Join this online bookclub discussion with Nikki and Tanya about my novel SHIGIDI. I'll make an appearance and talk about supernatural heists at the British museum, African gods, belief and sex as sources of power, plus more. It'll be fun.

I had no idea what One Battle After Another was about before I decided to go see it. Hadn't seen any trailers or anything for it and so I didnt know what to expect. It started off shaky but by the end I thoroughly enjoyed that weird movie.

I was in the UAE with Zuks just a few months ago, talking, laughing, reading. She's such a force of life and creativity. Her abduction, like so much else, is heartbreaking.

I was lucky enough to hear Wole Talabi read some of his novella "Descent" at Flights of Foundry, and having just finished reading it, I want to make everyone else read it, too. Fascinating worldbuilding; gorgeous images; a thoughtful portrayal of how and why we seek knowledge. tinyurl.com/wt-descent

Yes indeed, and that @arstechnica.com article by Lee Hutchinson was one of my sources. My story was "A Sky and a Heaven" and it shared the 2023 Sidewise Award for Best Short Form Alternate History with "A Dream of Electric Mothers" by @wtalabi.bsky.social.
