Such a great article. Thank you for writing it. I loved the words of advice at the end.

“One of the most insidious aspects of colonialism, reinforced by the paucity of positive diverse representation in literature, is that authors of color often have to undertake an entire personal journey to learn that it is okay to write characters (and stories) that aren’t white”

Essential reading:

He is a muscular avenging antihero defending his family name. His painful past defines him, as does the loss of his beloved father. He will come to realise that, in fact, his father was a monster. Then he’ll dedicate his life to tearing down all his family built.

Wait, is Rotta… ripped?!

This entirety of month's bookstack is compromised of review books for @sffworld.com Looks like another fun and diverse stack of books! @cgolden.bsky.social @mhayinde.bsky.social @kierstenwhite.bsky.social @jedediahberry.bsky.social @sagapressbooks.bsky.social #bookstack #fantasybooks #horrorbooks

😂😂😂 Honestly though, I had nothing to do with it! I’m just the casual observer!

This is so true!!

I know! I’m just along for the story too! Can’t wait to find out what happens next… in my own book!

Oh my goodness. Dr. Daniel Black writes this way 😆 I once asked him why he made a character do something and he said “well daughter I was just as surprised as you were”

I wish I could control them, but I’ve given up trying!

Oh dear I’ve realised something terrible is about to happen to one of my characters and I am not responsible because I did not plan for this it is completely out of my control soz

Congratulations! 🎉

Short break from insanity to share that UNCERTAIN SONS is a BSFA finalist. A testament to @undertow.bsky.social's thoughtful work more than anything else that the book has gone anywhere. Thanks to them and to folks who support indies like UP. Means a lot. Congrats to all the finalists.

Best collection category

Delighted that my collection WHO WILL YOU SAVE? Is a finalist for the BSFA Awards!

This makes me an 11-time nominee (and twice winner)!

So THE SALT ORACLE is a finalist for the BSFA awards! And my amazing designer, Sam Gretton is a finalist for the cover too! 🙌🏽

Truly delighted for Sam & very, very grateful to everyone who voted for my strange, briny why-pick-one-genre-when-you-can-pick-four book 🤗
