  1. Chills, Thrills and Kills
    Oct 2, 2026 · original
    The Chills, Thrills and Kills book bundle runs for the month of October. It’s a chonky bundle, over 80 books of varying size for $69 (nice). My ghost story, “Always an After,” is included. Check it out if you’re in the mood for something creepy. Cover photograph by Valeriia Neganova.
  2. FediZineFest!
    Sep 19, 2026 · original
    This year, I’m participating in FediZineFest , a project for sharing zines. As implied by the “Fedi” part, it’s based in the Fediverse—a network of social media servers (platforms like Mastodon, Frendica, PixelFed, BookWyrm, Ghost, and WordPress). But the main thing is the zines. I’m one of 25 people creating print and/or digital zines. Project backers can sign up to buy zine bundles . Zines will be delivered to backers in March 2027. So why not give Future You a present?
  3. A quick note for SFWAns
    Sep 18, 2026 · original
    The poor Recommended Reading List has been through a lot. So have the folks working behind the scenes duct-taping code together. (I honestly don’t like the new setup, but I have a lot of respect for the effort that went into it and all the other website fixes.) But it’s more-or-less up, with some functionality for linking and downloading and whatnot. In the past, I’ve done a little happy dance when someone put one of my stories on the list. Since the nature of the list has changed/expanded and it’s become a more public-facing promotional tool, I decided to use it as a promotional tool and added this year’s publications. Any interested members of SFWA can find my furry noir short story “Femme Prédatrice” and my space opera novel Corners of the Deep Dark . Enjoy! Cover photo: Morica Pham. Cover art by Addison Smith.
  4. Corners of the Deep Dark is officially released!
    Sep 8, 2026 · original
    It’s September 8th, the book birthday of Corners of the Deep Dark ! I will make many future posts about the book—general promotion, sales, sequels, and similar chatter—but for now I will simply sit here, happy in the knowledge that the book exists as files and objects that please me. And I will close with the phrase uttered by authors throughout the ages: Buy my book! Cover art by Addison Smith.
  5. Preorders are rolling out
    Aug 26, 2026 · original
    The ebook edition of Corners of the Deep Dark is popping up at various retailers. You can preorder from Amazon and Kobo , with more retailers to come. If you’re not in the US, the book is also on your localized ‘zon or Kobo store. All possible regional/national distribution ticky boxes have been ticked. The print edition isn’t up for preorder yet—proofing takes longer—but it will also start rolling out soon. Cover art by Addison Smith. And to bring politics into a “buy my book” post: let’s just share a silent howl over US trade policy, both in general and in the most recent “talks” with Canada. It’s ridiculous; and if the trade war moves you to boycott US products, including indie authors, I get it. I’m doing my best to use printers and distributors with varied regional presence, and retail outlets that reach as many countries as possible.
  6. Cover reveal: Corners of the Deep Dark
    Aug 24, 2026 · original
    Newsletter subscribers have already seen this, but now everyone can gaze upon the cover for Corners of the Deep Dark . Addison Smith was great to work with and did a fantastic job. I heartily recommend him for all your human cover design needs. (Solidarity with visual artists matters and we are not doing AI slop covers here.) You’ll be able to read my little space opera soon, but for now just join me in basking in the prettiness of the packaging. Cover art by Addison Smith.
  7. Things I enjoyed in 2026 (Part 4)
    Aug 19, 2026 · original
    Flash “The Age of Cancer” by Vajra Chandrasekera (2026): Riffing on a classic and playing a bit with formatting. Short Stories “The Necromancer’s One Weakness” by R. Lochlann (2026): I felt slightly guilty about how much I enjoyed this one, since my spouse is a big fan of playing bards in D&D. But only slightly. “Middle Song” by Thomas Ha (2026): Control and memory, occupation and resistance. Novellas The Blossoming of the Big Tree by Dilman Dila (2026): Fun solarpunk with an unevenly distributed future that wisely mixes dystopic elements into its utopia. (Because yes, if you have a loose federation that works based on public discussion and consensus, you’re also going to have assholes and social pressure and dogpiling and physical threats. Some of these elements are just part of the worldbuilding, some are addressed as plot/thematic points.) Knowing that the author also makes short film
  8. Blurb for the novel
    Aug 11, 2026 · original
    Hey, want to know what someone besides me thinks of the forthcoming book? Corners of the Deep Dark ‘s tenacious antiheroes pulled me along on a brainy puzzle journey that left me wanting to read their next adventure. That blurb comes courtesy of Victoria Janssen and is much appreciated because a) blurbs are nice and b) I did not have my shit together to ask for blurbs in a remotely timely fashion, but she gave me one anyway. (She was also a late-stage beta reader and yes, I did incorporate some changes she suggested.) You should definitely check out her work. I really enjoyed A Place of Refuge , a trio of novellas set in a plausible utopia, as seen from the perspective of three ex-guerillas unable to overthrow their own fascist government. (There’s also a prequel from their guerilla days, a single operation that also does some character work.) And if you’re in the mood for something spic
  9. Sample chapter from the novel
    Aug 4, 2026 · original
    Corners of the Deep Dark is a space opera that drops on September 8th. You can get the first chapter as a free download from this site or the new Payhip store. Image credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, K. Noll, J. Kastner, M. Zamani (ESA/Webb); NGC 6302 detail.
  10. Pirate site
    Jul 30, 2026 · original
    Today I and a bunch of other authors learned that Science Fiction Weekly has reprinted stories from Daily Science Fiction . My story “Kill Switch” is among those reprinted without permission. I have already emailed nastygrams and DMCA takedown notices, and I know I am not alone. Science Fiction Weekly describes itself thusly: Daily Science Fiction is deeply missed, but that’s where the truth of this statement ends. Authors have not been asked for consent to reprint their works. And if Science Fiction Weekly aspires to be a new Daily Science Fiction , publishing “new work on a regular cadence,” then they need to start paying professional rates for their fiction. This is also an outright lie: It’s obvious that Science Fiction Weekly simply scraped the web; there’s no curation involved (except for the work of DSF ‘s editors). There is no contact form on the website, just a means to create a
