Congrats!

ICYMI:

It's also got some action in it but is a bit more focused on relationships, power, magic, and pain. There is a relentless quality to the piece, as this great weight of history comes crashing down, and only one person can truly face it. It's beautifully accomplished.

"A Librarian's Resolution In The Land Of Demons" by Oluwatomiwa Ajeigbe returns to the half-ruined city introduced in “A Witch's Transition In The City Of Ghosts” and completes the destruction, giving some background to the setting and exploring more of its depth and tragedy.

On an Unusual Kind of Spatially Distributed Haunting - Lightspeed Magazine Dear Dr. Erzsébet Krajcsik-Nagy, I am contacting you as a member of the general public, and not as a fellow scholar, though I must say my chosen field of art history does have certain similarities to...

I have a new flash story in Lightspeed!

"On an Unusual Kind of Spatially Distributed Haunting"

Somewhere in the borderlands between folk horror and hard SF... Hard fantasy??? #Hauntology something.

It’s funny because promoting and marketing a book in any way, shape, or form is actually NOT the author’s job. At all. It is unpaid labor we’ve been forced to do for so long the expectation has mutated like a virus into “okay now you also have to be a TikTok sensation to do this as a job.”

Been trying to incorporate math into my fiction recently. I've been taking a lot of notes from your stories. 😁
