I’m reading @carolrohspaulding.bsky.social’s novel, Helen Button, and I have to say it’s timely reading about WWII and the French Resistance rn, and the parallels it draws with our current time.

Thanks to the New Ohio Review for asking me to write about dance in poetry. The other essays in the special feature "Dance as Joy and Resistance" are wonderful! A peek at the first page of "The Dancing." Support our literary magazines! Order a copy! newohioreview.org/tag/nor-35/

I received two story rejections yesterday. I celebrated by submitting them elsewhere, along with two more. Doing the thing.

Today I revised a novelette that had racked up a few rejections, and sent off the newly polished version into the wild. Do well, my child!

My job used to include collecting data on convicted sex offenders and identifying their risk factors. I can only imagine how people not used to reading these accounts are feeling about the recent Vulture article about N.G. Please, practice self-care and talk to someone if you need to.

I tell you, an email from someone who’s a physicist in theoretical quantum mechanics who is also a science fiction fan sure made my morning.

I’m almost done listening to @aptshadow.bsky.social read his novel, Service Model, and wow what a ride it’s been. A quirky buddy adventure wrapped inside a freaking horrid future, with humor and heart.

My 2024 #poem "Gorgoneion" qualifies for the short-form Rhysling Award at @sfpoetry.bsky.social. Find it in Katabatic Circus Vol. 1 or in the #SFPA members' drive. A nomination would be lovely! #vote #rhysling #rhyslingaward #sfpoetry #canadianpoet #awardconsideration @angrygablepress.bsky.social
