Two gorgeous covers!!
The US cover of Vile Lady Villains (out from Union Square & Co on May 12) has now been officially revealed and I wrote an essay in @debutiful.bsky.social about it.
Give it a read, if you will.

A screenshot of the Locus Magazine homepage, featuring a black top navigation bar, a preview of a review of the book Tell Me Yours, I'll Tell You Mine (reviewer: Ian Mond) above a preview of a review of the movie Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (reviewer: Josh Pearce). The book cover is yellow with pink text and brown rabbits creeping in at the corners. The movie poster has a teal background and red text with Sam Rockwell's head attached to a mess of cables.
Ian Mond's review of Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine from the Feb issue of @locusmag.bsky.social is now online! At the top of the scroll today, next to the great Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.

GIMME! AND CONGRATS!!!
Good news: my dragon is now on Netgalley!
It’s a different sort of dragon rider novel: one from the dragon’s POV. He’s just here for the free food, he swears.
If you are an ARC-ish sort, there is a Read Now window open through Friday.
I have one!
"A vivid, surreal Gothic about a queer, Latine, working class witch who sets out to rescue a bespelled heiress and loses control of her powers and her heart in the process."

A dating horror novel.
I have a new story out today in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social!
“What We Mean When We Talk About The Hole In The Bathroom” is about superstition, intercultural relationships, and yes, a strange hole in the bathroom.

Growing up queer in South India in the 90s was life on hard mode, but with a bit of self-preservation, lots of mistakes, and Savage Garden, I got through it
Anyway, have my disaster bisexual essay about lying about liking a boy when I was thirteen
to cover up the fact that I actually liked a girl
Each year, the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize is given for a book of imaginative fiction that reflects the concepts and ideas central to Ursula’s own work. If there’s a 2025 title that fits this description for you, please nominate it! And if Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine resonated, I’m honored.
Alternatively, you can make Skordalia (Garlicky). You can thank me later :D

Hey, Greek eat raw garlic as a remedy for blood pressure. I can eat both raw garlic and onion (don't tell anyone they'll approach with a ten foot pole). Just eat some bread with it and it won't be as bad.
The Drowned Man's Daughter is a fine book: rich, dark, intense, sneaky, secretly literary. On first reading I was simply lost in the strange and complex world of Naia and her cohort of generational slow-apocalypse survivors. As I read, I also wondered: does every generation of writers write the apocalypse that they have not earned but their forebears deserve?
Grateful for Candas Jane Dorsey's lovely review of THE DROWNED MAN'S DAUGHTER in Alberta Views: albertaviews.ca/the-drowned-...
ICYMI. Honored to have this beautiful, beautiful review of my book up at Strange Horizons, by @stephenrcase.bsky.social
"How is it that the only ones responsible for making this mess
Got their sorry asses stapled to a goddamn desk"
Pleased to share this new interview up at CRAFT! K. Roberts and I talk diasporic imagination, material plasticity in fiction, Gibson’s “The future has arrived—it's just not evenly distributed yet,” a lightning round of literary influences, and more.
Many thanks to @acwise.bsky.social for including TELL ME YOURS, I'LL TELL YOU MINE in this excellent year-in-review. Glad to be here alongside fantastic collections by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social, @vanessafogg.bsky.social, @thomasha.bsky.social, and lots more!
The death of possibly more than 100 little girls in a primary school. How is that not a central news story today across all serious outlets?
And thank you, FT, for being one of only a few newsrooms driving attention to what happened there.

I read this essay yesterday about SFF and History and it's been bugging me since, because I'm just not sure the approach to definitions (especially of litfic and romantasy, but also in more fundamental sense) works for me.
Thank you! I hope you like it 😊
Me (curly auburn hair, black top and pants) reading into a mic at a podium with a quilted book-patterned podium cover. Behind me, a red curtain, a string-light-wrapped pipe, and a green banner for the venue Writers & Books.

Three books—We're Here: The Best Speculative Fiction of the Year, ECO24: The Year's Best Speculative Ecofiction, and Tell Me Yours, I'll Tell You Mine sit face-out on a counter with stacks of books between them. Behind the counter, between windows, is a red poster that reads: Eat, Sleep, Read, Local.
I'm holding a copy of ECO24: The Year's Best Speculative Ecofiction in front of a bookshelf. The anthology's cover is black with an otherworldly pink blooming plant.
Had a really lovely time at yesterday's Speculative Fiction Salon at Writers & Books with local legends @jenniferhudak.bsky.social, @daviddegraff.bsky.social, and Cassandra Scherr! Thanks for packing the house for speculative queer and eco fiction. @neonhemlock.bsky.social @apexmag.bsky.social
