The 2025 Headline of the Year Nominees 🧵

My weird flash piece about an Italian reincarnated as a glob of old hair conditioner is out today in @thecoloredlens.bsky.social. It’s the first time my names appeared on a cover so I’m absolutely chuffed. Check it out here: www.amazon.com/Colored-Lens...

Dead chuffed to have a story in this excellent anthology. Haven't finished reading all the excellent writing in it yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
