“Singularities” by Cressida Roe

If you’re still reading and filling your noms/ballots for the Nebulas, Hugos, Locus, & Ignytes, I’d be honored if you considered “Singularities,” published in @kaleidotrope.bsky.social & featured by Alex Brown in Reactor, in the Short Story category!

A blue, black, and white papercraft bird robot

Here's a teaser for the "The Uncanny Valley" rerelease when "No Man's Land" comes out! I'm more confident in my papercrafting than almost any other medium, so i'm physically making the art for the new covers 😅

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 63, “Blessed Universe" by Galen Dara: An ethereal figure stands front and center of the frame, behind here there is a shower of stars on a violet space-landscape. She is dressed in robes that blend into her, and she holds her palms open. On each hand and the center of her chest there are three sources of light, as if she has the moon for a heart, and stars on the palm of her hands, a mist rises from her open palms. The quote reads: "What a strange world and what powerful characters Titos Pavlou has created! I can’t stop thinking about this book even though this might be for younger readers. But! It’s only the first in the series and I’ve read online that the second installment gets more grown-up, so I’ll stick it out for the battle scenes."

I realized I never added my Very Short Stories to my @inkfoundry.bsky.social page. Now they're there (well, pending; they'll appear soon), so if you're looking for a few 200-word stories, well, enjoy.

(My personal fav among them is "The Trick", though "Eating Everything There Ever Was" is fun too.)

So apparently you should not take Adderall, drink half a gallon of iced coffee, and listen to Pam Bondi's hearing while editing a website. Turns out that's bad. Should've put that on a warning label somewhere.
