Better late than never, right? Thank you to the wonderful @DreamForgeMag , @dbs_press , @WaterDragonPub , and @AurealisMag for making my first year in fiction so memorable!
What an honor! Thanks to @DreamForgeMag for giving this story the perfect home, and WSFA for considering it for the award. Such wonderful news to hear upon moving (back) to Aotearoa New Zealand!
Big news from DreamForge! Congratulations to Kai Holmwood, the author of "A Bowl of Soup on the 87th Floor" (DreamForge March 2023), is one of the WSFA Small Press Award Finalists for 2024. Locus Magazine Article: zurl.co/HMIy Read the story zurl.co/6XSM
It's always a pleasure to write about my almost-home city, and even more of a pleasure when that piece finds the perfect home itself!
What would happen if Joan Didion's "The Dam" met a successfully solarpunk future? This almost-flash piece in the brilliant @pocketsmag is my take on an answer.
“The moment that should have been meaningful was peculiar in its ordinariness.” With a nod to Joan Didion, @KaiHolmwood 's “Return to the Dam,” is a futuristic short, fantastically imagined: doesithavepockets.com/fiction/kai-ho… Art @DIHPocketsART
BTW, don't forget to support the fiction you love by posting reviews wherever you can 💛 GoodReads, Amazon, your personal blog, anywhere. It's often very hard for indie works to be noticed and a simple tweet or a couple of words is worth a lot.
I'm still waiting for my author copies but people are already receiving their paperback editions of DIFFERENT KINDS OF DEFIANCE! 🌄 You can get your copy in the publisher's website, at Amazon, or other webstores! Links on my bio/website.
Honored to be part of this issue with a micro inspired by Elsie Walker, the young woman whose 1928 murder in Aotearoa New Zealand remains (technically) unsolved.
Our first 2024 issue QUIET | MĀRIRE is here 🪷 flashfrontier.com/march-2024-qui… Inside you'll find wonderful flash from Aotearoa and across the oceans, art features, interviews, and we also welcome Mikaela Nyman to our editorial team...and so much more! #flashfiction #flashfrontier
My MA final project explored the experience of place in California, so I'm thrilled to have a piece forthcoming in the great @underscore_mag that includes exactly that! Here comes instability, a shifting identity, and the sense that you can never go back to what you were.
AHHH!!! @KhoreoMag got a Hugo nom!! So proud to be part of this team of fantastic folks!! 🥰🖤🖤🖤🖤

Wrensters and wren fans, did you know that you can print out each issue in zine form? tinywrenlit.com/issue-6
Big thanks to @press_android's Justine Norton-Kertson for sharing their enthusiasm for THE JAGUAR MASK! "A new novel for the solarpunk revolution! DeLuca's The Jaguar Mask is a page-turner that takes off on page one and doesn't slow down." The book's on Netgalley for 4 more days!
I'm home. It's here. And it's beautiful. Look at that @aperrincycling cover!! Order your copy of Issue 15 today and I'll ship it out straightaway!
Sometimes a protagonist is so awful they need a content warning! Thrilled that @InAnotherTimeM understood the vision of a story that could have been solarpunk if it weren't for the protagonist, and that "The Legacy of the Vines" is forthcoming in Issue 2!
Happy book birthday to this fantastic collection! It was a delight to read, and I highly recommend it.
It's pub day! 🥳🎉 Thrilled to say that DIFFERENT KINDS OF DEFIANCE is now out in paperback and ebook by @press_android! Links on my website.
DIFFERENT KINDS OF DEFIANCE will be out tomorrow by @press_android! 🌅 It's a collection of 10 solarpunk/clifi short stories filled with hope, resilience, and lots of struggle. If you read it, consider leaving a review at Goodreads, Amazon, or simply shouting out about it 💚
1 day left to save $/€/£ by pre-ordering Issue 15. I get home tomorrow, raise the price & will ship to U.S. addresses on Tuesday. UK and EU readers can select Saver Shipping to save money on postage. Those orders will ship from London on 4 April. 🖤🤍 stanchionzine.com/product-page/i…

Just finished reading an ARC of "Different Kinds of Defiance" by @RenanBernardo — wow! Highly recommended for those who (like me) want to believe in a better future but struggle with utopian visions. And I think it's being released in just two days!
