My novelette, “We Begin Where Infinity Ends,” is out in the world today. I poured all my tenderness and childhood into this story, and I hope you find tenderness in it too✨ clarkesworldmagazine.com/ihezue_02_25/

"The Right Stuff" by Lynette S. Hoag, published in the Spacefunk! anthology critiques a culture poisoned by rampant racism. "The Right Stuff" offers a taste of something black people are so very rarely empowered to experience even to this day. Vindication. www.mvmediaatl.com/spacefunk

Side by side of my pre-time skip Akainu cosplay. I made some changes from when I wore it at #DragonCon last year so I needed a good full-body shot of the new version. #onepiece #blackcosplay #cosplay (📸: @nytevisions.bsky.social)

Tananarive & Steve are top shelf writers and, if you listen to their podcast, you know they’re thoughtful, insightful teachers as well. This upcoming class (virtual & in person) seems like a gift to any fiction writer.

New book! By me! Making Amends is out today--a novel in stories. Bet you can't read just one. This link has an excerpt: aqueductpress.blogspot.com/2025/01/nisi...

Octavia Butler couldn’t see the future. She saw what was happening in front of her and, in addition to studying the past, was able to imagine where it would lead. It’s important to tell the truth about her because mythologizing her is a disservice to her legacy.

It’s weird, isn’t it, that Octavia Butler predicted this. Almost beat for beat. I don’t mean to be woo. And prophecy is above my pay grade & outside my expertise. I’m just saying. 😳

I was talking to my mother yesterday about how I felt like I didn't have enough space to dream as a child/teen. In my youth, I had a huge imagination and I wanted to be an author. I dreamt of writing the most fantastical stories but I knew that the world didn't want that from me so I...didn’t.

Last year, I took a long-form story I'd written years ago about ghost hunting, edited it down and submitted it to a local comic anthology (it comes out in early March). My goal this year is to create a comic script from scratch just to see if I can. #comics #blackcomics
