Incredibly excited to announce that my story, The Salt and the Cure, will be coming to @lightspeedmagazine.com next February! Its about looking at the question of 'what is even god' and instead asking if you can love someone into god.

These are the "good and decent people" who didn't survive the Reagan presidency.

I don't know if I'm eligible for any awards, and frankly the idea of looking terrifies me. I'm just a little guy; there are so many fantastic writers out there. But hey, I wrote books, one was published last year (the green one - it's very good, or at least I think so.)

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

What's the relationship dynamic in the Murder Train book? Much as I love the stoic bodyguard who adores his prince but can't be with him dynamic, that didn't fit these two. The physical feelings came much faster than the emotional ones.
In their defence, they are idiots, your honour 😂

"All lesbians are TERFs" is propaganda designed to divide the strongest allies in the spectrum of queer identities - don't fall for it.

And he's done! 84k, 34 chapters, and one epilogue down, the Anti-Empire Murder Train book is done.
This started as a bit of a spite project, a pushback against pro-imperial structures in fantasy, but I utterly fell in love with the story, with the journey of Seth and Laurence.

Everyone should be disgusted by this. EHRC are saying that if you don't meet someone's standard of "woman" you can be openly harassed and forced out of public spaces. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social this is impossible to implement, and will cause harm to women both cis and trans.
