Includes a story by me! A secondary world fantasy that is one of the most personal I have ever written. “Markets of the Otherworld” is about exactly what it says, and oh, so much existential angst.

How strange. I was just reading about Emperor Han Wudi's quest for immortality (drinking morning dew mixed with powdered jade), and then this lovely poem popped up on my feed.

Yesterday was cover-reveal day on Insta, and today is for X! There's the sunshine-iest cover that ever did grace a book about a necromancer. It's full of little jokes and secrets about the book! I'm excited to send it out into the world, and in SUCH Kate Forrester wrapping!

Get ready to have your hearts torn out of your chests! Natalia Theodoridou's first book just announced! I have read the WiP of this one and let me tell you that he has put all his mastery of language and rendering of emotion here. He didn't hold back! 🔥🔥🔥

My review of Sofia Samatar's latest newest novella: a strange, genre-defying tale: science fiction, mysticism, fable, and campus novel of academic politics. Mesmerizing, enigimatic, and haunting.
