“The collection succeeds by following a hallmark of good journalism: show the big picture through smaller pictures.” Check out this incredible, early review of On Fire and Under Water by @hlessig.bsky.social.

Woa. My story in the ON FIRE AND UNDER WATER anthology from @rhppress.bsky.social and edited by @curtisippolito.bsky.social got a shout out today. Much appreciated!!!

Book mail! Of my own book? Wait, what? Yeah, when your book is orphaned and you have no copies but then you go online to buy another book and find yours also, you grab it.

Look at this blurb from the great @jordanharper.bsky.social! One week. It’s coming at you with all its righteous anger, fury, and contempt in ONE WEEK.
