I'm mostly a journalist but my not-so-secret dream is to be a real fiction writer. So when @annaleen.bsky.social asked me to write something for a collection full of some of my all time heroes I was shocked and so, SO honored. You can now get that book (ideally from your local indie bookstore)!!!

So this anthology is out in the world now and I have a short story in it — "Perséfoni in the City." Put this on your holiday shopping list because many of these stories and essays are truly amazing. (I'm currently obsessed with Laia Asieo Odo's devastatingly moving "Where Memory Meets the Sea.")
WE WILL RISE AGAIN, an anthology of speculative fiction, essays, & interviews about activism co-edited by @drkarenlord.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social & yours truly, comes out TOMORROW which means today is the last day you can show the love by pre-ordering! www.simonandschuster.com/books/We-Wil...
