Baby, don't hurt me... I'm quoiromantic, which in my case means I really don't know where I fall on the romantic spectrum. I do not understand what romance is. I discovered this through writing asexual romance plots, and struggling with the transition from Not in Love to In Love.(less)

2024 Year End Wrap Up

A year of anthologies amid horror.

I may be a writer, but I do not have words for the horror of this past year and some change. I don’t know that I ever will. I almost stopped writing completely. It was so hard to find my way back.

PodCastle reprinted ‘Handala. The Olive, the Storm, and the Sea’ in their issue of Palestinian Voices.

Topics Mentioning This Author

“Don’t you understand? When you’re standing on their side, you’re the bizarre genius, the miraculous hero, the force of the rebellion, the flower that blooms alone. But the second your voice differs from theirs, you’ve lost your mind, you’ve ignored morality, you’ve walked the crooked path.”
墨香铜臭, 魔道祖师 [Mó Dào Zǔ Shī]
