Happy pub day to @maidervang.bsky.social! PRIMORDIAL is out today via @graywolfpress.bsky.social. When I saw draft1 I was staggered and astonished, and somehow, even though I knew the content of what I read, I saw her, the work, the struggle, and the saola anew and brilliantly. ✨✨✨✨✨

Y’all. Y’ALL. I cannot believe this. Thank you so much to @penfaulkner and huge congratulations to the nominees. I’m beyond honored to be on this list with you.

I know it’s not 2024 anymore but I just found out about this yesterday and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to be excited about it. Thank you, @chicagopubliclibrary for including DEVIL IS FINE on this incredible list.

Just remember, it takes time to build something good.

Honored and thrilled to see DEVIL IS FINE make this incredible list. Congratulations to all the nominees 🎉

Setting up camp here for a bit. Let's see how it goes...
