My new Strange Horizons essay is up! With a deliberately provocative title!
WHY ALL SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY WRITERS ARE HISTORIANS
Yes, *all*
And, no, it isn't just for the reason you think...
I've been working toward this one for a while, very excited to share it!
Cover image for Love Galaxy showing three moons, moody clouds, and two women standing on a rock overlooking the sea while waves crash below them. Two camera drones circle the women and there’s a manor in the distance.
My debut novel is going to be releasing a smidge sooner in the U.S. & Canada which means less waiting and also I’m absolutely totally emotionally prepared, see I even made a graphic
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
struck by how much places that do not usually do political journalism have stepped up in this time.
Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
every federal agent who ever put on a mask did so because on some level they knew this moment was coming
they knew they were setting out to do things that would deserve profound shame at the least, and righteous retribution at the most
There has NEVER BEEN AN IMMIGRATION PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY.
There has been a racist, nationalist fear-mongering problem in this country.
There has been an immigrant worker exploitation problem.
But there has never been an "immigration problem."
I hope you enjoy! And I’m really looking forward to Enchanting the Fae Queen!!
The front cover of the paperback advance reading copy of Love Galaxy shows whirls of neon color in outer space along with two floating women reaching their hands out to each other. The text reads: Tonight, on Love Galaxy, a hot new bombshell enters the cosmos!
The back cover reads: Are you ready to find the greatest love in the galaxy? A reality dating show goes intergalactic in this genre-blending sci-fi romance novel for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Hannah Nicole Maehrer. Trash collector Temmi never expected to land a spot on Love Galaxy, the wildly popular dating show starring the brother and sister heirs to the galactic empire: twenty-four contestants. Two imperial heirs. One chance for Temmi to change her life. Hang on - Temmi, babes, you're supposed to be wooing the prince, not falling for his sister! Temmi may have been hand-picked to date the quiet, bookish prince, but she can't seem to keep away from Princess Spie. She's entirely off limits, but their magnetic chemistry is undeniable. OK, plot twist! But all's fair in love and revolution, right? When contestants start turning up dead and whispers of rebellion spread, Temmi and Spie find themselves in over their heads - romantically, politically and, possibly, fatally. Deadly eliminations and an anti-Empire coup? Things on Love Galaxy are getting seriously off script... The competition kicks off May 7th 2026.
I was absolutely thrilled to get this ARC of Love Galaxy, by @sierrabranham.bsky.social , set at a galactic reality TV love competition with a sapphic forbidden romance twist!
Thanks to @transworldbooks.bsky.social for my copy. 💕

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.
The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”
ICE doesn't keep our communities safe.
I am sold seven hundred times over. Very excited to read this!

Global hunger is falling for the first time since the pandemic, driven by gains in Asia and the Americas. In 2025 the world produced record harvests of wheat, rice and soybeans, pushing grain prices down 8 percent and rice prices to their lowest in 18 years. buff.ly/2Jeoldi
