Post-doc currently tricking rocks into thinking they're on Enceladus. I also like to write speculative fiction in my spare time.

The @gsfwc.bsky.social are a gallus lot. The Gallus anthology couldn't be possible without everyone involved - writers supporting writers - as friends & champions. Gallus is a collection of 25 stories, some we've seen at their rawest before reaching this stage, working together for our best, for you

The Girl Who Cried is about kelpies, except it's really about going back to visit your old teen summer camp, except it's really about memory and nostalgia and old wounds that cannot heal, and I can't wait for people to read it when Gallus launches!

So I'm actually in this. First short story ever in print. Don't let that put you off from getting a copy though. It's also full of fantastic stories from genuinely excellent writers.

Oh, yeah, I shoulda maybe said that my story in this is one of the tales from my Big Book of the Matter of Damnonia, so if you want a wee sample of my collie dug burrowings into Welsh and Irish lore, of the Not So Sekrit Hauf Troofs unearthed to be retold by a mad radge basturt bard... get in there.

I am delighted to learn what Gallus means in Scots. It is absolutely not what it means in Latin, but the two go together very well.

Stars #awaken in indigo velvet, cloudless and far from the fire of city lights. Bare skin grounded in cooling grass and you tangle your fingers through mine, raising our hands to trace the line of Orion's belt. You see a fearless hunter. I count in the comfort of threes.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

My favorite books defy easy categorization because the authors themselves refused to limit their imagination or ambition to fit some pre-established genre. I love writing that can't be easily summed up. Stories that sound bonkers until you read them & see the beautiful logic of a creative mind.

There's a few bits in an urban fantasy novella that I'm letting marinate before I edit it that are my favourite. There are exchanges between one of the protaganists (a reaper who is good at bending rules) and some deities (who take themselves way too seriously) which wind up with some goofy lines.

I wish they had done more episodes with Guinan and Q. At the same time, kudos to the show for giving us this tidbit of an ancient rivalry/enmity without going into some big, longwinded explanation.
