engine sets her brakes hard on the last run of a dying line, and no one thought to ask her why. A wrangler who listens refuses to force her.
