Hi Folks! A lot of things have happened since I first started writing Light From Uncommon Stars. Recently, I've asked Tor to make a change in the book for all future editions. If you've bought a copy, please feel free to make the change on your own. Yes, this is an official retcon. <3 Ryka

I was asked to blurb a novel so I read the ARC and it was more horror than I expected and now I think I will have nightmares so I don't want to sleep... 🫣

Looking at rough of the next chapter I'm editing, I came across this sentence:

"Anyway, once we get back Anyway anyway, we'll have plenty of time to eat when we return."

Yes, it's a cut/paste remnant--but it's also sort of my world view in a nutshell. One day I should find a story for it.

Actually, this almost makes sense in a bizarro way. After all, trans folk are sort of the Portland of the greater queer community.

I am thinking of writing a very short flash opera about a worker bee whose troubles stem from not realizing how valuable she is to the hive. I will call it, “The Plight of the Humblebee.“
