"I'll love you in every lifetime." Is that a promise, or a threat? This is my favorite story I've ever written. I'm honored to see it (and hear it!) in Escape Pod.

Excited to share Tasavvur's Spring 2026 issue. Huge shout-out to the writers, contributors, and team Tasavvur. Hope you all enjoy what we've put together.

‘Mother’s Hearth’ is out today in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social, a story about overcoming fear and building a life worth living. It’s also about the struggles of bringing a child into the world, written right before my own daughter was born. Hope that folks enjoy it. #fantasy #shortfiction #shortstory

Wow.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Eight original short stories published last year. All at wenwenwrites.wordpress.com/publications... but a favorite was in @trollbreathmag.bsky.social "Saltwater Mother" magazine.trollbreath.com/saltwater-mo...

as a new zealander, i’m also eligible for the sir julius vogel awards! 🥝🥹 anyone can nominate, so i’d be honoured if you’d consider “looking glass” (pubbed in saros sf #1 by @fusionfragment.bsky.social and edited by @meganjkerr.bsky.social) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... sarossf.com/issue-1/

Hugo noms are open. I have one story eligible. Please consider it if you enjoy pirates and/or necromancy and/or indian history and/or romance (Or even just read it. I think it's pretty good.)

Hugo noms are open, and I'd love to put forth "Be Kind and Rewind" for your consideration. One year ago, on Valentine's day, Wyngraf published a story about queer/trans love that I coauthored with my lovely partner @kaitlinschmidt4.bsky.social. I'm a hack, but she made our story brilliant anyway.

Make Art (1/4)

never tell me the odds (but do support the arts!)

Can't wait to read the issue Abhijeet puts together. He has excellent taste and is very kind, send him your words!
