The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 62, “Mermay - Golden Hour" by Maxine Vee: In a forest of brown, orange, and golden leaves, a mermaid with orange/gold hair sits on a rock in a small light blue pond. She stares at her open palms, illuminated by a beam of sunlight. Purple flowers in shade lie scattered on the ground in the foreground. The quote reads: "The form is one page long. No back. Just a front. It should be longer. There are six copies of the form, all different colors. Like I’m working my way through the rainbow to the end where I’ll finally find peace. Red. A parent or guardian. I meet my mother for lunch at the little bistro down the street."

Got to hang out with @brucecoville.bsky.social today at #rewind book fair and @greendragonbooks.bsky.social . What a delightful and kind person. Watching his readers meet with him just warmed my heart so much. The books we read when we’re young are like nothing else. They burrow into us.

When her rest is interrupted by hunters intent on murdering her, she constructs a body using a metal chain for a backbone, borrowed bones for limbs, a...

Hey, the audiobook of my Nebula-winning novel Someone You Can Build A Nest In is just SEVEN BUCKS! The deals lasts a while longer.

A shapeshifting monster *accidentally* falls in love with the woman who's hunting her. We've all been there, right?

Thank you so much John.

I wrote this story during the occupation of ICE in Minneapolis. There are links in the author interview and adspace on the actual webpage if you would like to help.
