(She/Her) I'm a speculative poet & reader. Poems published in Strange Horizons, Kaleidotrope & Star*Line. My superhero novel Rock Star is out now.
Story rejection! Ah, ‘tis sad but only for a moment; part of rejection is the joy that maybe you’ll get ‘em next time 😉 Remember, writers!! Rejection means you’ve submitted work and submitting work means you’re writing and writing means you’re working! And all of those are good things 💜
Today's writing chore involved setting up my 2024 space opera book Lani Vs. The Alien Princes over at D2D for publication next week. I took it out of KDP Select, so it's time to expand across the galaxy.

RIP Walter Koenig! I enjoyed his roles as Chekhov and Bester.
Went in search of the Dunkin spider donut with the cute huge eyes and the place nearby had just a single cyclops one 😂

Everything will be okay, soon. A corkscrew of black moons, your sigh. Your sigh-animal laying its eggs. Your eye the eye of burrowing. The planet that lived in my chest didn’t know what was coming.

Hear A Contest in Dark Things for SFPA's Halloween reading Stygian Lepus published this poem in January, but the work first came to me over a decade ago, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. I'm a fan of Leslie Marmon Silko from whom the title (and concept) are derived. I was delighted that Miguel found this one the most creepy of the set I offered him. Consider this a gift (like smallpox blankets). Warning: it might be contagious.

This week I pulled a 2nd draft out of a story from a few years ago. I cut out something different that I liked quite a bit. Also wrote a poem & revised others, got to the end of the MS 5 edit, and now I need to bake! Thank you, readers, you're lovely 😍
I’m reading poetry subs for Strange Horizons this month and we’ve received very few. I think this may be a record low for me, so if you’ve been meaning to submit, please do, soon.
We went to the library's book sale yesterday. Got a haul, including 3 Aubrey-Maturin books & a Malazan novel.
It's the 7-year anniversary of Book Moon this month! Last winter we were lucky enough to be able to buy the building, which is key to the survival of any independent bookstore. Now we're hoping to pay off some of our loan with an Indiegogo campaign offering 2 new T-shirts, a tea towel, & much more.

We had a chance to buy the building our bookstore is in and we were on it faster than you can say there's a monster at the end of this book!

I watched a YT Short about the Battle of Trafalgar last night with a family member & it took a great deal of effort not to tell them 90,000 things about Admiral Nelson, Lady Hamilton and all the Aubrey-Maturin things.
