And there are some other, extraordinary authors on the SFWA reading list who deserve a shoutout!
@vivianhchou has "The Vanishing", which I loved!
I also enjoyed "Once Upon The Oakmont" by
@cornellwriter.bsky.social and would encourage you to check it out!

And finally, "Celeronian Natives", a story about immigration and assimilation. This was a difficult one to write, but still very rewarding. I hope poor Beulah finds her choices as rewarding. Thank you to the TDM team for the editing on this one. Celeronian Natives | The Dread Machine

I also encourage you to check out "I Promise I'll Visit, Ma", which is a slightly macabre story about the only two things that survive death: grief and brains. I Promise I'll Visit, Ma by Kanishk Tantia - SFWA Discussion Forums

If you have to pick one, please direct your attention to "I Hear The Starwhale Sing", which the lovely editors have also nominated for a #Pushcart!
It's a story about chosen ones, prophecies and, of course, a starwhale singing.

“But she saw you. She knew you.” It had been miraculous, a rare moment of lucidity from my mother. She had pointed directly at Annika, called her starbride. “She loved you.”
“She loved the starbride. I don’t know if she ever knew me.”

For those who may have missed it, my flash fiction pieces "As Long As You Want It" is now out on Apex Magazine's Patreon page. It was the winner of October's Flash Fiction Contest, themed "Botanist". It's a fun story about robots, trees, and burying someone inside a branch 🌴🤖
