It’s about a year until Revolution in the Heart, an anthology of short stories inspired by the work of Ursula Le Guin, will go on sale:

I’m feeling pretty lucky to have a story in this one. Le Guin is obviously a big influence on me, and there are so many talented writers in this book who also want to acknowledge her role in their writing. Jonathan Strahan edited, the cover design is gorgeous, and I think it’s being published (by Titan Books) at the end of September 2026. Here are some links to pre-order in the UK:

Speaking of short stories, it was great to have my latest one (The Directorial Eye) in Bourbon Penn picked as one of Reactor’s Must Read Short Speculative Fictions for July 2025 – here’s the article, along with links to all the pieces picked for the month. I know, that was July and this is September. Dates are mashing together. I’m a bit ahead/behind the times.
