I’m an author in a movie. My typewriter is a giant fucking bug. With wings. Why is there bug ooze all over my desk. Why is it talking to me. Aaaaah. Aaaaaaaaah.

I’m an author in a movie. After settling at my immaculate desk I stare into the middle distance for a moment before beginning to type. I don’t stop until I have an impressive stack of printed pages next to me. I don’t check Twitter or Instagram and I am always dressed.

The totally not staged photo below offers a peek at my new novel, WILD MASSIVE - due early '23, but a few copies have already escaped into the world...

"Cram-packed with ideas. Unbridled chaotic fun like the best theme park ride and once you're done you just want to get back in line to go again." - Matthew, bookseller @MagicCityBooks on Wild Massive by @scottomoore
Someone reading a copy of Wild Massive by Scotto Moore, they're holding the book in front of their face.

Pleased to be part of this roundup by BookPage, whose review of my book said it "reads like Noam Chomsky and Judith Butler conceived a metaphorical child while high on LSD and blasting Skrillex in a basement."

5 years ago when I said I listened to music, I was laughed at, mocked, made to feel like a fool. "Listen to music!?" they would sneer "Like some humpback whale?" But music is trendy now and when I listen today, I derive extra enjoyment from knowing I was right about it all along.

Here's the cover to my next book, WILD MASSIVE - and there's a great blurb about it on Tordotcom's blog, where you are entreated to "prepare for the interdimensional ride of your life": tor.com/2022/05/31/cov

Please stay seated and keep your arms and legs inside your own dimension. COVER REVEAL for the cover of Wild Massive by @scottomoore! Art by @amirzandartist Design by @CFoltzer
The cover of Wild Massive by Scotto Moore on a lime-green background. The cover features a desert-like, mountainous landscape with two figures at the center of it, standing underneath an old, high-tech-looking train track.

"They cut the whole section where we return to the Shire to find it overrun by feral baby rainbows, but the narrator (hey, that's me!) puts us right on the dance floor as the Queen of Sparkle Dungeon (hey, that's also me!) tries to save reality. 3 thumbs up." - Isobel

Book blurbs, but it's a quote from your MC reviewing your book 😬

Easta! It's the beloved story of how sentient, horn-playing, crossbred bunny-eggs live peacefully on the moon, until UFOs arrive to blow up King & Queen Bunny-Egg's castle, because screw the monarchy, amirite? Anyway this video is called Easta.

Their instructions were to use this keyboard to write the next book. However I have already written the next book, so it will get its first proper use (aside from goofing off on the internet) on the next next book.
