My final “Ask Me Anything” for my virtual book tour for Border Crosser is today (10/8/20) on Reddit’s r/fantasy. Stop by to say “hi” or ask me anything!

I’ll be on Reddit’s r/sciencefiction for an “Ask Me Anything” this Thursday, Oct. 1. Stop by if you’d like to say “hi” or ask me anything!

October 1 is also the official release date for Border Crosser–the paperback has already been available for a while, but the Kindle version will finally be released.

Hey folks, my “ask me anything” on Reddit’s books subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/books) is coming up this Thursday 9/24 starting at noon–hope to see your questions there!

“Darkly comic and slyly allusive, Border Crosser is a ripping good tale shot through with mordant social commentary. A fresh and intelligent take on forbidden AI, religious zealotry, borderline personality, sex, art, and genocide—not necessarily in that order—that stuck in my head and left me hankering for a sequel.” —Jo Miller (winner of four Emmy Awards, writer for The Daily Show (2009-2015), and late-night comedy showrunner)

“Tom Doyle’s Border Crosser is a hyperkinetic tour of a sprawling solar system and galaxy in a dark and delirious future. Doyle explores the deep, painful and unpleasant aspects of the psyche, showcasing some of the more repellent examples of human behavior, yet manages to bring a surprising amount of decency and affection to his story. The book speeds along at a breakneck pace, and will astonish you, wrench your heart, snatch your breath away, make you laugh, and move you. Tom Doyle promises to be a unique voice and a trailblazer in Science Fiction as it moves into the future. ” —Richard Paul Russo (author of Ship of Fools)

“The bastard love-child of Philip K. Dick and the Marquis De Sade, BORDER CROSSER will sink into your mind like one of Frank Herbert’s stone burners. This is revolutionary science fiction.” —David J. Williams (author of The Mirrored Heavens)

“This is not your parents’ space opera! A cross between the Stainless Steel Rat, Jerry Cornelius, and Tank Girl, the titular agent is the antihero for our times. Doyle impresses with a strong voice, a unique narrator, and a challenging far-future setting that dangerously mirrors our present world.” —Alex Shvartsman (editor, Small Press Award winner, and author of Eridani’s Crown)

The first of several wonderful advance reader reactions to my forthcoming novel, Border Crosser!

“Here is a novel that starts at a gallop and then accelerates. Tom Doyle’s invention is sly and continuous, his command of the ins and outs of science fiction adventure is exhilarating. And in the redoubtable Eris, he has created a character who is smart and sexy and more than a little twisted. Border Crosser is a book you won’t soon forget. “–James Patrick Kelly (Nebula Award winning author of Burn)

I’ve dedicated the book to Jim–he’s been a supporter of this story since the Clarion Workshop. Border Crosser will be out October 1st! https://ringoffirepress.com/upcoming-books/

I’m joining a group of science fiction, fantasy, and horror authors, artists and others who are going to invite you virtually into our homes and neighborhoods. Each day at 5PM EDT one of us will do a Facebook Live video to show you what’s happening in our world: what we’re reading, writing, painting, playing (or in my case, the creepy old house where I live). I will be “Live” at 5PM EDT, May 8th. But I’m the least of it. Check out the extraordinary talent on the schedule below, starting April 18th at 5PM EDT. To watch, join this Facebook Group: “Stroll With the Stars: Home Edition Spring 2020.” https://www.facebook.com/groups/258166815210814/
