I had the privilege of reading both the short story that led to Sunbathers, and an early copy of the novella. It’s fabulous. Pick up a copy if you can! ☀️

It’s a goddamn shame that short speculative fiction is at its creative peak now, when its markets are in economic shambles. I wish 1920s-80s levels of SFF money were available now to finance beautiful and gay and provocative genre fic, instead of during the libertarian-punches-his-way-to-Mars era.

I actually squealed at that last Francesca scene in season 3!! I'm going to need to write several extremely steamy queer historical romances to keep us entertained until the next season of Bridgerton drops.

I'm thrilled that Patrick has chosen my queer Charon/cursed doe-girl story 'Styx and Stones' as part of this amazing collection! That line-up is WILD. I feel extremely honoured.
Announcement 1: THIS line-up for my first anthology-editing gig. AND ONE DAY WE WILL DIE: STRANGE STORIES INSPIRED BY THE MUSIC OF NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL from @HungryShadow1. Trust me invited & slush stories surpassed already high expectations. Plus check the cover art & foreword!
