  1. I have been sitting on this story for 10 years. I just need to put it out into the world; maybe doing that will compel me to finish it.

  2. The title is the warning. This Strange Horizons review places Wendy Waring’s novel squarely in our moment of wealth inequality -- when we must decide who our society serves, what we owe one another, and what kind of future we will build.

  9. For those of us regretfully missing WorldCon, today E.G. Condé read from his forthcoming novella, CACIQUES, and revealed the new cover. We're thrilled to work with artist Paulina Niño again to create another stunning cover for this follow-up to the award-winning SORDIDEZ.

  10. Much gratitude for Christine Higdon and her kind words for Wendy Waring's THE HUNGER OF THOSE WHO BUILT IT. "Waring brings us a suspenseful, intelligent, and hopeful tale about climate action and who reaps its benefits. This is a book for our times.”

    There's still time to get your pre-order in!

  11. A wonderful little interview dropped yesterday from the British Columbia Review. If you loved Rebecca Campbell's ARBOREALITY and THE OTHER SHORE, you'll love this insight into her writing and its connection to the Cowichan Valley, BC. Watch the video here: youtu.be/72xiymP8M4c

  14. Renan Bernardo gifted these lovely words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. "Wealthy people seem to be reading dystopias as rulebooks ... Instead, I'd say for people to read The Wildcraft Drones as a rulebook of how to live in community and find a healthy path to our future." Thanks, Renan!

  15. Shoutout to Cynthia Gómez for these wonderful words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. "These stories challenge us by showing us the logical conclusion of late-stage capitalism – spiraling natural disasters, a mushrooming police state – but they also show the endless promise of resistance and hope."

  22. #DailyDigest for 2025-04-28

    It's been a productive day!

    • Made progress on the #writing front. I've mapped out several upcoming scenes for my novel that still sits somewhere between #scifi and #speculativeFiction. Still on track to finish by the end of next month. (+1437 words)
    • Brainstormed some interesting #storytelling and #interactiveFiction ideas with my business partner.
    • Still can't shake the uncertainty about how my project and/or client landscape will look this year. The not-knowing part is definitely outside my comfort zone.

    EDIT:

    • A small update on #bibisco: I only used it to keep track of my word count. The actual writing is done in #obsidian. The editor just feels sooooo much nicer than the clunky thing #bibisco offers.
  23. This morning's email from #WorldCon2023 unsurprisingly had quite a few Chinese characters, which some email filters mark as spam. Maybe we should all whitelist chengduworldcon.com?

  24. Continuing on the theme of other worlds, I highly recommend Franz Schubert's Erlkönig, which draws on a poem of the same name by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

    This version includes an English translation and an animation of the action: youtube.com/watch?v=JS91p-vmSf

    [CW: the song references a child's death]
