Big news!!

I am SO excited to share that my sci-fi novella, Bright Phaedra, has landed with Thinking Ink Press @thinkinginkpress.bsky.social

It's a near future story about asexual connection, the temptations of AI, and the unboundedness of love.

I can't wait for you all to read this one!!

In Tesco’s this afternoon: an elderly Polish man at the self-checkout, trying to buy a pint of milk and a white radish. There is no picture for the radish on the machine. The assistant doesn’t know what it is. She asks a colleague: “It’s a white radish.” There is no entry for it on the machine.

i love being part of psychopomp staff so very much

i'm continually in awe of the quality of the work they put out at (The Deadlands, Psychopomp, and Fantasy), and it says a lot that this kind of quality is having trouble surviving.

This is hard news. Please read Sean's post to the end, friends 🖤🖤🖤

Today at @thedeadlands.com one of the favorite poems I've written lately, and 2025 has been a good year for my poetry. This poem is about a Yiddish play that haunts me, Night in the Old Marketplace, which was never performed as written. Some critics say it is not a play at all.
“This is a story: there’s a marketplace
at midnight. Your voice
calls the dead to awaken.”

today’s new poetry, beloveds! 🖤💀
