I had one original story published in 2025 and I love it. It's "There Be Monsters" in Sunday Morning Transport. A big thanks to @franwilde.bsky.social and the team for publishing it. It's about mermaid murder thoughts!

Happy writing news: just signed a contract with Interzone Mag for my novelette, “The Five Languages of Grief,” an SF story at the intersection of imperialism and extraction.
It will come out in a future Interzone issue, so watch this space! Couldn’t be happier for it to have found a home here.

Talking about SF short fiction feels incomplete without mentioning magazines out there which are swimming against the tide (and AI slop) to keep venues alive for short stories. Consider subscribing or supporting if you are able!
