INTERGALACTIC FEAST is out in North America!
It’s the sequel to Interstellar MegaChef, with more Serenity Ko shenanigans, more secrets sneaking up on Saras… and all the food in the galaxy 🍩🚀
I’m super excited to be sharing this book with you!
A 🧵 of gratitude! But first…

Had a really great time working with the editors at Future Tense on a new short story: What Would Akanda Do? out now in issues .org . It's a near-future story about a Bollywood star who signed away his likeness to AI, and now has some thoughts: issues.org/futuretensefictio…

An excellent review of the anthology "Deep Dream: Science Fiction About The Future Of Art" which contains my novelette "Encore" in the @AncillaryReview. I particularly appreciate the description of my in-story fun-and-games-with-physics as "pure poetry".
