Here’s the cover for They Bloom at Night, my horror novel about a queer teen living on a coastal town taken over by red algae and contending with the monsters in the water—and itching at her skin.
It’s like Annihilation meets Speak. Coming 3/4/25!

Starting off Pride month with another #BIPOCQTchat tomorrow! 5pm pacific time
I missed this chat so much. Having a space to celebrate with other queer BIPOC writers was so healing, and I'm so happy to finally bring it back! I changed the name to be more inclusive, but it'll essentially be the same thing only here on bluesky instead of the other place

They Bloom at Night is there! It takes place in a small shrimping community in the South, where I grew up. Vietnamese immigrants settled there and became shrimpers. TBAN is about how survival becomes a piece of folklore.

To make this run, however, we need funding to the tune of 5000 USD. A full breakdown of costs can be found at concurrentseattle.weebly.com/funding.html. This is where you come in! Please help us make ConCurrent a real thing and declare unequivocally that genAI has no place in the arts. 3/7
Funding
No convention is put on for free, and ConCurrent is no exception. Luckily, our costs are low because of our single-day program. Below is a breakdown of what we'll need to get this off the ground.

Read for the #transrightsreadathon, this book was like OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA meets HELL FOLLOWED WITH US. The prose is salty, frightening, and beautiful like the waters it explores while the body horror asks what it means to be human.

THEY BLOOM AT NIGHT by @nvtran.bsky.social is a wonderfully queer coming-of-age horror/fantasy blending body horror and Vietnamese folklore. If you like eerie and emotional YA horror about grief and monsters, this one’s for you.
