The short story finalists for the Hugo awards are all written by women. Small ray of sunshine is this fucking dystopian mess of an era.

trying really hard not to lose sight of everything as the world eats itself.

Be aware, but not too aware. Care about geopolitics, but don't be consumed. Write fiction, but not so that your head is in the sand. Be positive, but not toxic positive. Don't be negative, but don't be dumb ... me: oh yay, meteor gonna take us out in 7 years. (checks watch).

Heartfelt. Your story got under my skin because of the truth of it!

I loved this story.

holy s***!

I appreciate the magic of Bannister Press so much!

Ilan O'Driscoll did it (pencils, pastels and ink). SO talented!

Thank you for appreciating this anthology as much as you do. I think Other is very special, and all the stories are just brilliant. And also thank you for your kind words about The Glass Mountain! Kind of proud of that one ;)

homeschooled kid finally gets in a high school yearbook :P Happy to announce my daughter, Ilan, is in the upcoming Fear Street Prom Queen for Netflix bsky.app/profile/netf...

My story The Glass Mountain appears in this gorgeous 2024 international anthology. The rest of the stories are so strong, I'm incredibly proud to be part of it. Available on Amazon.

also proud of the two short stories I contributed in this anthology. 1 about weird zombies with mirrored eyes who might be more clever than we think, and the other about a feral mermaid who chooses herself.

in 2022 I was fortunate enough to have my short story State vs Hades published in the 50th edition of Luna Station Quarterly. Very proud of that story, though it do be tending to ruffle some traditional feathers :P
It was well reviewed, however.

2024 was creatively fulfilling for me, and I'm pretty blessed. My YA novel, FORGOTTEN was published in February, and has since been optioned for television. It's the story of Wendy six years after leaving Neverland, and her journey of self discovery, as well as reconnection. The cover on the front of the book depicts Gwendolyn Deering (Wendy) as an eighteen year old girl in 1912, with the full moon behind her, and a tall ship in the background.

A Wrinkle in Time, The Little White Horse, the Narnia Chronicles, and Peter Pan. My debut novel, Forgotten (now optioned for tv), is an imagining of the events after Neverland, so that story's stuck with me solidly all my life.

agreed! Trying to get it to a wider audience. It deserves it.

Thank you, Rebekah. Loved yours too. This anthology is beautiful.

These are both excellent stories.

it's awesome.

I loved this one!
