This woman is a violent criminal (like the actual kind not the kind she puts behind bars). She shouldn’t just resign she should self-deport. But who would want her?

Me too! I’ve had that book on my shelf for so many years and still love to pick it up and swizz through it!

A fun fact about this collection is that it contains my earliest published story. It also, out of my books, contains the most never before published stories.

Yessss!!!

Omg yes! I feel like there should be tree sexiness quadrants perhaps? I hadn’t even of the size of trees! Yes, lots of pollen. And shape! Fragrance. Location? Color - for instance, the Japanese maple is so brazen!

Off the top of my head I’d have to say the giant finger lime tree or the California honey mandarin! And the Buddha’s hand citron for the freaky folks!

I do indeed have many thoughts on this subject!!! 😂😂😂

The cover of Every Galaxy a Circle by Chloe N Clark. It is in shades of greens and pinks, depicting abstract planets flying through the night sky.

Interested in interviewing me about my upcoming book, Every Galaxy a Circle? I can talk about writing speculative fiction, why short stories are the best, monsters, baking, outer space, and more. Wow what an interviewer's dream!

NPR listing for SHE'S UNDER HERE of 2025 "Books We Love." Keywords: biography & memoir, book club ideas, family matters, nonfiction, rather short, seriously great writing In 1974, Karen Palmer, then 17, fell in love with Gil, a 36-year-old in the midst of a divorce; she writes that he seemed like the answer to “How do I escape my unhappy home?” Yet over 14 years of marriage, Gil tormented Palmer with his alcohol and drug binges, illegal schemes, and violence, jealousy and control that only escalated when she filed for divorce. In a bid for safety, Palmer remarried and fled with her daughters to Colorado, where they all assumed new identities. Told with cinematic, heart-thumping detail, She’s Under Here offers haunting meditations on how fear lingers long after we reach safe shores and on what disappearing cost Palmer’s family. — Kristen Martin, book critic and author of The Sun Won't Come Out Tomorrow: The Dark History of American Orphanhood

Honored that SHE'S UNDER HERE is on @npr.org's list of 2025 "Books We Love."

A letter from the newly elected president of Ireland, Catherine Connolly to mark Transgender Day of Remembrance. While the greeting and the signoff are an Irish, the English text reads “I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all in the transgender community, your families and friends, as you gather this evening for this year's Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today we pause to honour those whose lives have been cut short by horrific acts of violence or hatred. Their memory calls on each of us to challenge prejudice wherever it arises and to build a society rooted in respect and understanding. This year's gathering carries particular significance too as we mark the tenth anniversary of Ireland's Gender Recognition Act. That milestone stands as a testament to the courage and perseverance of transgender people and their allies who worked tirelessly for recognition, equality, and the simple affirmation of identity. Yet it also reminds us that the work of safeguarding dignity and ensuring genuine inclusion remains ongoing.”

In one of her first public actions as the newly elected Uachtarán na hÉireann (president of Ireland) Catherine Connolly has written a public letter of solidarity on Trans Remembrance Day. It is a very promising start.

Omg Karen this is exactly what I needed today. Also, have I told you (if I have it bears repeating) how AMAZING your book is?

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

I think something I’m learning at this stage of my writing career is that sometimes you are simply working with the wrong people. And those people might work really well with other people, and that might hurt! But everyone can survive and move on and do beautiful work in different partnerships.

I got the most lovely fan mail today!

(from an AI bot about a book I didn’t write, but whatever!)

Excellent writer, powerful book, good dude.

What's not to love?

October 31, 2025 Blood Moon Katherine Oung I have dreams of war but only dreams. Come morning my body turns, kinetic. Trying to catch up with the sky. Window left open; it’s rattling. Dogwood carcass, American robin. Chest split open by red light.

Happy Halloween, from us, and Katherine Oung, and the blood moon!!
