NEW BOOK! Killing Eve (Fall 2026, WSU Press)
- i’m not an effusive person but i have spontaneously said i love you to more people in the past month than in the past 10 years
- finishing up the copyedits! 🐸🦂❤️ it feels good to have a fun moment
- in the middle of everything i’m meeting some wonderful brilliant kind people ✨
- Isaac has a new book!! And Tor has a new imprint!!
- NEWS! My next book, TRANSLUNAR, about a closeted trans woman who's an astronaut in the sixties, is coming out in fall 2027! It'll be on Wildthorn, Tor's brand-new general fiction imprint -- a dream, as it lets me work with @englelaird.bsky.social on my literary and historical fiction as well as SFF.
- thrilled to be included in this super smart and insightful article
- not a novel or a poem or an essay or a memoir or a screenplay or a fable or a manifesto or a parable or a ballad or a myth but some secret innumerable unnamable thing that one day - one day! - i shall finish
- if i wrote about tv again, i'd write about the centrality of romantasy and queerness in both pluribus and heated rivalry, the recurring appearance of the bored queer russian asshole (villanelle to ilya), and the fanfictionication of tv in our current times
- new year means new book release means magnificently awkward attempts at self-promotion coming soon 🥳
- me planning the new book: i’m gonna carol sturka this shit
- friends! this is a fantastic opportunity to read some amazing short stories and poetry, support some super talented authors, AND participate in the incredible community-building work of the transfeminine review ✨
- and the “inefficiencies” of the physical archive often lead to sources and context that otherwise would be overlooked
- intertextual reference to mulholland drive as pluribus recreates an old diner to stage a conversation about individual/collective consciousness 🤯
- the fact writing of autumn is over. the fiction writing of winter begins
- t-shirt shopping my way through the apocalypse. this is my favorite one yet @littlepuss.net
- can’t AI do that for you?

- book piracy discourse but it’s not about this book or pirate?
- is it just me or is pluribus a clever meta commentary on the relationship between writers & fans? from the opening book reading - to the slippage from love potion plot-notes to truth serum antics - to the global fandom hivemind vs the “anti” - to the grumpy/sunshine trope writ large? plus lesbians ✨

- book marketing strategy: i know a superfan or two
