My new Strange Horizons essay is up! With a deliberately provocative title!

WHY ALL SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY WRITERS ARE HISTORIANS

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.

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."

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 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.
