Get shot in service. Be awarded a Purple Heart. But it will never be enough. I am among multiple US military veterans in my Korean-American family. My family has served in almost every branch of the military. We know what it means to serve ideals bigger than ourselves. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

What a gorgeous list with amazing authors. Am beyond tickled to see Silk & Sinew among them!

I have no idea if these award eligibility posts actually DO anything other than lay bare the good and silly work I've been lucky to achieve in 2025. 11 short stories published (on top of finishing my first novel)! I'm very grateful to all the editors and publications who've given my words a go!

Yet another BEST OF for SILK & SINEW! Not only is a treat to be included among so fine a roster of writers, but to again be lauded amongst today’s best horror authors… well, bless my soul! Major congrats to @garnetonwinter.bsky.social and @badhandbooks.bsky.social for all the solid buttkicking.

Raising awareness for work eligible for award consideration this year. Be sure to give love to any (not just my) work you read and adored this year. #awardeligible #horror2025

From a recent Goodreads review of @garnetonwinter.bsky.social's SILK & SINEW: "Silk & Sinew is excellent. It’s the sort of anthology that convinces you themed collections can still surprise you if the theme is a living organism." Join the conversation. www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

Thank you to The Brimming Brain for this lovely review of SILK & SINEW! "There are often lessons to be learned in these tales, if not by the characters, than by the readers." ❤️ frankskornia.com/2025/09/07/5... #silkandsinewantho #badhandbooks

Thank you, Sandra for adding Silk & Sinew to this fabulous spooky-time read pile!

#Bookmail! REALLY looking forward to this read by the brilliant @yiizzy.bsky.social and John Yu Branscum!!! I’ve been super excited for this since it was announced. #starsthatpause #yiizzyyu #johnyubranscum #asianufoencounters

It's been awhile since my last newsletter and I figure I should fix that. Working on one and sending it out soon. If you want to hear about our newly adopted kittens (you know the hard hitting stuff) and I guess... writing things too... go do the subscribe thing. www.garnetonwinter.com/subscribe-1

Just saw an indie bookstore in Lowell, MA, has SILK & SINEW in stock (shoutout to La La Books). My dad's from Lowell. My grandfather's buried there. I like the idea that somehow, this book bearing my name is somewhere they at one time existed. What a strange and really neat idea.

This review just blew me away: "Silk & Sinew: Diaspora Dread Served Hot with a Splash of Ancestral Vinegar" 🔥🔥🔥 theblogwithoutaface.com/2025/10/10/s... Much appreciation to Mr. November! #silkandsinewantho #silkandsinew #badhandbooks #folkhorror #asiandiasporastories

"Use those English words. Use them now. Use them frequently. Use them loudly. Use them to defend the ones who sacrificed everything..."--Joanne Lee Molinaro, The Korean Vegan youtube.com/shorts/nU-Zk...

I only know that we must live a life. Must continue. We will have birthday parties for our children, we will laugh, and we will cry. We will curse and drink to the health of our friends.

"We must use our English words like swords." --Joanne Lee Molinaro, The Korean Vegan www.youtube.com/shorts/ka_CX...

When your kiddo insists on celebrating Chuseok and to honor their halmoni. ❤️ I am so thankful for these moments and days. How beautifully they carry their halmoni's name. How wonderful it is to see the dreams of the ancestors bloom into the brilliance of today. Happy Chuseok, friends.

How ironic (tragic) it is that Andor is a Disney series. "The imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks. It leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."-- Nemik's Manifesto www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQd4...

Kristy did such a good job describing this Story Hour. You can still watch!

If you're mixed Asian you know the exhaustion of ppl forever assessing how much you look one way or another. And non-AANHPI ppl just love becoming authorities on the matter and designating our lives and identities based on their perception. mixedasianmedia.com/dont-use-our...

ICYMI! #Stories that clutch at the natural world and our unnatural creations, of love and the corruption of love. What a wonderful time to read alongside the fabulous @anovelescape.bsky.social and with the lovely hosts at @storyhour.bsky.social, @pronouncedlahra.bsky.social and Daniel Marcus!

Looking forward to returning to Story Hour tonight alongside Kelsea Yu!!!

Saw a post from a fellow Korean American criticizing KAs for our lack of attunement to current Korean culture, for riding the coattails of K-pop/drama popularity. I need to say a few things about this bc this sentiment is everything that has isolated me from claiming my own lived experiences./1

This intro by Frances Lu Pai Ippolito makes my heart ache and my ears perk up to the cacophony of whispers I hear each night as I fall asleep. "...intergenerational trauma transfers through the omissions, like communication through the synaptic gaps between neurons." horror.org/an-introduct...
