@saltyflowey You're so kind! I've heard a lot about Bluesky and may head that way. I'll announce it here if so. :)

Unsure whether or not I'll be hanging around here much longer (updates only at most), so here's a friendly nudge that you can find me posting peacefully over on the gram some days @ mxrileyaugust 👋 I post pictures of my cat and other neat things I see!

"This is PRECISELY the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write... That is how civilizations heal." In these wordless hours, a lifeline from Toni Morrison worded 20 years ago: themarginalian.org/2016/11/15/ton…

There is no tweet well composed enough to express what I feel right now. For everyone hurting, I'm with you. For everyone wondering if hope for humanity is a worthwhile cause, I'm with you. Try to stay strong.

It's official: The Teller of Small Fortunes is now out in the US & the UK! From a blank Google doc 2+ years ago, to a real life physical book (and ebook, and audiobook!) available on bookstore shelves near you -- it's been one heck of a journey.

I have just finished reading the most wonderful, touching, entertaining and thought-provoking book I've read in ages. "The Last Gifts of The Universe" by @mxrileyaugust is an absolute joy. Great characters on a quest across the stars, with their cat. Loved it start to finish.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the event last night, and to my amazing conversation partner (and new friend!) @ryfkah and to @HarvardBooks for hosting us! Meeting fans of Last Gifts and new readers both was such an amazing experience -- I'll treasure this always.💛

Big thanks to Paul for the interview! I had a great time with this one. Check it out for a peek at some of Last Gifts' more unconventional inspirations, my thoughts on a video game adaptation, and one or two hints about what I'm working on next! Also inside: a picture of my cat!

Some people look for meaning at the bottom of a bottle. But in the lighthearted #SciFi novel "The Last Gifts Of The Universe," Scout tries to find it by flying around the galaxy. To explain why, check out this interview with author Riley August. paulsemel.com/exclusive-inte… 📖🚀🐱

I was really excited to share Last Gifts' publishing journey with Writer's Digest! Inside I talk about how I ended up self-publishing, the amazing #SPSFC (#SPSFC4 happening now!), and how I ended up getting a traditional book deal.
