Why 3455 AD? 🤔 Why physics, of course. Turns out, when you write hard sci-fi, even the year has to make scientific sense. 🚀 #sciencefiction

So proud to share this book with you. 📚🚀 And it makes it even more special that my brother, Bruce, designed the cover. You can grab your copy on Amazon or at michaelbrachman.com. #sciencefiction

Some themes always seem to find their way into my stories. Redemption is one of them. I’m drawn to characters who get things wrong, carry the weight of their choices, and still have the chance to become something more. #sciencefiction

Curious to know the #1 cause of death in 2067? 👀 I have a theory. And if you’ve read my books, you know I spend a lot of time thinking about where the future could take us. Watch to hear my prediction. 🚀📚 #sciencefiction

A special shoutout to my brother, Bruce, who has illustrated every one of my book covers. These are only a few of his designs! Thanks, Bruce. Couldn’t do this without you.

I want the ideas in my books to make you think - not the prose. No overly complicated writing. Just big ideas, compelling characters, and stories you can actually get lost in. Hard sci-fi doesn’t have to be hard to read. #sciencefiction

Talking about writing with AI while wearing my "This is my writer's shirt." Ironic? #writing #sciencefiction

If you’re new to my work, consider this your invitation to dive in. And if you’ve been reading along for a while - thank you for coming on this journey with me. Which one are you reading next? 👀 #sciencefiction

What happens when we stop thinking for ourselves? In Rome’s Revolution, people have become intellectually lazy, allowing the Overmind to do the thinking for them. Dive into the Rome’s Revolution series and discover the world behind the story. 🚀📚

New here? Welcome! I'm Michael Brachman, author of emotionally intelligent hard sci-fi exploring humanity, hope, and the future. Thanks for following along. 🚀 #read #BookChatWeekly

Sometimes the most fascinating characters are the ones who refuse to follow the path anyone expected. #sciencefiction

Every book has that scene... the one that still makes me laugh every time I read it. 😂📖 #scifi #writing

Confession from an author... 🤫 I may have cheated a little when creating one of my characters - I modeled him after myself. Writers, tell me I'm not the only one. Have you ever slipped a little bit of yourself into a character? ✍️📚 #sciencefiction #writing #authors

Call me crazy, but I expect my science fiction to get the science right. 🚀 The best stories spark your imagination without breaking the laws of physics. That's the standard I hold myself to with every book I write. Fellow #scifi fans... are you with me?

Hey writers, does anyone else feel like their writing style keeps evolving? The stories stay true to who you are, but the way you tell them changes with every book, every draft, and every year. Curious if other writers feel the same. ✍️

Every legend has an origin. Forging Rome is the story of Rome - how she became who she is, and how one young woman's quiet strength gave rise to an entire civilization. Grab your copy here: a.co/d/0gotKzxb #bookrecs #read

People ask me where my stories come from. The truth is, after a while, the characters start telling me what's happening. They have their own voices, make their own decisions, and occasionally ignore the outline altogether. Fellow writers... does this happen to you too?

Sometimes stories have a way of growing beyond what you imagined. What began as a screenplay ended up generating so many ideas, backstories, and untold adventures that it became two new books. Some stories simply refuse to stay on one page. #read #writing
