NEW BOOKS ARE COMING.
TWO OF THEM.
Earlier this week I announced two new projects coming out:Β
Β
A NOVEL: called Poster Girl, "a dystopian mystery about the search for a missing girl and the ill effects of mass surveillance on society." Out in FALL 2022 from William Morrow Books.
A NOVELLA: called Arch-Conspirator, which is a science fiction retelling of Antigone. Out in WINTER 2023 from Tor.Β (Which means early 2023.)
Find out more about the latter in the announcement post, here. Find out more about the former...later. I promise I'll give more details eventually. But the important thing is: NEW BOOKS! I am currently polishing them both, and very excited for you to read them.
If you're thinking to yourself "Fall 2022? That's so far off, though, V," I have good news for you:
A couple months ago I had a short story published by Catapult that is a letter from a mother to her unborn child...with a sci-fi twist:Β Become of Me.
This year I was the guest editor of the Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy anthology, a selection of the best short stories published last year in science fiction and fantasy. I had to whittle down a list of 80 stories to a mere 20, and it was quite a task. If you're interested in exploring short fiction (I recommend it) or want a sampling of some of the best SFF has to offer right now, you should give it a read.
I also did a podcast conversation with John Joseph Adams, the series editor of the Best American SFF anthologies, and Yohanca Delgado, one of the authors included (twice, in this case!) in the anthology, hosted by science fiction author David Barr Kirtley, on Geek's Guide to the Galaxy. We had a great time. I described one of the stories' world-building as "repulsive...but I loved it," AND I MEANT IT. Listen here.
I hope you're all well and enjoying the slow descent into winter. (I actually am-- the article that helped me shift my attitude toward Chicago winters is here, if you're interested.)Β
