Hey look, it’s me holding up a copy of my story in this month’s issue of @asimovssfmag.bsky.social! My first publication ever available in a brick and mortar store, too! Check my blog/newsletter for more info :)

#SFFChat Sept 6: Retribution Falls by Chris Wooding! It was one of the first books I ever read that had morally complex characters who were equal parts interesting, dislikable, and compelling. My own writing is influenced by his characterization to this day.

#SFFChat Sept. 5: all of my characters go through some sort of transformation within the book, but I’d say the biggest is Callum. He goes from an angry, self-isolating person to someone who can handle his grief and is actively working on healing relationships he previously damaged.

#SFFChat A4: here’s the opening page of De Terra Ad Infinitum!

#SFFChat A3: my first professionally published short story came out on 9/2 with Apex Magazine! I have another one out with Asimov’s this month as well.

One of my life goals as a writer was to have a piece published in one of the Big SF Mags, and to have *two* in one month is a dream come true.

#SFFChat A2: Terrah’s goals and aspirations in life have gone from more self-centric dreams to dreams that support the family she’s found/built. In the book, she has to learn to be selfish again—because she can’t help anyone else if she doesn’t help herself first.

#SFFchat A1: aside from my usual plethora of short stories, my current project is De Terra Ad Infinitum, a dieselpunk alt-earth sci-fi novel about illegal plane racing, flying cities in an apocalyptic world, government conspiracies, and the unavoidably cyclical nature of human history!

Oh this is so cool! I’m totally going to do this—I’ll make a thread and then backdate the first few posts :) what a fun idea!

Also also, as a fun little extra, a friend of mine did fan art for Black Gold a while back—here’s her interpretation of the MC!

(Also, please go support her art if you like what you see! You can find her on KoFi here: ko-fi.com/cat_psychic)

Mountain biking! Hilariously, I’ve come full circle and now coach for the team I raced for back in high school. The cycling world is very small 😂

Hi #weeknightwriters! I coach a HS sports team this time on Thursdays so alas I can only pop in right at the end—I have two upcoming short story publications! One is Black Gold, out with Apex Magazine on 9/2. My other, Lolo’s Last Run, is currently out in the Sept/Oct edition of Asimov’s!

hi y’all!! I’m absolutely blown away by all the amazing #PosterPit posters, and the love you’ve shown my projects #PlanesWIP and #PiratesWIP! I’ll introduce myself properly for all the new folks soon, but for now I just want to thank y’all 🥹 what a wonderful #WritingCommunity

Unfortunately not yet! There was an old, old version of it once available on Amazon, but I pulled the series from all platforms to rewrite it and query it traditionally. Fingers crossed it’ll be published sometime soon!

Think: A forest that gives birth. The paper-thin layer of skin between life and death. The sacrifices we make to ensure our lineage.

Pairs well with: sandalwood, cedar, bonfire, freshly laid mulch, and pinot noir.
