HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME, LADZ, AS A PUBLISHED AUTHOR

My gift to you is a summary of how I earned out ICE UPON A PIER, my debut, and some insights about social media and marketing that don't require 4-figures, much less 5-figures, of start-up costs

Check out Charles Payseur’s recommendations: “Half Sick of Shadows” by Elle Engel from Strange Horizons and “Emotional Resonance” by V.M. Ayala from Escape Pod locusmag.com/2024/04/charle…

We have ONE DAY LEFT before our fundraiser ends and we're sadly nowhere near where we need to be to keep doing what we do every year. So here's our clarion call as the clock ticks:

Charles Payseur Reviews Short Fiction: Cast of Wonders, Escape Pod, Strange Horizons and Baffling locusmag.com/2024/04/charle…

I worked my whole life to get to this day. My monster has escaped into the world. SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN is out now!

Shesheshen is a shapeshifting monster with a big problem: she's fallen for a human. The problem? That human is hunting her.

Thank you Charles Payseur for this insightful review!

You can read the full story of why being full of worms is actually awesome, at Strange Horizons:

My worm doppelgänger story, Maladaptive Camouflage, is recommended by Locus Magazine!!

This story has 1000% of your daily recommended worms, and explores why passing kinda sucks, in a post-invasion-of-the-body-snatchers world.

We are pleased to announce the arrival of Baffling Issue #15 🪶

Please enjoy the wonderful cover by mimimar🌸💜comms open! and stories from Brie Atienza Celia Daniels catherine yu Dr. Tessa Fisher (tessafisher.bsky.social) Sam J. Miller³ n-word albee 🇵🇸 & Sydney Sackett.
