I have a story out today! 'A Sleeper Ship is Like a Game of Go' is probably the most ambitious thing I've ever written, with future tense and a bit of slice of life. It’s about why we tell stories, why we play Go, and the role of AI in both of those.

I got the proof of my upcoming novelette w/ @strangehorizons.bsky.social and reader, I almost cried. @jolantru.bsky.social has been a huge advocate for this story of the beauty and brutality of motherhood, conformity, and growing up, set against the backdrop of a war-torn Neverland.

HUGE congrats to @acwise.bsky.social on the release of her third novel, BALLAD OF BONE ROAD. Even if I wasn't already on board because of her incredible writing and storytelling, she had me at ghosts, paranormal investigators, and a fae-queen movie starlet. Can't wait to read this!
BALLAD OF THE BONE ROAD by Sunburst Award-winning author @acwise.bsky.social is out today! This utterly original dark fantasy tale of faith and fanaticism, doomed love and desperate bargains is perfect for fans of Ava Reid. 💀

Do you have a book coming out this year and feel totally paralyzed by the idea of marketing it or prepping for launch? I got you (and a couple of openings in late Jan/ early Feb!)
Just booked a writing retreat, so, er, I'd love to fit in a couple more clients/workshops for fall to help offset the cost!
