Korean-American horror in suburbia. CRACKS IN AN OCEAN OF GLASS coming Spring 2027!

Incredibly excited to announce that my debut science-fantasy novel THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF FALLING WORLDS will be published by Daphne Press (UK & Commonwealth), Bindery Books (US) and Bolinda (audio)! This Cyberpunk 2077 X Spirited Away book has been cooking in my brain for 6 long years!

To mark the beginning of the year, sharing something exciting I received in the post just before the holidays, all the way from Singapore, the printed Chinese edition of Loong's Tales, an anthology of #scifi stories about dragons, which features one of my translations. #sff

It's so good! I haven't finished it, but loved the episodes I devoured so far. And I love its connection to stories like Staying Behind. Love your taste!

I rarely weigh in on things outside of my writing bubble, but Jay's a great short spec fic reviewer w/high volume, consistent coverage that isn't in a mag/column. Extremely hard to find blogs like it. Def check out his work if you're curious about the latest in short SFF.

Delighted to join the folks celebrating their inclusion in Ellen Datlow's (@datlow.bsky.social) recommendation list for the Best Horror of the Year, #17! Thank you to @nsborwein.bsky.social and Jamal Hodge for giving my poems such wonderful homes.

Your body thinks as much as your mind <p><em>We often think of the mind as housed in the brain, with the body as its vehicle—a view shaped by Western philosophy’s emphasis on the mental over the physical. But Stanford psychologist Barbara...

Does thinking happen in the mind or the body? | https://iai.tv/articles/your-body-thinks-as-much-as-your-mind-auid-3282

Stanford psychology professor Barbara Tversky argues that movement, gesture, and orientation in space don’t just support thought; they shape its architecture.

Escape Pod, Cast of Wonders, and Podcastle: Review by Maria Haskins locusmag.com/review/...

Every southern Chinese remembers bitter herbal tea and the grandmas that made them drink it, which is why I'm glad Shanghai's author and illustrator Yan Gu's picture book out there in English. #books

My new story in @khoreo.bsky.social is now out for non-subscribers!

I’m thrilled and proud to have my story included in the newest issue of khoreo! This is a dream pub for me. I hope you’ll grab a copy and read all the wonderful stories inside 💕

Please check the CWs. Inspired by a tragic Thai spirit, my story of generational trauma was a tough one to write.

This looks so good! We're planning on going there this coming summer, and so this is giving me wonderful ideas too. Ty. (:
