Great news! The poetry collection including several of my haiku has now been published through Quillkeepers Press. Ikusei is released on Amazon, with both eBooks and physical copies available. I love the linework images included throughout the book.
My section starts on page 63.
Relatedly, my SciFi short story is days away from being published in The MockingOwl Roost quarterly magazine. I have linked the tab that shows all magazine issues – my story will be in Among the Distant Stars, which will be published on the 15th of August.
In the meantime, I am frequenting the Seattle WorldCon Discord often in the days leading up to con kickoff. This will be my first experience with a virtual membership. I’ve already browsed the Virtual and Streamed offerings and set up a busy timetable with any panels I’m remotely interested in joining.
Recorded panels will be announced in the near future, so I am hoping that I can catch up most panels from my schedule that occur before midday con-time (midday is my 7am). I will also be working my day job as per usual and I suspect a lot of the panels I’m interested in won’t fall neatly during breaks.
Because the best posts include cat tax, here is one of my cats. She lives indoors and likes to accompany me outside when I take out the compost. She’s partially trained – although her recall takes a lot of time, she gets it done eventually.
