It’s that day we celebrate romantic love. As you may know, I have a little SF romance book out now, but I’ve written about love before. So here’s a thread of stories that show both the sweetness and the challenges of being in love. 🩷🧵

If you’re reading for the Nebulas, Hugos, Auroras, Locus, Ignytes, or most SFF awards, I’d love it if you’d consider this short story. It’s now also on the BSFA long-list. This one means a lot to me so I hope you’ll give it a read.

I absolutely adore this cover 🩵💚 @carlydraws.bsky.social captured the spirit of “From the Mothers That Swam Before” so so perfectly!!

Just wanted to put this out there: if you’re reading and voting for awards, here's our incredible slate of stories (and essays 🙌) from this past year! We’re so proud of our authors and artists and we hope you consider their stellar work 🧡✨
