Nothing to be proud of. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

All of my stories are REALLY about what people will do for power and what they do once they get it (nothing good) "Oh but what if you wrote a story where --" No I'm only interested in the 'nothing good,' thanks :)

psst someone might have just reopened for queries for the first time in 2026, at long last 👀

Anyway, would also love if people pre-ordered WICKHILLS -- a weird city (??) novel in which a spy, secretary, archivist, vampire, thief, and scientist have to save one of the last six cities in the world! "From what?" Oh you'll see :) us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

so this is a thing! Stoked to be on a list with my longtime steampunk bestie @dianapho.bsky.social in my first Hugo nomination!

Honestly this is my dream, but as somebody with chronic impostor syndrome I still can't quite believe it. AUTOMATIC NOODLE is a finalist for the Hugo, the Locus, and the Nebula awards. Thank you so much to everyone who voted. I am flustered but very happy!!

Woah, that's amazing. Thank you, everyone, for backing the story for an award. That... means a lot. I fought Long Covid hard to write it, just finishing it was a huge personal win. To publish it another. This is the cherry on top. Thanks for any who voted, and wow.

Congratulations to our amazing Clarion West alumni who are finalists for @locusmag.bsky.social Awards, plus too many instructors to name.
