Hello all! My next book, BRIGHTER THAN SCALE, SWIFTER THAN FLAME, will be out very soon (May 6th)! I call it my 'lesbian dragons novella'. It's gotten a starred Library Journal review and it is a Indie Next AND LibraryReads pick for May. Right now B&N are having a preorder sale, until 25th April!
‘Brighter Than Scale, Swifter Than Flame’ by Neon Yang. SFF Pick of the Month. Taken from her homeland as a child, Yeva has powerful blood that makes her a useful tool for the empire. Yeva serves the Sun Emperor as his fiercest dragon slayer, a guildknight who moves through Mithrandon as something of a mystery to everyone else. Yeva rarely removes her armor and mask, preferring to interact with the world from beneath her layers of fabric and metal. When she is sent to the neighboring Quanbao in search of a dragon whom the emperor wants dead, she must face the past that she has been conditioned to forget. An oddity already, Yeva is even more so in a land that reveres dragons and is led by Lady Sookhee, whose own condition makes her sick at times and unable to hold court. Yeva must learn to reconnect with who she was before becoming the emperor’s weapon and discover not only the answers to Lady Sookhee’s mysteries but also her ruler’s true intentions. VERDICT Yang’s (The Genesis of Misery) emotion-laden novella will be a hit with fans of dragons and slow-burn romantasy. Readers of Aliette de Bodard and the “Singing Hills Cycle” series by Nghi Vo will especially enjoy Yang’s prose. Review by Kristi Chadwick

In good time Royal Mail brought me this today: ARC of an anthology I'm in. Stories of hopeful queer and trans futures. Out May next year. A reminder of community. That we are here, we make art, we put our stories into the world. Thank you @leemandelo.bsky.social for putting this one together.

Haircut days are always a good excuse to run around town and buy a few more plants I do not need

Cautiously getting used (?) to posting on social media again, I think? Pictures from the morning walk.
