I had 9 stories published this year but would be honored if you checked out these two for Nebula/Hugo/Locus consideration🙏. 1) “Another Girl Under The Iron Bell” (horror romantasy novelette). 2) “Before We Were Born” (sci-fi short).

It’s Obon season again, the time for passed loved ones to visit home again, so here’s my shouryouma-inspired poem “there are no taxis for the dead,” (published @UncannyMagazine).

The one thing I will say is that you should never write to “fit” a magazine, but if you read enough of the work published, you will eventually get a much better feel for which of your stories/poems would best fit a specific magazine.

Ahhh, just saw my time traveler romance “Time Is An Ocean” was podcast on @strangehorizons! The narration is so good!. I love that feeling of stepping into an old story and meeting characters you really cared about again, like seeing old friends.

Someone recently told me I should write more happy/optimistic endings if I want to leave a better impression on readers (“to have mass appeal”), but I want to believe it’s better to write stories that are loved by some + hated by others than ones that are “just fine” to everyone.

Been thinking about how the best stories are the ones where the main character can just disappear for a quarter of the book/series and you don’t even care because you’re having such a good time with the side characters and world.

And for anyone curious, my poem "Ferry to the Island of Ghosts" in @UncannyMagazine was inspired by the same village ⛴️ Less than 50 people still live there.

Contract signed! So excited my seaside horror story “The Island of Sea Turtles and Blood” will be in a future issue of @apexmag! . This story is loosely inspired by kappa and my time at a remote village in Iriomote Island that had no roads to reach it.
