March 2023: I will be attending WisCon 46, May 26-29.

March 2022: My flash fiction-poetry hybrid “Collecting Ynes” is now available to read in Fantasy Magazine.

January 2022: The enhanced audiobook version of Exile is now available from GraphicAudio. What makes it an “enhanced” audiobook? GraphicAudio creates “A Movie in Your Mind” using a full cast of actors, sound effects, and cinematic music. I’m really excited that Exile will be reaching a whole new audience of readers!

Also, since this is award nomination season, I created a Twitter thread listing my eligible works from 2021.

June 2021: Speculative Fiction for Dreamers, the Latinx anthology including my short story “Tía Abuela’s Face, Ten Ways,” received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly, which called the book “a knockout” and lauded its “38 masterful stories.” The book can be pre-ordered on Amazon.

Now in addition to a Ko-fi account, I have a Patreon account.  Whether you’re looking to buy me a virtual cuppa coffee or want to support my work on a month-to-month basis, I’ve tried to make it an easier process. Although the Patreon is focused on art journaling and poetry, the funds it brings in ensure I can write novels and short stories, too–anything my muse dictates!

January 2021: Climbing Lightly Through Forests, A Poetry Anthology Honoring Ursula K. Le Guin, edited by R.B. Lemberg and myself, is now available for purchase as paperback or ebook via the publisher, Aqueduct Press; Indiebound.org; Amazon; and many fine bookstores.  I recommend A Room of One’s Own.
