I had the privilege of reading both the short story that led to Sunbathers, and an early copy of the novella. It’s fabulous. Pick up a copy if you can! ☀️

It’s a goddamn shame that short speculative fiction is at its creative peak now, when its markets are in economic shambles. I wish 1920s-80s levels of SFF money were available now to finance beautiful and gay and provocative genre fic, instead of during the libertarian-punches-his-way-to-Mars era.

I love love love this trailer for the May Wilson documentary "Woo Who? May Wilson". Such a creative and interesting person. And she is so HONEST about her ex-husband's reaction when she started to paint at 42. She also talks about working to accept herself as an artist. It is so encouraging.
