Yay, @waynereewrites.com!

WORK-LIFE BALANCE is a prose/comics hybrid by myself and @charsiewspace.bsky.social. It's about a multinational corporation run by demons that's come to Singapore and displaced the local creatures and spirits. It won a couple of awards, including Book of the Year at the 2023 Singapore Book Awards.

Retailers, WORK-LIFE BALANCE—the award-winning prose/comics hybrid by myself and @charsiewspace.bsky.social—is available internationally again! To order copies (or more copies, if you're already supporting us), speak with your Ingram or Consortium sales rep now. An Edelweiss listing is coming soon.

We’re live! This is one of the stories closest to my heart—my queer time travel pirate musical set on Southeast Asian seas, now out in the world for everyone to listen to 🏴‍☠️

This was so much fun! Make sure you check out everything these amazing creators do 🙌

This Sunday, @charsiewspace.bsky.social and I'll be speaking at @britfantasysoc.bsky.social's Imaginarium II. Our panel is Opportunities in Speculative Fiction, at 2:30pm (GMT). It's ten quid to attend, so we hope you'll join us! britishfantasysociety.org/events-calen...

WORK-LIFE BALANCE will be available internationally (again!) in Jan 2026, now that our publisher's signed a new deal with Consortium Book Sales & Distribution. HOW ARE YOU FEELING? will be available in Aug 2026. More details here, if you run a shop and wanna stock my books: differenceengine.sg/intl/

Logging back in real quick to say that a great way to celebrate Halloween and spooky season in general is to admire @charsiewspace.bsky.social's amazing rendition of monsters (and enjoy also our neat wuxia/ western/ supernatural story). Get MR MEMPHIS now at charsiewspace.gumroad.com/l/xcvVQ

MR MEMPHIS is the first collaboration between myself and my WORK-LIFE BALANCE partner, @charsiewspace.bsky.social. At least one visiting artist to Singapore described it as "fucking awesome." It's going for just US$5, but it would be great if you paid more than that.

Baek Sehee, the author of I WANT TO DIE BUT I WANT TO EAT TTEOKBOKKI has passed away. She was 35. The Korean organ donation authority reports that Sehee saved five lives through her donation of her heart, lungs, liver, and both kidneys.

The market alone cannot sustain good literature, and no literature will survive the collapse of the biosphere, something thinkable within generations. Not many art discussions, awards, takes will help us escape the machine, but more of them should stick in the gears, and fewer should grease them.

Also, yesterday's derided pop culture is tomorrow's high culture

Your dumb comics (no matter how dumb) can help someone through a difficult time. I got a clear and moving reminder of that in Portland from a reader I met outside of the context of the con. It's that kind of town. Don't give up. Keep making your dumb comics!

mark ur calendars, next @outersloth.com game drops in October 🥳🔥 Battle Suit Aces by @team.trinketstudios.com goes so hard and I say this as someone who doesn't like mech themes lmfao (I KNOW I'M SORRY)

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

Our new project is live. A group of us former Polygon folks have come together to build something new: Rogue. We're a worker-owned, reader supported gaming site. You can read all about our goals and ideas on our (gorgeous) website. Please check us out and share us with your friends!

I art directed and did graphics on this game. I promise it's something special
