IT'S #CHOICESANTHOLOGY RELEASE DAY!!! To celebrate, I'm hosting an AMA here ALL DAY

Ask your questions about the anthology itself, reproductive rights, and writing/editing generally & I'll pop in every 30 minutes to share answers

And be sure to grab the book! books2read.com/u/3JYo9Q
Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa. The right side says: “As the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them. These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”

Happy Birth Day to this labour of blood and pain! #ChoicesAnthology edited by @diannalgunn.bsky.social is available now.

Come scream with us.

The foreword by @alexwoodroe.com consistently makes me tear up

I hope these stories speak to you, soothe you, enrage you, and sit with you in the dark 💜

I'm so excited to have a new story out in The Deadlands!! "For Those Who Stay Buried" is a dark fantasy about broken love, feral hope, and taking back your power, however imperfectly.

Also, there's a three-legged fox. 🦊

Spent my entire life deciphering the difference between horizontal and vertical by reminding myself that the "zontal" in horizontal kinda sounds like slanted, which is sideways, side to side...

I was today years old when I realized it has the word horizon in it. Yep, folks, I'm taking a bow...

The cover of Amanda Cecelia Lang’s book, “The Library of Broken Girls.” Cover has a white background with what appears to be a very full tree in purple, orange, and blue. Coming out of the tree are a woman, a wolf, and a dog.

PSYCHOPOMP Blurb 3 comes to us from @amandacecelia.bsky.social, author of the horror-filled and oh-so-fun Saturday Fright at the Movies!
Swirling stars streak the night sky in the background, colored in shades of purple. The cover of Psychopomp is overlaid on it with checkered yellow and green squares behind it. The cover of Psychopomp, art by Katerina Belikova, shows a woman named Young in a spacesuit/miner's suit. The book cover text reads: author of Liar, Dreamer, Thief Maria Dong "Science Fiction at its best" - Yume Kitasei, author of The Deep Sky and The Stardust Grail. PSYCHOPOMP. The text next to the book cover reads: "Psychopomp is brutal, intense, and breathtakingly introspective. Beautifully written and full of cosmic and emotional gravity...gritty, unforgettable."
