As a lifelong Star Trek fan, this is surreal. Listen to actual Wil Wheaton narrate my short story The God of Minor Troubles on Season 1 of his new story podcast!

It's an amazing feat of writing how @meganflchee.bsky.social can turn any mundane scenario into a hilarious and piercing critique of our society and capitalism, while also maintaining our empathy for the characters. And this story is no exception!

👾 The fabulous @elianeboey.bsky.social and @meganflchee.bsky.social are somehow even more fabulous in person. Wandering through Chinatown talking books, history and culture over dinner and desserts was 💯

👾 Sing Lit Station with its amazing bookish cocktails and great conversations!
L-R: Phong Quan, Megan Chee, me, and Yudhanjaya Wijeratne seated around a table with drinks on it. In the background are other folks at the party. We are indoors, and there’s a closed glass window on the white wall behind us. L-R: Ng Yi-Sheng, Yudhanjaya Wijeratne, a lovely lady whose name I didn’t catch in all the buzz of conversation, Phong Quan, Megan Chee, and I. We are seated around a table with drinks on it. In the background are other folks at the party, and shelves with various electronics. Eliane Boey and I in close-up. I’m wearing a green-patterned shirt, my hair is shoulder length, and I have my glasses on. Eliane is wearing a blue and purple patterned shirt. We’re both smiling. Desserts! Three bowls of dessert—one is a custard with red soya beans and lotus seeds, the other is jelly with mango cubes, and the third is a mango pudding with sago and mango chunks.

Such a great story! (Isn't it amazing how mundane things like audits and HR are everywhere??) Thanks for the tale, the laughs, and the perfect ending. @lightspeedmagazine.com And #MirronWillis did an incredible narration; if anyone knows him, please tell him so.

My new sci-fi story about stressed-out accountants in space is out now in Lightspeed Magazine! What's the appropriate valuation methodology for an alien artifact anyway?

Are wrongs ever fully righted? Do intentions matter? Can we redeem ourselves from collective sin?

My story in The Speculative Detective Agency is set in Singapore's central business district, about an unnaturally work-addicted team of financial analysts. Maybe they're just really passionate about spreadsheets... or maybe it has something to do with that cursed e-learning course...

I love a god gaining humility in "The God of Minor Troubles" by @meganflchee.bsky.social. Plus bonus badass old lady!
"The Hidden Heart of Brass Attending" by @cscott-author.bsky.social was so unexpectedly sweet. I loved the heartrending, soft underbelly under all of that cold, unyielding brass.
