Yes! ❤️ absolutely. I also wanted to explore the purpose of suffering, in a religious sense (religion has always intrigued me!) And for sure wanted to, somehow, in some small way, find hope out of/in abjection. There was no way the story was gonna end any other way.

Last night I was honored to host the 59th annual Nebula Awards. Longer post to come, but for now: Thank you to everyone who made that show happen. The team is a well-oiled machine of hypercompetence. They deserve every bit as much online enthusiasm as the award winners. Thank you, Team Nebulas ❤️🙏

Hi! I am going to become PodCast goth again! If anyone would like to talk about Countess my Goth Space Opera Anticolonial Revenge novella in the Fall, or even before hand, let me know. I got lots of spacey goth things to say! Also, just because I will never be over it. This blurb.

SF Community: what are some recent (as in last five years) or upcoming releases in the Space Opera genre? I'm surprised we're not seeing more of them, given the current popularity of Dune, etc. (maybe publishing needs a few more years to catch up with the zeitgeist, idk...)

maybe my only writing "rule": don't sleep on semi-pro short fic mags, don't turn your nose up at them, don't miss out. they're sharp markets w/specific visions taking big swings. my most reprinted stories and longtime readers are from semi-pro. never underestimate an attuned audience, man.
