We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Same! The best part of Worldcon is meeting folks in person!

My Worldcon schedule! Come say hi!

As always at #Worldcon you can pitch me for @interstellarflight.bsky.social but pls be aware we are not taking a lot of books right now. Catching up from COVID brain fog and focusing on our pending books I’m behind on.

It’s important to learn to pitch tho so I’m always willing to hear one!

Upcoming events with many incredible writers! More info as each date nears.

Standing looking over my glasses at the poem, mouth turned downward as if to say, Words, what have you done?

I'm grateful for the beautiful trans people in my life. But solidarity is never just about "them." It's about all of us. Recognition of trans people is liberating for everyone. It opens space for all of us to think about our identities and relationships outside the sex we were assigned at birth.

The book cover is a black and white graphic of a mother patting her daughter's hair as she sits in her lap. The daughter is looking out the window at a red moon with blood coming from her mouth.

This book is maybe my most personal—almost memoir—and so I'm having some writer's remorse. But I want to do it justice. I put a lot into this, and I'm proud to have a book that features a pregnant and postpartum body. 5 days.
