For #AusWrites (& anyone who doesn't know me yet 😉 👋), I'm a queer, primary school teaching, ancient history & travel loving, ADHDistic Aussie author of epic YA Fantasy & poetry. My debut #RuarnonTrilogy is an atheist's reply to a queer, dark Narnia. I'm currently editing book 3.

Conflux pals! Only a couple of days left to vote in the Ditmars. I'm stoked to be nominated and would love your vote if you think I'm worthy of it. Stellar shortlists all around this year. You can vote online here: ditmars.sf.org.au/voting/

SHORT STORY ALERT! I'm delighted to have a story in the new upcoming CSFG anthology, Body of Work. Mine is a military-ish scifi story about childbirth (...no, it's not Alien) and I'm sure it'll be surrounded by some excellently bony, gory, squishy & otherwise embodied tales.

We’re halfway through the open submissions period for ‘Amplitudes: Stories of Queer and Trans Futurity’ (edited by yours-truly with @dianapho.bsky.social at Erewhon Books) — so consider this a reminder to send your stories. And we are actively still seeking stories in translation!!
