"The Butcher's Heart" was out in @strangehorizons.bsky.social on November 5. I haven't been online much since then, but it's a story about wanting to have your heart ripped out of your chest and also a queer rom com, so... kinda appropriate?

Text reads: "The first time the witch sweeps into the butcher shop where Amel works, she brings a cold breeze with her. Her long brown hair is loose, swirling around her shoulders, and every part of her face looks sharper than the small silver knife Amel keeps sheathed on the chain around her neck—chin, cheekbones, even the slash of her thin mouth." - "The Butcher's Heart" (by) AnaMaria Curtis

@uncannymagazine.bsky.social had some amazing work out in 2023, and it's not too late to vote for your favorites in the reader's favorites poll! I had 2 stories in Uncanny this year, but that's just the tip of a wonderful iceberg!

Check it out!

I had a story out last month and didn't say much about it bc I had COVID. It's about disease and connection and doing what you can in terrible circumstances, and the lovely people at @uncannymagazine.bsky.social even interviewed me about it!

A quote is pasted on the bottom half: "Months before Guiding Light even settled into orbit around Teridabe, before they were faced with another planet landing, Stephani worried." - The Coffin Maker, AnaMaria Curtis
