Thanks again to @gen-dimova.bsky.social for letting me chair her launch for the amazing Foul Days! It was lovely to get to be part of the celebration of such a wonderful book that showcases the myths, folklore, and fantasy of Bulgaria. AND also has some of the best written characters ever!

I have come to shout about a book, and I am imploring you to listen: The Ragpicker by Joel Dane is stunningly lovely. You want something beautiful, something profoundly weird, something actually new? THIS ONE.

Given everything that went down with the Hugos, I thought I'd spend sometime uplifting voices. Who are some Chinese and Chinese diaspora SFF/H writers, from novels down to short fic, you recommend?

My thoughts on not really winning a Hugo.

(Apologies for a long summary of much-repeated detail, this is my record for myself as much as anybody else. Feel free to correct me if I got anything royally wrong.)

This is upsetting but not, at this point, surprising. In 2022, I had a loooooong conversation with Dave McCarty in the bar at Eastercon in which I, & other folks, tried to convince him to advise the Chengdu team to rescind the GOH invitation to Lukianenko.

One of my lifelong dreams is coming true: my debut novel Someone You Can Build A Nest In will also be an *audiobook*! When I was bedridden at thirteen and couldn't sit up, audiobooks saved my life. A huge part of why I write today. From Tantor Media. Preorders open in March.

Yes! One of the reference photos I sent the artist was the Tombul Mosque in Shumen, which is one of my favourite buildings ever.

If you're in the mood for a genderqueer, lush, weird retelling of the Tinderbox, and manipulative dragons, disability rep, clockwork animals, and ghost dogs are your jam, then you should buy Thief Mage Beggar Mage now.

I've said this before, and I feel the need to say it today. Women SF&F writers don’t take best-of lists, recommended-for-award-nominations and shortlists, these articles and review columns that erase us ‘personally’. We object because they damage us professionally.
