Happy to see my novelette “We Begin Where Infinity Ends” published in @clarkesworldmagazine.com in this awesome roundup✨

Let's go!🌠 This magical anthology has stories by @renanbernardo.com @aijiang.bsky.social @somtoihezue.bsky.social @angelasylvaine.bsky.social, and more!! And my camp-following tailor of deconstruction ✨🪡

We've entered the final few days of our support campaign for the anthology, OF ENCHANTMENT, ENIGMA, AND THE INFINITE at Stars and Sabers Publishing! Help us reach our goal to fund this book, the writers, the editing, and the production and shipment of the book and perks: www.indiegogo.com/pr...

✨✨✨

I was just told that my launch event in Glasgow was going to be cancelled because I don't have *enough* tickets sold. Humiliating—not least because I worked my butt off for this book & went to other people's launches. If I could sell a few more today, maybe I could change their minds. Please.

Loved listening to M.L. talk about the brilliant and unique stories in this issue✨

Found this review of my novelette from @tarvolon.bsky.social✨ www.tarvolon.com/2025/02/20/t...

Thrilled to have a story forthcoming in @starsandsabers.bsky.social magic-themed anthology: Of Enchantment, Enigma, and the Infinite, alongside other brilliant writers✨🔮💫

WE WILL NOT BE COMING. No advertising can overcome the threat of being detained in private holding facilities for days. We don't want to vacation in jail.

This is the last day for the Locus Poll! Anyone can vote, and you are also able to write in or vote for other works you loved. Countess is a little scrappy novella from an Indie Canadian Press. If you enjoyed it, I'd appreciate your consideration. Either way, you've all been wonderful. 🖤🙏

IT IS OFFICIALLY RELEASE DAY FOR— 🍃🌬️🏰A Palace Near the Wind 🏰🌬️🍃 —a big thank you to everyone who made this book possible from start to finish 😭🤍 @titanbooks.bsky.social

Just read "We Begin Where Infinity Ends," another wonderful story from @somtoihezue.bsky.social It's about children saving fireflies... and navigating the tricky waters of friendship, rivalry, misunderstanding, and love. clarkesworldmagazine.com/ihezue_02_25/

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/

Led Zeppelin isn't one guy???

Came across this article today about the UK adopting the Zimbabwean mental health model of Friendship Benches. I wrote about Friendship Benches in my book Drinking from Graveyard Wells but gave it a magical realist (psychological horror?) spin haha www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Factor Four magazine Issue 46 is live and includes my story, “Twelve Things that Will Occur Immediately Following Your Invention of Teleportation.” Just a silly little feel-good story about a teleporting cat to help break up the doom-scrolling. Enjoy! factorfourmag.com/twelve-thing...

Look who I ran into✨ @shereereneethomas.bsky.social

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and equally excellent review A.C.✨

ICYMI I have a scifantasy out #TheNightward set in a matriarchal society, with a child queen on the run with her bodyguards after a coup, in a world that's not what they expect. If you've read it, thank you! Please consider leaving a review on Goodreads etc. www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

Not just a writer, or a tailor, but a secret third thing (a first time baker).

Writers on Writers.

Couldn't find an affordable tailor, so I got this instead. All I need now are the mice from Cinderella and wicked stepsisters.

Never publish with someone who talks like they’re doing you a HUGE favor by publishing you. You deserve better.

we have to find a way to win this because I refuse to accept a world in which the biggest assholes alive get everything they want

I think the Trump administration is legitimately evil.

“And River reached out, her hands going higher, higher, and River touched infinity.” Got my print copy✨ And you're welcome to read the novelette here: clarkesworldmagazine.com/ihezue_02_25/
