I've been sitting on this news for a while, and I can't believe I get to share it with you today:

I also update via my newsletter and the gram. I'm hardly here anymore.
A thought-provoking and far-ranging discussion with Mark van Rijmenam @the_digital_speaker on the Synthetic Minds podcast!
We talked about the ethics of mind uploading, the intersection of virtual reality and human experience, and the implications for society.

"With a protagonist you can’t help but root for, It’s Only a Game keeps the twists coming! Yu keeps you guessing in the best of ways, with likable characters, fully-realized settings, and surprises behind surprises. The perfect read for anyone who likes psychological games..." 🧵

Clarkesworld is amazing.
We're still rebuilding subscriptions (since Amazon abandoned them) and pushing back against the generated submissions on a daily basis. We'd like to keep doing so. The path forward requires us to keep shouting from the rooftops, so... clarkesworldmagazine.com/sub…
Thank you!

This is not one of ours, but contains great stories by many authors we've worked with before, including @ClareRhoden, @NikkyMLee, @gracechanwrites @LeanbhPearson, @TeeLinden, @AvelinePerez, @BecksMuse, @I_say_meow and @AustinPSheehan.
A great read and well worth supporting!
Excited to share that this beauty from PS Publishing—which contains my story 'The Violet Hour'—is now available in ebook!

ALT CURATOR'S NOTE I'm thrilled to include in this StoryBundle the groundbreaking anthology from Lee Murray and Geneve Flynn that swept the Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson awards. Black Cranes: Tales of Unquiet Women smashed stereotypes surrounding Asian women to smithereens even as the authors drew on their cultures and mythologies to open new frontiers in fear. This book and the stories within it were nominated for many more honors, with the Eugie Foster Award bestowed on Elaine Cuyegkeng's hauntingly beautiful opener, "The Genetic Alchemist's Daughter."

The protagonist, a young woman named Tao-Yi and her partner Navin live in Southbank, Melbourne, where the average outdoor temperature is too hot for prolonged exposure.

Zowie Douglas-Kinghorn and @mascarareview, I'm honoured by your review of EVOY. Thanks for noting the book's "tactile fleshiness" and Matrix allusions, and for this wonderful quote:
"This idea of reinvention as self-obliteration is a recurring duality in Every Version of You."

In Every Version of You, hyperspace becomes the locus of existence, even though its permanent residents are technically, corporeally dead.

I hereby propose a new Grand Unified Theory of Books (GUTB™)- that all books (& literature) be considered as consisting of fundamental elements called strings which vibrate at different frequencies called "vibes" & all properties of books arise from the interaction of vibes.
Thank you @MeridianAustral for this awesome interview! I loved these questions, especially: "What’s one thing you wish people wrote about more?" and "What was the one moment that made you feel like a Real Author™?"
We asked @gracechanwrites a few questions about her writing journey, her process, and her craft:
