April was a nice month:
1. Went to Spain for a workshop on nature writing + kid lit. (Learned a lot and fell in love with the architecture of Catalunya).
2. A teeny tiny cli-fi story of mine was published in the IIC Quarterly.

Thanks for the lovely words, Nico! 🐈🦕🦦
Had a great time over the weekend finishing "Biopeculiar" by @gigiganguly.bsky.social. #BookSky #Scifi
It features stories about sentient moss, a corvid detective, a dragon at the zoo, and a future fisherman who, no longer wanting to harm animals, ties a pebble to his line instead of a hook. 🌿

Rally enjoyed this week's @strangehorizons.bsky.social reviews. We kicked off with a rare appearance of the Two Views format, from Akankshya Abismruta and Areeb Ahmad - both making their SH debut - on @gigiganguly.bsky.social's Biopeculiar. I love these for how they help show the breadth of a book.

I think my favourite stories from BIOPECULIAR are 'Cocoon', which captures the banter of atel Bangali upper middle class bros w/ hilarious precision, & 'The Golden Bird', an allegory of living under the shackles of ethnonationalism (i.e. modern India), with a dragon at its heart.
Biopeculiar, published in 2024
I wrote these stories over the course of a year or two. A few story ideas came to me via podcasts/news articles. Two or three stories were born because of their titles. And then there were those that took form because of something someone said.
