Is my fingerboard not ebony?
I noticed the side of my fingerboard is brown. It's a 100+ y.o. Parisian violin according to the label, which my luthier believes is authentic.

Mike Chen's The Photonic Effect is fan fiction!
The story is about a ship returning to its home after 10 years stuck in a gravity well. The captain is a woman with a holographic boyfriend, and there is a Neelix type who throws parties. Almost right away, they get pulled into the ~~Dominion War~~ some massive war...

What are you reading?
I decided to read some recently published books to get an idea of current trends. I'm a huge fan of classic literature so I worry my style is unpublishable. I have never read for craft before.
I checked out 3 books from the library:
J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon5 creator): The Glass Box Preachy commentary on Trump, but in 2024 he predicted events of 2025 and 2026 pretty accurately! I doubt a no-name could have gotten this published.
Becky Chambers: A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (A monk and robot book). 149 pages. Minimal expo dump. Dialogue begins after 1 page of set up. World-building comes as necessary to the plot. Brilliant example.
Davis Bunn: Prime Directive. I haven't started it yet, but as a Star Trek fan, I had to check it out. The subtitle is "A distant planet. An isolated outpost. And sixteen murdered." This was even more appealing to me because I read somewhere that current trends favor mixing of genres. 188 pages, and on page 188 the bottom half of the page is chapter 63! Very intriguing after seeing questions on other subs about chapter length.
All of these writers have long track records. I think the library probably thinks like publishers. Established authors are a safer investment of funds.
I'd love to hear suggestions of first novels published within the past 5 years.
