The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 65, “The Duet" by Nilah Magruder: Two women sit at a piano. One is wearing a lilac dress with a locket around her neck, her skin is a dark shade and her hair white. Next to her, the second woman is wearing a red dress, and has black hair worn up in a bun-like style. Her head and hand are not attached to her body, giving the impression that she is not human but a robot of some kind. Both are smiling as they play together. The quote reads: "She’s the kind of mother who casts a hell of a shadow over a son trying to make his way in the same field of science. And let’s be real. She was more of an on paper mother, really, if you take into account the amount of time we actually spent together."

Book cover for 'Hole in the Sky' by Daniel H. Wilson. The cover shows the daytime sky with a hole in it, revealing stars and galaxies beyond.
Me and @redpilljunkie.bsky.social just finished recording an interview with author @danielhwilsonpdx.bsky.social about his new book, 'Hole in the Sky'.
Fantastic read that feels like it was custom made for Daily Grail readers: Alien contact, ancient monuments, transhumanism, consciousness and more!

So, look, I've been off social media a long while. I'm taking baby steps back, and this seems to be the best place. COMPLETELY independent of that, I happen to have a new novel out October 7 -- Hole in the Sky 😅
Hole in the Sky book cover.
It's been a long while since we had a new novel from @danielhwilsonpdx.bsky.social, but oh boy was it worth the wait. Hole in the Sky, a first contact story, comes out in October. I'm reading it now, for a @ala-booklist.bsky.social review, and I can tell you it is magnificent.
In the current @uncannymagazine.bsky.social I interview @danielhwilsonpdx.bsky.social about "Whalesong," a gripping tale of communication, family relationships, and whales.
