One of my favorites from an excellent collection. Read this poem, and then go get a copy of MEXICANS ON THE MOON. It’s good stuff.
Happy to announce that my poem "Perish and Live Forever," which first appeared in MEXICANS ON THE MOON, has just won the @sfpoetry.bsky.social 's Dwarf Star Award for poetry. This award is for best micro poem of 10 lines or less. Many thanks to members who voted. It is a big honor. Much love!

Aster's books are amazing: all over the map, wild and original, there's no one else writing romance like hers. I like Briarley best, but you should go pick yourself something.
Hear ye, hear ye! The annual Aster Glenn Gray birthday sale has begun! My birthday is not until July 2nd, and the books will remain on sale through July 4th.
Which books, you ask? This year I was feeling indecisive, so it's ALL of my books. I plan to raise prices after the sale, so buy now!

Every year I do a birthday sale, but this year I was struggling to decide which books to put on sale. So... they are all going on sale! (Except the two short stories because they are literally at the lowest price Amazon will allow.)

It occurs to me that I should also post links to the books that currently ARE available on Draft2Digital. (These are both ebook and paperback, by the way.)

Posted the previous thread too early. More links to my books whose paperback prices will soon rise on Amazon to match their Draft2Digital prices.

It has come to my attention that it is possible to keep books in KDP but also sell paperbacks on non-Amazon venues through Draft2Digital, so within the relatively near future I intend to publish my m/m and m/m/f paperbacks through Draft2Digital.

Submissions for our queer sword and sorcery anthology are open until January 15th. 8¢/word. <6000 words.
Very keen on tyrant-killing, intimate stakes, unknowable magic, tiny loincloths, sweaty muscles, big thighs.
Good to avoid: epic fantasy tropes.

What I hate about "Lore"-based fandom is that it's almost at odds with enjoying the stories. What's the power scale? What's the magic system? What's the backstory of the one watch captain we saw in one paragraph? A sense of background can lend depth, but at the end of the day, the wiki kills story.
What the author appears to mean is "Narnia does not lend itself to Wookieepedia-fication."
You know what, I take all my criticisms of Narnian worldbuilding back. If it annoys pedants online then make it LESS coherent, not more. Narnia is not Middle-earth! It's doing a different thing!
