Walk This Way

The time has come, <<First Name>>: Forest Avenue Press' Dispatches from Anarres, 31 tales in tribute to Ursula K. Le Guin (including my story "Laddie Come Home"), is available this month! And I'm doing a virtual book launch event this Thursday. Register for the Zoom webinar with editor Susan DeFreitas (Hot Season) plus contributors Lidia Yuknavitch (Verge), Michelle Ruiz Keil (Summer in the City of Roses), David D. Levine (Arabella of Mars trilogy), Leni Zumas (Red Clocks), and myself.

Meanwhile, on the internet

I've been republishing some of my stories from Curious Fictions, originally only available to paid subscribers, on my own website. They'll now be available for anyone to read under a Creative Commons license. Here's what I've moved over so far:

• "Cats Don't Care About Universal Basic Income" does what it says on the tin
• "When Second Is Actually First" (I won't say I told you so)
• "The Long Hello" was inspired, affectionately, by that old joke about lesbians
• "Kinky Bots" includes probably the most explicit discussion of sex out of any story I've published so far
• "Fresh Off the Bod" showcases me examining my Asian-American heritage via some extremely problematic tropes
