And I was thrilled to receive one of them. Can't wait to see my words in Kaleidotrope!

I read a lot of stuff by trans people, sometimes because I seek them out, but often just because they do things like show up in Apex Magazine (where I'm a first reader) or win the World Fantasy Award "Unsettled Nature" by @jordankurella.com "The Yoke of Stars" by @rblemberg.bsky.social

I'm pleased to announce that my story "His Goose Is Cooked" was a finalist for the Foofs Award!!

Congrats Louis!!
