As a history and foreign language teacher, Iโ€™m drawn to prehistoric, ancient, medieval, and modern history, especially the cultural side. I focus on art, traditions, beliefs, music, and other expressions that show how societies interact, evolve, and contribute to one another. #MSWL

For nonfiction, hoping to see topics on history, cinema, video games, anime, Kโ€‘pop, Latino/Hispanic music, LGBT+ culture, spirituality/witchcraft, methods of divination, meditation, world traditional/contemporary practices, deity worship, neuroscience, humanโ€“nature interaction, social media... #MSWL

Iโ€™d love fiction with magical realism, historical fiction, contemporary fantasy, romance/romcoms, epic/high fantasy, LitRPG, mystery, or sciโ€‘fi. Blend them? Great. Fantasy + mystery? Great. Magical realism + historical? Great. Set in Latin America, Africa, Asia, or about diaspora lives? Great #MSWL

From an unfinished Holocaust novel came the seed of a new graphic novel. Rabbi Rafael Grossman once described a moment that became the heart of A VISIT TO MOSCOW, illustrated by Yevgenia Nayberg. Hereโ€™s a look at the art by Joshua Edelglass for that original unfinished manuscript.

The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nationโ€™s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

Books travel in unexpected ways. Somehow A VISIT TO MOSCOW, illustrated by Yevgenia Nayberg, found its way to Forest Creek Middle School in Fort Mill, SCโ€”quietly waiting for its next reader. A reminder of the joy of discovering books far from where they began.

"Of all the books Iโ€™ve had the opportunity to review, 'What a Fish Looks Like' is one of my absolute favourites."

When a reviewer as thoughtful and cogent as @redfernjon.bsky.social writes that, I pay attention.

Check out the review we just published of @syr.bsky.social's debut novella!

I don't quite know what to do with the information of the brilliance that is @redfernjon.bsky.social engaging so incisively with my book in @reckoningmag.bsky.social . I may never get over it. I am so very honored. Thank you, and thank you always @stelliform.press, now excuse me so I can go (!!!!)
