Couldn't stop thinking about this review from #LosAngelesReviewofBooks -- it does more than just review Silk & Sinew, it digs into the heart of the book and its works. Thank you Jered Mabaquiao and #LARB. Truly, what an honor.

To borrow your words. Fellow writers: if you ever get a chance to work with Kristy, do it 🎉
Having a publisher believe in your work is priceless. Thank you, Bad Hand.

My 2025 Awards Eligibility Post listing 11 stories and their publishers
I have no idea if these award eligibility posts actually DO anything other than lay bare the good and silly work I've been lucky to achieve in 2025. 11 short stories published (on top of finishing my first novel)! I'm very grateful to all the editors and publications who've given my words a go!
Awesome!

Front cover of Twiggy Voo? novel. An avenue of trees in a snowy wood lead the eye to a mansion in the distance. In the foreground of this night time scene, a shadowy figure stands watching.
Twiggy Voo?
A country Christmas party in 1913 Napoleonic Britain.

A Christmas cosy crime.

The End Times by Benjamin Percy appears on Stephen King's Wikipedia page.
Oh, you know...it's just little old Bad Hand Books popping up on Stephen King's Wikipedia page.
Excited to share PseudoPod's wonderful performance (read by Rebecca Wei Hsieh) of "The Squatters" by Shawna Yang Ryan from Silk & Sinew. This is a story that will stick with you for a long long time.
Light a candle, snuggle with a blanket, and take a listen.

From a recent Goodreads review of @garnetonwinter.bsky.social's SILK & SINEW:
"Silk & Sinew is excellent. It’s the sort of anthology that convinces you themed collections can still surprise you if the theme is a living organism."
