Reminding you that you can read this amazing story from WE WILL RISE AGAIN …

The Mighty Slinger by anthology co-editor @drkarenlord.bsky.social and @tobiasbuckell.bsky.social is a novelette with enough story for a novel. It's about the power of music, collective action, and how small actions can achieve great acts of resistance. It's a reprint, and you can read it here!

I'm honored to have won the 2025 Sushila Devi Award for LOKA! 🙏 Very grateful to the Bhopal Literature & Art Festival and Shri Ratanlal Foundation for the award, and to the jurors for their kind words. 💙 to the team at Hachette India and to Cameron McClure for supporting the book! #sciencefiction

"a thought-provoking, polyphonic collage that manages to engage authentically with nuanced issues while also leaving the reader feeling optimistic and empowered." (also love the way they sliced the cover so you read "says hope" at the top)

Excited that our hopeful anthology about resistance is on this amazing list!

ebooks are the best last-minute gifts (maybe the best gifts?) and for the person on your list who is involved in activism, loves speculative fiction, or just needs a little hope at this point in the year (and really, who amongst us doesn't), try the acclaimed anthology WE WILL RISE AGAIN:

Having read "Where Memory Meets the Sea" by the pseudonymous Laia Asieo Odo, I'm wondering if this anthology was made especially for me. Me and my sieve of a memory. Me who has left my old country, never intending to return. Yeah, this one stabbed me in the heart.

Have started reading We Will Rise Again, edited by @annaleen.bsky.social, @drkarenlord.bsky.social, and @older.bsky.social. Three pieces and one forward in, I already know: this is the good shit. It feels urgent, needed, timely.

I discovered this book via @annaleen, but it went to my mom’s house who started reading the essays, found it “pretty deep” and “after reading a few…felt overwhelmingly emotional”, crying, missing her husband, and sent me a message saying “what a book, written […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

@older.bsky.social just a note to say THANK YOU for posting the last-minute link, which allowed me to spontaneously avoid obligations and fangirl out at you, @annaleen.bsky.social, and @drkarenlord.bsky.social. Wonderful stuff.

I'm mostly a journalist but my not-so-secret dream is to be a real fiction writer. So when @annaleen.bsky.social asked me to write something for a collection full of some of my all time heroes I was shocked and so, SO honored. You can now get that book (ideally from your local indie bookstore)!!!

So this anthology is out in the world now and I have a short story in it — "Perséfoni in the City." Put this on your holiday shopping list because many of these stories and essays are truly amazing. (I'm currently obsessed with Laia Asieo Odo's devastatingly moving "Where Memory Meets the Sea.")
