Hello all! My next book, BRIGHTER THAN SCALE, SWIFTER THAN FLAME, will be out very soon (May 6th)! I call it my 'lesbian dragons novella'. It's gotten a starred Library Journal review and it is a Indie Next AND LibraryReads pick for May. Right now B&N are having a preorder sale, until 25th April!

There’s nothing like attending Worldcon in-person as team @khoreo.bsky.social's representative, as one of the actual Finalists for Best Semiprozine, only for our masthead to be entirely skipped over, while everyone else’s names and mastheads were read in full, exactly as it was on the program sheet.
Had a great time at Worldcon meeting new and old faces! Thank you @emelkrishnan.bsky.social for letting me be your plus one! Glad we could trauma bond over our masthead being skipped again. I look forward to next year!
