My story is out today in Fantasy Magazine!
This story is based on the monstrous half-Christian, half-Muslim child in the medieval romance 'The King of Tars.' https://www.fantasy-magazine.com/fm/fiction/negative-theology-of-the-child-from-the-king-of-tars/

The muse calls me βDigenia.β It is not my real name; that is suspended while I am traveling through these verses, now some 690 years old. To pass through this realm of allegory and myth, of device and symbiotics, one needs to carry a standard. Mine is of the βtwo-blooded.β Twice-blooded, I want to say. Down through the ages, this language which I speak and write in has no words that contain me. There are plenty of hyphenated adjectives: Half-breed, mixed-blood. But, like the Great Mystery, symbols slide off me. Looking too close is dangerous. I might look back.

I'm creating a guide to Mastodon for SFF folks and am including a list of cool people they should follow. If you're cool people see the post for the form to add yourself.

Based on @[email protected]'s excellent idea (linked below), I'm creating a Mastodon Onboarding For The Confused for the sff community. It'll contain a list of SFF people to follow, a small tutorial on how to tweak Mastodon so it's less confusing to look at and what all the labels mean, and a SHORT list of SFF and marginalized friendly Mastodon servers (including this one). Wanna be on the follow list? Fill this out: https://airtable.com/appH69KPpZfJVi15C/shrVEOExGHSrpFSBh Inspiration: https://masto.ai/@stavvers/110825117664171235

Autumn Child is my big gay Canaanite godpunk story. Dabeb owes a life debt to Hirupanu, the Autumn Child. The bond between the two, man and god, proves to be truly unbreakable.
You can read it here, as an exclusive Kindle single:
I'm reissuing some of my short stories as singles on Amazon, starting with 'From Whole Cloth:'
A Queer retelling of the Palestinian folktale 'The Story That Begins and Ends with Lies.'
Prince Noor has to marry. He desires nothing more than to spend his days with a woman who can tell stories that are nothing but lies. When he meets the woman who seems fated to be his match, how will their story end? More importantly, who will write it?
