Sunday Times-bestselling author of Winter’s Orbit and Ocean’s Echo. Now down to two remaining houseplants.
Had a great time at Novacon, including seeing @emilytesh.net on the @octothorpecast.bsky.social liveshow! Renewed (and correct) push to get everyone to read Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashante Wilson.

It’s -4C and the garden centre said “even a novice can’t kill these plants” back in the halcyon days of October, but we’re really testing that now.

Authors in the UK! The govt is consulting on GenAI and copyright law. Its proposed model (everything free to train on unless the creator can prove on the work they forbid it - no provision for piracy, DRM cracks etc) is not great. Maybe tell them? ipoconsultations.citizenspace.com/ipo/consulta...

A reminder I have this sapphic investigation, inspired by xianxia.

Disaster queers must navigate politics, catch an eldritch space monster, and worst of all: learn to work together without killing each other...
And now back to it with more sapphic romance, a little more SFnal now: Aliette de Bodard's Navigational Entanglements. A lot packed into this novella. Crunchy worldbuilding/political manoeuvring, fantastic neurodivergence rep, two people with trouble opening up. 7/?

Belatedly hi everyone, I fixed my newsletter but I still intend to migrate it once I’m off deadline, so I’m sure I will find new and exciting ways to break it. Buttondown support is super helpful though.

I just feel if it’s this cold at least there should be some snow for my troubles*

Hi everyone, my newsletter's welcome message appears to be broken, sorry about that. I'm going to move to Buttondown when I next have an announcement (for a few reasons) but am on deadline so can't migrate right now. Email registration should still work so you will receive news when there is any!
