Sturgeon award nomination?!?!?
I am so amazed and grateful to announce that my story “An Infestation of Blue” (Analog, Nov/Dec 2023) has been nominated for the Theodore Sturgeon award! The Sturgeon award was established in 1987 to recognize that most outstanding SF short story of the year, and has showcased work by some of my biggest writing heroes, including Ursula K. LeGuin, Ted Chiang, Nancy Kress, and Ken Liu.

| What makes this story so unsettling is the low-key and ordinary language the author uses throughout the entire book. It's like la-di-da, just another work day, oops I just talked to a demon. At no point is there a sense of melodrama or an attempt to ...more | |

Every page of this book is crammed with something uncomfortable or scary, and that's an achievement! Not only is this one totally terrifying, I found it to be really touching and sad and wise. Bela's childlike voice cuts through the crap and gets to ...more |

| We don't like to talk about the ways natural disasters are getting worse due to climate change or their painful impacts to our communities and families. Wildfires? Tornadoes? Hurricanes? They're eating America, and what they don't eat, they leave in ...more | |

My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, Vol. 2 (My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, #2)

10/10, perfect, no notes. Oh, a review? Crap. Well, this is a story about the ways we break each other and are broken by each other. It's about how horror movies work and don't work. It's about the darkness that exists in everyone and what happens when ...more |

| This book is amazing. I know I'm a little late to the party on it, but that doesn't mean I'm not completely smitten now that I've arrived. The characters are complex and interesting, with even the nastiest showing layers and the occasional glint of . ...more | |

| A dang funny book whose ending is surprisingly touching!! It is definitely a book written by a white man, so there are a few moments that are a little awkward, but I did find myself laughing almost every page. | |

“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”

“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”
