Next instalment in the Towards the Fjords series coming next week: if you enjoyed Joy (recently featured on the @escapepod.org podcast) then keep your eyes on interzone.digital/towards-the-...

‘Joy looked out, across the rolling sea. In the distance, she could just make out the hazy coastline of Europe. ‘ “Joy,” said Arthur. “We’re really going to leave.” ’ ✨ Out 11 March, a splendid new story by @dalesmithonline.com about the drone Arthur and its friend Joy, with art by Martin Hanford

Thrilled to see (hear!) Dale Smith’s fabulous ‘Joy’ reprinted in @escapepod.org.

I have been told I need to keep posting even though the book is already out, so linktr.ee/hachepueyo

‘The chemistry between the characters is great, the worldbuilding feels rich, and I very much liked the portrayal of Kato’s disability. The matriarchal empire […] is also a nice touch. I’d love to see Sui take on a longer work. She’s definitely a talent to watch.’ from @delagar.bsky.social’s review

I love how @coreyjwhite.com writes and have done since I first read REPO VIRTUAL, and I loved the first version of ‘Mirrored’ I accepted, and it was a real joy for me to see a writer as talented as Corey take that story and change it so confidently into something even more brilliant, and powerful ❤️‍🔥
