My new story 'Life According to Tabeeb' is out now in 'Learning to Be Human' from Flame Tree Press Team.

To care for humans, CAMS-45 must first learn what it means to be human: exploitation but also community, and eventually revolution.

It's time for this year's eligibility lists update! This year, I managed five stories and a few firsts!

Thank you so much for the annual roundup A.C. Wise & Cat Rambo.

Thrilled to be part of another Flame Tree Press Team anthology and share a TOC with so many writers I admire and respect.

I have a new story out in Translunar Travelers Lounge, 'Redemption for the Unseen'

Balancing desire with responsibility, commitment to found family with lust for the alluring stranger has never been easy. It's so much harder when you're dead!

Reeling from the year... Les Chimères: An Ode by Molly Tanzer was in F&SF last year, Sept/Oct 2022

Rockhoppers by Ramez Yoakeim might be too on the 'hard' side for space opera but it struck me. Starship Sofa, January 2023: starshipsofa.com/blog/2023/01/2…

There's a new issue of Utopia Science Fiction Magazine available now, including my story 'Earl Grey & Some Glue'.

Come for the robots, stay for the sim-tea!

I'm very excited to announce that 'Earl Grey and Some Glue' will be coming soon to Utopia Science Fiction Magazine.

It's a personal story about memory, loss, grief, and the growing disconnect between technological progress and the human condition.

Returning to Translunar Travelers Lounge with a new story, thanks to Aimee Ogden (Updates Only) & Bennett North.

The afterlife is nothing like you imagined, and much, much more! Nude selfies, gilded antiques, and white truffles. Watch your pennies!

Coming Soon.

I've been procrastinating for a while now but finally managed to get my new website put together. If you didn't care much for my old plain one (you know who you are!) hopefully the new one will satisfy that craving for color!

Admittedly, my writing process included here is more of a confession!

I'm still a bit surprised (and quite grateful) to find my name included alongside so many writers I admire.

Taher & Laith is little spooky, a little sexy, and a little personal. You'll find it at the very end of a stellar TOC in Hidden Realms from Flame Tree Press Team. Available Now!

This #AwardsEligibility thread is my shortest one yet!

'Triangles are Forever' in @TreeAndStoneMag Queer As F* #2 finds Keziah caught between endangering her family by clinging to them, or abandoning them to keep them safe. Her family has other ideas!

I'm delighted 'Triangles are Forever' is out in the world today from @TreeAndStoneMag. Thank you @kevinthedruid for the opportunity!

tree-and-stone.com/qaf-issue-2/tr…

Among the amazing stories in this issue is one of mine! Rest assured 'Triangles are Forever' has nothing to do with geometry (though I wouldn't haven been mad if it did!)

I'm so excited to announce 'Rise Again' will be appearing in a future issue of @Kaleidotrope thanks to @unrealfred. It has rocketships, exploding fungus, and continuous sheet perforated paper! What more could you want? (no, seriously, make me a list) #amwriting scifi #amwriting

I can finally share this awesome news! My little gay romance with a twist, Taher & Laith, found a home in Hidden Realms from Flame Tree Press Team! Can't wait for y'all to read it!
