Feeling some feels because it was 5 years ago today that FF#1 debuted. I wasn't sure if it'd catch on or get read, but here we are, still going strong five years later.
Thanks to all of you who've picked up a copy or submitted work--it's a delight and privilege to read and share these stories!

Nebula Award nominations close this weekend, and BSFA Awards voting closes Friday.
Submitted for your approval: one horrible shapeshifting monster (and her girlfriend). If you enjoyed my little book, I'd be honored if you would consider it.

Based on a series of conversations last week, I'm surprised at how many people don't realize the extent of the damage that the current US administration is causing globally. Of course we are all primarily concerned with issues in front of us but this mess will take years to undo around the world.
